If your Logitech keyboard media keys are not working, it is probably because Logitech's Setpoint software does not support your media player.
I have an MK300 MK520R keyboard and when I press the volume up/down, mute and pause keys, all is well.
However, when I press the prev/next keys, nothing happens.
Here is a solution that works with my keyboard and Setpoint
- Find the file players.ini
(in my case, it is in: C:\Program Files\Logitech\SetPointP)
- Open it with an editor and add the 2 lines I've highlighted
(please note that due to line-wrap, things look a little messy.
I have used <CRLF> in places where the line needs to break.
Any line breaks anywhere else are actually just word-wraps)
#List of supported players<CRLF>
#{btn|key|msg|emg|cmd|wac},exeName, wndClass,wndCaption,xxx,play_delayplay,pause,stop,prev,next,remove_flags,ShowOSD,menu_item<CRLF>
#special char --> ^ ctrl;+ shift+ctrl; $ ctrl (no translation); * alt (no translation); @ ctrl+alt (no tanslation); & (no translation) <CRLF>
<CRLF>
[Players]<CRLF>
AIMP3=cmd,AIMP3.exe,Winamp v1.x,xxx,xxx,40045,40046,40047,40044,40048,0,1,WinAmp 5<CRLF>
AIMP2=cmd,AIMP2.exe,Winamp v1.x,xxx,xxx,40045,40046,40047,40044,40048,0,1,WinAmp 5<CRLF>
MusicMatch7=wac,MMJB.EXE,MMJB:MAINWND,xxx,xxx,xxx,xxx,xxx,xxx,xxx,0,1,MusicMatch<CRLF>

Modified to suit Google Play Music
In the players.ini file, add the following to the corresponding sections
[Players]
GooglePlayMusic=key,chrome.exe,Chrome_WidgetWin_1,xxx,xxx,&0xB3,&0xB3,&0xB2,&0xB1,&0xB0,0,1,Google Play Music
[Players.Run]
GooglePlayMusic=path,%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Web Applications\_crx_icppfcnhkcmnfdhfhphakoifcfokfdhg\Google Play Music.ico
Players.Display]
GooglePlayMusic=Google Play Music
You then need to kill the SetPoint process and re-start it, for the changes to take effect.

Remember to restart Setpoint after you made your changes to the INI file.
