Update for Songbird 1.10: Apple Keyboard Media Key Support

Apple Keyboard Media Key Support is a must have Songbird add-on if you use Songbird on a mac. With the recent Songbird update (1.10) it is no longer compatible and cannot be installed. I decided to update the compatibility in the install (xpi) and see if still works. Guess what? It does.

So, until Nick uploads the official version to the add-on site I am uploading an updated version here. I have emailed Nick so he can upload this to the official site. Note that I have updated the version to 1.4.1 (from 1.4.0) so Songbird will let you install it.

To install:

Download the xpi file.
Go to Tools > Add-ons…
Click “Install” on the dialog box that pops up and select the file that you downloaded in the first step.

If you are using Songbird then another good mod to do is my Play Button iTunes Patch that prevents iTunes from starting up when you press the play button.

It works fine but you'll need to use the play button itunes patch for complete satisfaction (with only the extension installed itunes launched — and Songbird paused in the same time). Thank you for your work !

I am glad that this helped. Have fun!

Thanks for sharing

Thanks for doing this chum, your pedigree speaks of its own heritage as this extension is just what was ordered for the caged bird to fly. What ho, huah huah :)

Anyone also has a woking update for Apple Remote Add-on?

I don't use the remote extension much, but you could probably try doing the same thing (i.e. incrementing the version) and seeing if that works.
