JoyToKey with eJukebox
« on: December 29, 2008, 03:43:02 pm »
I use eJukebox on my juke with great results.  eJukebox does everything I need.  The only thing my setup is missing is a couple of "hard keys."  I want volume and skip song buttons, both on the jukebox, and behind the bar.

Here are pics of my jukebox - http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=83437.0

I've started on a USB joystick hack.  I'm using a program called JoyToKey to send keyboard keys in response to joystick movements.  I mapped joystick up to "+" to adjust the volume up.  I mapped joystick down to "-" to adjust the volume down.  So far, so good.  I mapped joystick right to "<Ctrl>+N" but it doesn't skip to the next song.  Instead, it opens an Internet Explorer window.  Depending on what I've been doing lately on the jukebox, different things display.

It sometimes displays the current song:


It sometimes displays the queue:


It sometimes displays search results:


Anyone seen anything like this?  Any ideas?

Thanks,
Burke

Sounds like there is an embedded IE on the app that has focus when you send the keypress.

I am guessing that clicking outside the area that shows what is popping up would allow the ctrl-n to work properly, but no idea about automating that with what you have got.
