Post subject:  [solved] problems

Hello, I meet some problems

- media buttons do not work with JRiver Media 21.0.90. My keyboard media control buttons are working well with JRiver Media.
- alarm message in digital mode is unreadable - see capture

The Media Buttons only support WinAmp and Windows Media Player.

Well, difficult to read, sure, unreadable, no. But that's the problem with LCD fonts, at smaller sizes they are difficult to read - using a non-LCD font would break the illusion that you are looking at an LCD Panel.

I'll look into this to see what can be done to improve readability (if anything) but until then you can either set the Alarm to appear full screen in LCD mode, or you can use a non-LCD mode.

OK, thanks for quick answer. The digital alarm is cool :-) and I will manage it. Too bad for the media buttons (I'm a little surprised they cannot be "generic").

Those were implemented YEARS ago, back when keyboards did not have MM keys.

I haven't revisited that code since then, so maybe there's now some standard... I'll look into that as well. :)

There are. Check this:

and this:

I had somewhere a more full table that I used on a Teensy project, where I wrote some code to interface a classic Mac Plus keyboard to USB, but can't find it right now. Let me know if you need it.
