Title: Play, Stop and so forth not working with my keyboard
Post by: 3rik on February 28, 2011, 12:08:25 pm

Hi,

I have a Logitech G19 keyboard which has play/pause, stop, next and previous keys. Working fine on MC15, but not with MC16 Beta.

Hope you'll integer this in a next release :)

What OS and SetPoint version? My Logitech keyboard works fine it isn't a G19 but they all use the same software so model should not matter.
Here is what I am using
MC 16.0.39, Win 7 x64 Premium, Setpoint: Control Center version 6.00.84, Driver version 4.90.80

For what its worth, I've not figured out what causes the issues, but every once in a while I notice that MC no longer receives logitech keyboard media key presses.  Rebooting always fixes it, and sometimes just restarting MC does.  My hunch is that something else it taking hold of the events, and isn't properly disengaging when it quits.  I don't know much about keyboard event handling in Windows, so can't really comment more.

No setpoint in use here.  MC16 is working fine currently, and I've not noticed these issues in a long time, and never on Win 7 (yet?).

Similar issue...  Just installed 16 last night... when I am in display mode... It is hit or miss whether I can hover over the media center panel location and regain control over the playback.   If I can get the program to appear.. it works fine...   basically... it just takes a bit....    (Its a very old... low power PC as well)
