Hi, does anybody have luck to add move media key for QuickTime X player using command line in Mac OS X 10.6.2? I inputted "qtdefaults" in command line application, but instead of movie there is black frame like move media key is missed…Could you please advice something?
Hi Jody Akerly,
It is more suitable to use QuickTime Player 7.6.3 instead of older versions. You can do it easily by inserting the “Snow Leopard” cd on your optical device. But if you prefer using your current version, then you can use the following process. Check if your syntax is correct. As they are case sensitive, double check the input. Also try the following command “qtdefaults write MediaKeys category key”. Here, category & key are both case sensitive. So, check & double check before inputting. This should solve your problem.
Please try the following code
qtdefaults write Mediakeys category key
Above code please replace the word category and the working key. Category and the key are case sensitive. Therefore be careful when replacing the category and the key.After doing this , type following code in the command line to check the Media Keys actually are there.
qtdefaults read category
For example : if your category SoftVideo and your key is 123456, you would enter as shown below.
qtdefaults write Mediakeys SoftVideo 123456
Try this and let me know.
