Wow.  Thanks to this I can use my ATI remote with foobar 0.9.x!  Few minor issue though.  The ATI Remote Wonder has a plugin for controlling winamp, I am using a modified version that allows you to control it even when it's minimized.  The remote functions with foobar using this, however the play button on the remote just gives a Unsupported WM_USER error.  The pause button functions as Play/Pause.  Also seeking track doesn't not, same error, differen number at the end.  I can confirm these button function as they should with winamp.  Even if this is not resolved I'd like to say thank you for allowing to finally switch to the new foobar.

R1CH, I was wondering if it could be possible to also return dynamic info in the string. Things like %playback_time% and the playlist index\length.

I have media buttons on my laptop keyboard that only work with the winamp API, however they will not work  with this plugin. When I used foobar 0.83, the plugin worked correctly, but now only the prev/skip buttons work and only when the foobar window is in focus.

Try binding the buttons to functions in the 'Keyboard Shortcuts' section of preferences. Works well with my lappy media buttons!

FWIW tested on the following system:
- Windows XP Home SP2 up to date
- foobar2000 0.9.0.0
- the modified version of HControl (http://power4gear.bk-kicks.com/forum/index.php?topic=7.msg44#msg44)
All seems to run smoothly, the four hardware buttons (previous, next, stop, play/pause) act as expected.
