Integrate Clementine with Setpoint for Logitech Keyboards

I have recently purchased the Logitech K800 Wireless Keyboard. This keyboard has media buttons and uses a program called Logitech Setpoint to assign the keys. Unfortunately, setpoint does not recognize Clementine as a media player therefore I can not get the media buttons to work. I was hoping there was a way to get Clementine to be noticed as a media player in Setpoint. I did find this topic stating how to add programs to setpoint but I have no idea how to add Clementine: http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=30246

Figured it out on my own. It seems as if it really is a Logitech problem and not a Clementine problem since in C:\Program Files\Logitech\SetPointP\players.ini they have access points for all kinds of media players but not Clementine (rightfully so since not too many people use it on Windows).

I used the forum Logitech MediaPlay mouse and foobar2000 - Hydrogenaudio Forums as guidance.

First, under [Players]:
[Players]
Clementine=key,clementine.exe,CLEMENTINE_CLASS,xxx,xxx,C,X,Z,B,V,0,0,Clementine
Then under [Players.Run]:
[Players.Run]
Clementine=path,C:\Program Files (x86)\Clementine
Lastly under [Players.Display]
[Players.Display]
Clementine=Clementine
Restart Setpoint and Voila! Your program should show up. I'm sure any program can be added just by replacing Clementine with the program name and under {Players.Run], link to the path of the exe file.

Just ignore this.

Thank you so much! This was keeping Clementine from being my favorite media player. Now there's no contest.

For future readers, it's worth noting that I had to reboot my machine for this to start working. I probably just didn't restart the correct process but at any rate it was all working fine after rebooting.

Also, I recommend launching your text editor in Administrator mode so that you can actually save the file when you're done (otherwise Notepad++ complains that other processes are using the file). I ended up saving the file to desktop and then replacing the file through Windows, but I think running Notepad++ as Administrator would've worked too.
