Help with Itunes Next/Fast Forward Button

[reyrios]

Hello all,

I have enhanced the Itunes Prfile, but I cannot get the follwoing behavior:

In iTunes, you can click on the next button (>>) (1) once and skip to the next song or (2) you can click and hold down to fast forward the song. I can not get number 2 working.

I have tried to do these but no luck. What am I missing? I am running Windows XP and Media Basic.

Down - Only performs the Action on the initial press of the button.
DownRepeat - Performs the Action on the initial press and repeats the action over and over while the button is held down.
Repeat - Only performs the Action after the button has been held down.
Up - Only performs the Action when the button is let go.

Here is the profile:

You need to use a specialkeyaction like this similar to the pinball profile:

<Actions Button="FastForward" Description="Fast Forward">
<SpecialKeyAction Type = "Down" ActivationState = "Down" Key = "right" />
<SpecialKeyAction Type = "Up" ActivationState = "Up" Key = "right" />
</Actions>

This fakes a keydown with the right arrow key when you press the fast forward button and fakes a key up with the right arrow key when you release the fast forward button. Notice that the 'key' values are dfferent with the specialkeyaction as compared to the regular keyaction.
