Same problem, on the same OS and same product version. I hope this gets fixed soon.

From mrsergey...@gmail.com on June 04, 2012 07:06:31

The same problem:
kernel:
3.0.0-15-generic #26-Ubuntu SMP x86_64 GNU/Linux
OS release:
DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=12.04
DISTRIB_CODENAME=precise
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 12.04 LTS"

Qt version 4.8.1

Clementine version 1.0.1

From Diego.Ko...@gmail.com on June 11, 2012 10:06:54

Gnome's shortcuts keys work for me however if configured so in Clementine. I could get by with that setting but I like to be able to rate songs with a WIN+digit shortcut and it is not possible to set up in Gnome.

From denis.kot on June 12, 2012 09:39:18

Have same problem. Kubuntu 12.04, Clementine 1.0.1

From cousinm...@gmail.com on June 12, 2012 11:59:38

Same problem, Debian Wheezy 64 bits, clementine 1.0.1+dfsg-2.

I could, as a workaround, map some actions to win+a (i use it as play pause for now), etc… where they are working.

From s.s.rub...@gmail.com on June 30, 2012 04:14:45

The same for me, Kubuntu 12.04, Clementine 1.0.1. Recognizes media keys while configuring shortcuts, but they don't work.

From bentkows...@gmail.com on July 02, 2012 10:20:50

Have the very same issue. Global keys music track forward/backward, play, stop do not work in Clementine 1.0.1, but work in Amarok.

Dell Inspiron 1525n, Linux Netrunner 4.2 (spin off from Kubuntu 12.04) with KDE 4.8 32-bit. Kernel 3.2.0-25-generic-pae

BTW. It's not a "Medium" priority ;-)

From kkin...@gmail.com on July 08, 2012 13:43:26

Any non Debian-based distros experiencing this? Maybe it's a Kubuntu/Debian problem.

From kkin...@gmail.com on July 08, 2012 13:50:52

Possible work-around. In KDE, go to System Settings -> Shortcuts and Gestures -> Custom Shortcuts.

In the Custom Shortcuts panel, create a new group for music. Create a new shortcut by right clicking on your new group and choosing New -> Global Shortcut -> Command/URL. In the Trigger tab, enter your key binding for play/pause. In the Actoin tab, type "clementine -t". And so on.

• "clementine -t" for pause/play.
• "clementine -s" for stop.
• "clementine -f" for next.
• "clementine -r" for previous.

It's not ideal, because if there are other apps that want to use the multimedia keys, it doesn't differentiate which app is running. But it gets the job done.

From rockhopp...@gmail.com on August 09, 2012 13:40:14

same on Mint Maya KDE,
where uname says
3.2.0-23-generic #36-Ubuntu SMP Tue Apr 10 20:39:51 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

and Clementine 1.0.1

as asked by kkin.. it was working on my Mandriva 2011 about two weeks ago, I will check out if it still does with latest updates and post the versions later

and, kkin.. thanks for the tip with the workaround, its working for me, as I was used to it! =) cheers!

From bentkows...@gmail.com on September 03, 2012 05:38:53

Thanks kkinder for your workaround - works :-)

Guys from Xubunutu Geek blog say it works okay in the developmental branch of Clementine. I've tested on 32-bit Netrunner 4.2 (Kubuntu 12.04 spin-off), Dell Inspiron 1525 and works for me. http://xubuntugeek.blogspot.com/2012/05/fix-multimedia-keys-clementine-and.html To install go start the terminal and run:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:me-davidsansome/clementine-dev -y
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install clementine

From jordigar...@gmail.com on September 05, 2012 12:41:07

Good! The solution of the Comment 12 works perfectly!

Thanks.

From SpinuVit on December 24, 2012 07:07:41

From Nikita.R...@gmail.com on January 02, 2013 09:27:24

1.1 version works on kubuntu 12.04, thanks!

Clementine 1.1.1 on Ubuntu 13.04 (dev) + KDE 4.10 seems still bugged, workaround from comment #12 works for me.

From g.rod2...@gmail.com on March 10, 2013 19:59:39

Very nice workaround Solution, worked prefect for me too.

I'm in Mint 14 with KDE 4.1, and Clementine oviouslly ;)

Kubuntu 13.04 with official build not work media play. Use this ppa:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:me-davidsansome/clementine-dev

From herv...@gmail.com on July 29, 2013 01:02:16

@ comment #12
Those shortcut commands work great in Xubuntu 13.04
(go Settings Manager > Keyboard > Application Shortcuts)

Thank you

From exh...@gmail.com on July 29, 2013 03:13:35

Comment #20 did it for me. The latest clementine version is working as expected!

From amiko...@gmail.com on November 21, 2013 17:52:32

On Debian Jessie KDE with Clementine 1.2 problem still exists. MM keyboards not working. I can set only normal shortcuts.
Checked and there is no conflict with KDE shortcuts settings.
Its really strange because in clementine settings i can use MMkey to set shortcut. It looks like there is no action assigned, but im sure it is.
