This should be done even if there is no prospect of the problem being fixed in the near or intermediate future.On the other hand, during the five years that I have been using MP, I have noticed numerous small bugs and things that don't work quite right, but I have not logged any of them. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite9" alt=":eek:" title="Eek!    :eek:" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":eek:" /> <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite16" alt=":cry:" title="Crying    :cry:" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":cry:" />As regards the behaviour that you have found, there is still a possibility that it occurs because you are not using the correct combination of settings. Unfortunately, neither you nor I know what the correct combination of settings might be. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite3" alt=":(" title="Frown    :(" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":(" />The HID support seems to work correctly for most people, but that does not mean that it works correctly for everyone. For example, HTPC cases with built-in IR receivers often seem to cause problems, probably because they operate in some non-standard way, or require the use of non-standard software. The Ortek/Hama remote control also requires special processing (which is provided by the MP support for the "Centarea HID", and not by the general HID support).One can waste a considerable amount of one's life trying different combinations of software and different settings in order to get something to work properly. I am pleased that you have found a combination that works in your system, without spending weeks doing so. It is a combination that would not have occurred to me, so well done for discovering this solution. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /> <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite24" alt="(y)" title="Thumbs Up    (y)" loading="lazy" data-shortname="(y)" />-- from CyberSimian in the UK</blockquote>
