Keyboard events not working on VideoView

I can't get keyboard events to work with my wpf VideoView.
Example code:
XAML:
<vlcwpf:VideoView x:Name="VlcPlayer" KeyDown="VlcPlayer_KeyDown"></vlcwpf:VideoView>
Code:

private void VlcPlayer_KeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
{
    Console.WriteLine("VlcPlayer_KeyDown: " + e.Key);
}

All events for my app fire fine, but as soon as I click the VideoView no events are triggered anymore. I even tried Focusable="False" but with no success.

Side note: Sorry for just opening issues, I would help to fix those if I had a clue where to start :/
