Button handling when the player app isn't running

When i (q)uit the player app and start my own app from the bash the hijack screen and button handling doesn't work any longer.

I'm now using mmap to access the screen but i don't know how i can get button events because EMPEG_HIJACK_BINDBUTTONS doesn't work.

The "Hijack" stuff is called "Hijack" because it works by "hijacking" the player's screen and button paths. When the player is not running, some "Hijack" features also stop working.

That's probably one of them.

Cheers

I understand that and the intention of my post was not to say Hijack doesn't work, i just would like to know how i can capture button events without hijack.
