Did a quick search, and it seems the mouse wheel cannot be disabled. This cause problems with video, especially with live TV where MC is not entirely stable. Please add an option to disable it, or even configure it (volume control would be nice).

Indeed I had to switch mice in order to watch Video with MC18, because the previous mouse I was using, had a touch area instead of a wheel, and I would brush against it and the video would jump ahead or back (obviously not acceptable!).
The replacement mouse has a wheel which is stiff enough not to turn without intentional action.
BUT, one could watch MC18 with only a mouse IF there was a little more mouse support in Video, namely:
* Configuration of the mouse wheel action
* Left-click pauses - as MPC-HC does (and I think one other player). The logic is simply " If Full Screen And Control Area is Not Displayed, Then Left-Click Equals Pause. "
The reason you don't need a remote control is that 99% of the time, the only things you need to do are:
* Select Video
* Start Video
* Pause Video when phone or doorbell rings
All of which are easily done with a wireless mouse.
While a remote control is helpful when later you want to go back and see what was that thing in the background of the second scene, most of the time one only does the above...

Mouse wheel changes the volume when mouse is pointed at the volume control. It skips forward/backward when it is at the progress bar. It zooms the video in and out when it is in the video screen. The latter is a little different from the behavior when playing video file. I am not sure if this is an oversight or by design.

It should only zoom when [Ctrl] or [Shift] is held down for video.

This point-and-wheel behaviour is difficult to remember and not practical for video/TV watching. It would be much better to be able to assign a single function for the wheel, or just disable it.

Configurable would be nice. I have it set to framestep back/forward in MPC-HC. I hate when the wheel is used to seek through video, and especially to control volume.
-
What is the status of this? Are we any further forward in configurable mouse wheel support?

Please please, this is very important to many of us.
