Feature request: Global media key support

Open SA-Flipperwaldt opened this issue 4 months ago • 4 comments

I would consider it convenient if it was possible to scroll through the alphabetical list of channels with the previous and next keys you find on many keyboards (and HID emulating remote controls). Preferably even if the focus (like the cursor) is somewhere else than the list. Even better if it also works when the app is in the background.

Play/pause could start/stop processing maybe. That doesn't matter as much as you can already just mute.

I'm on the Windows version 3.3.0 if that matters. Thanks for reading.

I have actually this feature in my TODO list because another user asked for that long time ago. The problem is that there is not multiplatform solution available and it would need to be implemented using platform specific API. Meawhile you should be able to go through service list by up/down arrows when it has focus.

Ah, apologies, I searched but did not come across that. I'll sleep peacefully knowing it is on the list then, thanks.

No need to apologize, it is not recorded here, it is in my private list 😉

I admit, it was originally my idea. But there is one complication. Each station remembers the last channel used. And it may not always have a signal. So, for example, ČRo Plus will try to play from 12D, but since it currently only has a signal on 12C, there will be silence.
