Re: Controlling media player from bluetooth headset?

I'd start by reading up in MSDN regarding how telephony and headset devices

It would probably be better to interface with the
player directly as you're likely to have different streams going to the PC
speaker and the headset.

I have already made a program that controls the media player and real player using global hotkeys. It is quite easy and does nothing but send keypress commands to the players.

The tricky part is handling the bluetooth signal as you correctly state. I installed a serial port sniffer, hoping that I would be able to pick something up, but the bluetooth serial port seems to be dead. I had an idea that signals from the headset would pass thru the bt serial port but I guess I was wrong.

I will look in the MSDN as you suggest :)
