I have a Logitech diNovo keyboard which includes media buttons for play/pause, stop, next, previous. I would like to let those buttons control Spotify. I've tried to add Spotify to the players.ini file as described here, but I still cannot control Spotify – focused or not. Spotify does not show up the "Select Media Player" dropdown box in the SetPoint application:
Does anyone have Spotify properly configured for Logitech/SetPoint?
I'm running Windows 7 and SetPoint 4.80.103

The problem here is simple:
The SetPoint software provided by Logitech swallows all media-key-presses, and only pass them on to "verified" programs.
The solution is less simple:
1. Navigate to
C:\ProgramData\Logishrd\SetPointP\Devices\Keyboard
2. Browse the subfolders until you find an XML containing the name of your keyboard (it will say something like
DisplayName="Media Keyboard Elite"
)3. Search for and comment out any
<Button>
entries that referenceHandlerSet="MM ..."
(there will also be comments for each entry with a description like<!-- Button Name => PLAY -->
)4. Restart SetPoint
This will keep SetPoint from swallowing the media-key-presses, leaving Windows to handle them as normal "multimedia keys".
