Re: Same here.

It is somewhat easier.

You can have Foobar react the way YOU want it to when certain buttons are pressed.

Go to preferences and hotkeys and create a new one.

YOu will have to pick an operation like mute, or volume up, etc.

Once you do this, there should be a blank space where one would normally type in a key or sequence of keys. All you do is press the button on the remote, and it should put some input into this box. NOw when that button is pressed, Foobar will do what ever you told it to do when that button is pressed.

There is also a check box to make a hot key global. If checked, it means that Foobar will do the activity when that button is pressed, whether it is an active window or not. All the hot keys I have done needed to be global.

Note that this only works if the remote you have creates codes that mimic keystrokes. The USB remotes I have used all had buttons that did this, but some would do other commands that were not keystrokes, so those buttons wouldn't work.
