Windows Media Key Control of Emby App for Windows

[rOBvAN 1]

Hi guys.

There is an issue with controlling the app from the media keys once the app is not the main window. 

Using Play/Pause, Skip buttons when the app is selected works 100%. As soon as the app is not the selected window, the keys stop functioning. 

This is not exclsuive to Emby (VLC suffers from the same thing), but other apps do work such as Spotify and Chrome. It is quite frustrating to have to alt+tab to Emby to make use of these keys.

 

Thanks

OK yes, we can look at background support for this in future updates to the app. Thanks.
