"Next song" hotkey that works with iPac
I want to wire a physical button to skip to the next song. By default, eJukebox uses <Control><N> to skip songs. Can the iPac handle
control characters? If not, what are my options for making a physical button to skip songs?
Thanks,
Burke

Hi,
I assume ipac is on:
http://www.ultimarc.com/ipac1.html
Interesting anyway.
For the next/prev song you have the multimedia keys as well. Check if ipac can send those.
Otherwise a solution would be to remap the keys.
I use www.autohotkey.com
If it is a stand alone PC you can remap form the registry on WinXP (i have no experience on that)
Cheers, yogui

Again
As I said very interesting!
I may do one myself!
I use powermate
http://www.griffintechnology.com/products/powermate
it's good now that ejuke supports volume control and multimedia keys.
An arcade stick to control ejukebox will be good and much fun.
So If I understand
Need the stick and the ipac to talk to the PC.
I can tell that the programing at:
http://www.ultimarc.com/ipac2.html
does not include multimedia keys to send to the PC.
Question which are the connectors coming out form the joystick?
This ones
1 RIGHT R arrow
1 LEFT L arrow
1 UP U arrow
1 DOWN D arrow
1 SW 1 L-ctrl
1 SW 2 L-alt
1 SW 3 space
1 SW 4 L-shift
1 SW 5 Z
1 SW 6 X
1 SW 7 C
1 SW 8 V
to remap the arrows to control ejuke (and any player that respond) write a autohotkey script with the code
Down::^!-
Up::^!+
Right::Media_Next
Left::Media_Prev
Cheers, Yogui.

Again 2
Pressed post and then realized the code is wrong.
Should be:
Down::^+{-}
Up::^+{+}
Right::Media_Next
Left::Media_Prev
It will need testing anyway.
cheers,
PD: I better go sleep :-)

I'm making progress.
I found a thread in the arcadecontrols forum on how to use an inexpensive USB joystick for input buttons.
http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=84548.0
I'm using a program called JoyToKey to turn joystick actions into keyboard keys.
http://www.oneswitch.org.uk/2/I/JoyToKey/JoyToKey.htm
I have two steps left:
- Fix an issue with <Ctrl>+N creating a popup instead of moving to the next song
- Solder wires to the joystick circuit board for the buttons.
I'll post instructions when I get it all working.

Keys
Can you send multimedia FF.
If the Software does not support Multimedia keys I think you can't do it, cause ejukebox won't always be in focus to trigger the action when receive
Control+N.
May be a winamp plug in...
Or give www.autohotkey.com. a try.
I havent play much with this, lately.
Cheers,
