I have a keyboard which has a skip forward/backward pause/play volume up/down and stop button and all those things on it, but it only works on realplayer when realplayer is selected, which makes it hard to switch songs when I'm the middle of play, so please, while I'm sleeping, tell me if this is possible and how.

Use VLC, ♥♥♥.

Don't speak like that or you will find your self off the mod team.

Check for key bored drivers and there settings

Would it be under processes, or what? This computer had SOOOO much useless crap on it when I got it, I deleted a lot, but everything on the keyboard seems to still work, by the way, I use realplayer, and realplayer responds to the keyboard, but only when it's the active window. *looks for drivers* I'll keep looking, hope for replies soon.

But seriously, this is one of the best media players I've come across for just simple stuff. It can't stream out for ♥♥♥♥, but stream in is easy. http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ I don't know about it being in the background and crap, as I don't have the buttons.

Well, I'd try to see if it's the system or the app by trying another program, for now. If it is Realplayer's fault, then perhaps there's a setting in there somewhere.

1. VLC doesn't stream off of my iPod.
2. I have VLC
3. This keyboard doesn't pick up VLC.

Keyboard's fault, not the software's.

It works on WMP when not selected for me.
