Disable Hotkeys in VLC

[Belini]

I found this UDF https://www.autoitscript.com/forum/topic/114143-vlc-media-player-udf/ and I want to use VLC in a project of mine but I need to disable all VLC hotkeys so that it only receives commands I send through the UDF, does anyone know how to disable VLC hotkeys?

Why not intercept all these hotkeys in your shell script?

There are a lot of keys and many of them are used in my program too, so I need to disable them all in VLC.

Unset the hotkeys in the ini-file (be sure to make a backup first ).

#include <array.au3>

$s_File_vlcrc = @AppDataDir & "\vlc\vlcrc"
FileCopy(@AppDataDir & "\vlc\vlcrc", @AppDataDir & "\vlc\vlcrc_BACKUP", 0)

Global $s_New_File

$h_File = FileOpen($s_File_vlcrc)
While 1
    $s_Line = FileReadLine($h_File)
    If @error Then ExitLoop

    If StringLeft($s_Line, 13) = "# global-key-" or StringLeft($s_Line, 12) = "#global-key-" Or StringLeft($s_Line, 11) = "global-key-" Or _
        StringLeft($s_Line, 6) = "# key-" Or StringLeft($s_Line, 5) = "#key-" Or StringLeft($s_Line, 4) = "key-" Then
        #global-key-quit=
        #key-

        ConsoleWrite($s_Line & @CRLF)
        $s_Line = StringLeft($s_Line, StringInStr($s_Line, "="))

        If StringLeft($s_Line, 1) = "#" Then $s_Line = StringTrimLeft($s_Line, 1)

        ConsoleWrite($s_Line & @CRLF & @CRLF)

    EndIf

    $s_New_File &= $s_Line & @lf

WEnd
FileClose($h_File)


$h_File = FileOpen($s_File_vlcrc, 2) ; OVERWRITE
FileWrite($s_File_vlcrc, $s_New_File)
FileClose($h_File)
