I recently purchased an RF remote for the stop button, my previous RF remote wouldn't stop playing a song if I pressed play again to pause it, but the new remote's stop button didn't stop the music as well.... So I had to learn how to edit the XBindkeys file, here are the commands I used, I also corrected the labels as most of them said something like "# volume down" ill also post a link to the specific remote but my old remote works now as well.... (the play/pause command was set to "mpc play" instead of "mpc toggle")
I set the regular volume key to increase by 1 and the up/down arrows to do 5
the right and left arrows will seek by .01 seconds this can cause issues unless you pause the track or youll need to do it in small incriments (press the buttone for 1-2 seconds at most)
The only command I need and cant get to work is the mute, im not sure why its not working. If anyone can tell me why the mute doesnt work that would help a lot!
