Detecting when Music Playlist is stopped (Ctrl-S)

[ACTCMS]

sub - I'd like to know when a Music Playlist is stopped by the user (Ctrl-S) while I'm inactive and don't see OnKeyDown events.

Is there any chance you could raise a Notify event as well? Or maybe add an arg to PLAYBACK_STOPPED to indicate if Crtl-S was pressed or the playlist came to a natural end?

I'm not able to do that because that part of the framework had no visibility of what t riggered stop to be called, but I was able to add a new "PLAYBACK_AUDIO_STOPPING_VIA_REQUESTED_STOP" elsewhere in the app (in the part that handles music key presses).

If it's raised only for Ctrl-S (and not Ctrl-Left or Ctrl-Right) that will be perfect - I've got another way to tell if a Playlist comes to a natural end.

Thanks.

It wont be raised with Ctrl-Left/Right. It'll only be raised if they explicitly press 'Stop' key on keyboard/remote.

Sub, can this be applied to right-click menu Stop too? This is the hardest state for me to trap since there are no events exposed that I could find.

Also ACTCMS, if you do intercept this Notify event could you please process this in a new thread (preferred) or do minimal processing when you get it, especially if the screen saver is not active. You have some leeway when playing of music is started, but the impact is great here.

Don't worry Martin, all I'll be doing is re-setting a switch

Ok, I've added this too.
