My keyboard shortcuts that use the "program" command (i.e. mc25.exe) no longer work.  They used to work fine in MC24.

Example entries from my Resource.xml below:

So this entry works fine (to switch zone):

<Entry Key="Ctrl;Alt;2" Command="10011" Param="0" Global="1" />

But this one doesn't - no error is reported, it just doesn't load & play the playlist:

<Entry Key="Ctrl;Alt;1" Type="Program" Command="mc25.exe" Param="/PlayReplace TREEPATH=Playlists\BBC Radio 6|Zone=2" Global="1" />

It works fine from the windows command line - i.e.:

Code: [Select]

mc25.exe /PlayReplace "TREEPATH=Playlists\BBC Radio 6|Zone=2 Global=1"

I've just bought a new intel NUC and done a fresh 64 bit install of MC25 so I don't think it's related to the upgrade (although I did restore my library & settings from my old PC)

Any ideas ?  Log below :

Bump.

It gets weirder....

I updated the PC to the latest Windows 10 version (19 03) and latest MC (25.108) and now these mc25.exe keyboard shortcuts work but only once and only immediately after rebooting windows & restarting MC.

Thereafter they resolutely refuse to do anything.  It's as if windows is only allowing one mc25.exe process to start ?

I've no anti-virus software installed other than Windows Defender and I believe I've "tamed" this as per the wiki article.

Help!

This is a tricky one!

It's because of this handling we added recently:
      if (JRKeyboard::GetKeyPressed(VK_SHIFT))
      {
         aryFiles.Filter(_T("[Media Type]=[Audio]"));
      }
      else if (JRKeyboard::GetKeyPressed(VK_CONTROL))
      {
         aryFiles.Filter(_T("[Media Type]=[Image]"));
      }

It was this change in the history:
NEW: When executing command line commands, if the shift key is pressed it will only act on audio and it will only work on images if control is pressed.  This way holding that key down while choosing a Windows Explorer shell extension command will only operate on a certain media type.

We're filtering the list to be only images because CONTROL is down.

Let us think for a bit.

[Matt]

I'm just going to stop the keyboard handling if a treepath is specified.  It's possible we'll have to make other tweaks, but I liked the original change so we'll try to stick with it for a bit.

Thanks Matt - glad it's not something specific with my set up!  Look forward to the fix...

This might or might not be related but jrmc seems to stop responding to my pressing the green button on my remote after it has been running for a while.

I can confirm the issue is fixed in 25.0.113 release.  Great support!  Thanks guys.
