Option for hotkey translation not totally working
« on: November 30, 2018, 06:48:34 am »

[MC for Windows 24.0.55]

Hello there,
I really enjoy the new option about [not] "translat[ing] hot keys when running as Media Server": this allows me (at end...) to have MC running in background as media server, and to have the Qobuz player running (as desktop app), and I am able to start/stop music on Qobuz with the dedicated keyboard  keys.

However, as soon a I launch MC as desktop app (after having stopped Qobuz), MC is no longer able to catch the hotkeys. Things sometimes (but not always) return to normal if I kill the Media Server, but this is nevertheless disturbing.

Both apps (Qobuz and Media Center) run well if there is no Media Server running.

Any chance to get this fixed in a near future?

Thanks in advance.
CM.

P.-S. I had posted a similar text a few weeks ago, but got no response. Maybe I had not enough stressed the fact that this looks like a bug.

First step would be to try 24.0.65 as it's the latest version . . .

Do you mean the media keys?  Play, pause, next and last track?  You can change their behavior in MC's options.  The options page has a search window.

Since I got no answer when I raised the case some weeks ago, I do not really expect the bug to be fixed... Will have a try tonight, just in case.

Yes I mean these keys, and yes I have already changed the behaviour, and yes it has somehow improved the behaviour in regard to previous versions (earlier, media keys never worked with Qobuz), but only somehow.
The feature still does not always work, hence my bug notification.
