I actually have my video player set to VLC in the defaults, so if it would launch the default video player instead of music player, I (sh)would have been VLC, not totem. > > > If it works, that could mean that your "launch media player" key is > associated to the default video player application from your system, so > I'm afraid you will have to manually edit the keycode to instruct your > key to launch the audio player instead.
