Global shortcuts stopped working #80

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Global shortcuts have stopped working unless I am focused on the
OpenPandora window.

They were working fine on 2009-05-29; today they are not.

Windows XP Pro SP3

Also the taskbar title never updates with the song title, it's stuck on 
"OpenPandora"

Menu Options which are also invokable through global shortcuts are greyed out 
and 
non functional, i.e. Play, Skip, I like it, I don't like it, Lyrics. These all 
worked last week as well.

Screenshot is attached.

It's working for me now, though I did two things and I don't know which fixed 
it:

1) Repaired the .NET Framework 3.5 SP1

2) Updated to OpenPandora 0.7.0.2

not working for me. Vista x64, OpenPandora 0.7.0.6

I just installed 0.7.0.6 for the first time, and the play/skip/like links in the
context menu do not work -- however, they are not greyed out.  Win XP 
Professional, SP2.

I have the following versions of .Net installed:

.NET CLR 1.1.4322;
.NET CLR 2.0.50727;
.NET CLR 3.0.04506.30;
.NET CLR 3.0.04506.648;
.NET CLR 3.0.4506.2152;
.NET CLR 3.5.30729;

Same problem as cha4les, except I have been running OP for over a month now 
(0.7.0.6), 
and they just stopped working all of a sudden.  Win XP Pro, SP2.

I've been running open pandora for several months, and on both my office & home
machine, the global keyboard shortcuts as well as the keyboard media controls 
have
stopped working a few weeks ago, out of nowhere.

Both machines running win7 x64

Ditto..

Global shortcuts, title bar player controls ( via right click ) and Media Keys 
have
stopped working.

However, Global Shortcuts and Media Keys DO still work when I interact with the 
Flash
object inside the Open Pandora window. I achieve this by clicking any blank 
part of
the Pandora Flash interface - like the white area between 'Your Profile' and 
'Create
a New Station'.

Once I do this, Global Shortcuts and Media Keys work as they should. But if I 
change
focus to another window, all functions stop working again.

The OS environment had not been changed prior to the problems I have described 
above:

XP Pro SP 3
IE 7.0.5x
Flash 10.0.42.34 
Open Pandora 0.7.0.6 

I tried reinstalling .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 and Flash 10, no luck.

From what I can tell, the main Pandora SWF ( tuner_8_9_0_0_pandora.swf ) has 
been
around since late October. But, maybe I was just running a previous version 
from my
Flash cache and it finally reloaded.

I suppose it also helps to mention that I am a Pandora One customer, perhaps we 
get a
slightly different interface that is breaking things. Anyone else here a 
Pandora One
user?

Oh and BTW - thanks to the Open Pandora team for making such a great app - it 
is way
better than the Pandora One widget. Keep up the good work!

Running 0.7.0.6 for a while now and neither global shortcuts nor context menu 
items 
work as of a couple days ago.

This seems to be a very common issue as on all my computers global shortcuts and
media keys stopped working. Please fix!

I have fixed this locally, but since I am not the owner of this project I can't
change it.  Don't know what changed recently, but what I have found is that the
pandora object is sending the keystrokes to the wrong window handle.  I got it
working by sending it to the window with the class of "Internet Explorer_Server"
instead of the "MacromediaFlashPlayerActiveX" window.

Doc.drenden, where int eh code did you make that change?

Original comment by Jason.Gi...@gmail.com on 8 Jan 2010 at 8:54

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
In Pandora.LocateRadio()

What I found to work is setting hwndPandora to hInternetExplorerServer at the 
end of
the method.  I had to make some other changes because Pandora.cs was throwing 
Thread
concurrency exceptions.  Though I don't know if this is just because I was 
debugging
it in visual studio or not.  It isn't perfect.  It seems that after starting up 
OP I
have to focus the window and send it a keystroke manually (space is pause), 
then the
context menu starts to work.  This is fine for me because I leave the program 
open
indefinitely.

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
I can confirm doc.drenden's method.  I made the same change, and they all 
started 
working, although I had to do a manual keystroke with the window in focus to 
get them 
started.

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
can you guys post a patch? thank you.

Original comment by slav....@gmail.com on 8 Jan 2010 at 10:07

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Try this Jason, to see if it will work without having to focus and send a 
keystroke
first.

After you reset the hwndPandora put these commands in

User32.SendMessage(hwndPandora, WindowsMessageCode.WM_LBUTTONDOWN, 0, ((60 << 
16) |
(60 & 0xffff)));
User32.SendMessage(hwndPandora, WindowsMessageCode.WM_LBUTTONUP, 0, 0);

I know it is a hack, but it appears you just have to give the window focus, and 
I
couldn't seem to do that with window functions, so I just simulate a mouseclick 
on
the window.  Works for me, but I am not sure if it is because of this change
specifically or because of something else I changed.

Original comment by doc.dren...@gmail.com on 8 Jan 2010 at 11:40

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Yes, that works.  I no longer need to do a button press with the window focused 
at 
startup.  Sorry for the long delay, but I was tinkering with it at work, and 
didn't 
come in over the weekend.

I was hoping it would get officially fixed, but I guess not.  Here is my 
version of the 
modified files.  Drop these over the top of you existing installation (had to 
rebuild 
some of the DLLs).  I make no promises that these will work for anyone other 
than me, 
so if they don't, don't bother complaining to me because I won't be fixing them.

Works for me:

XP Pro SP3; .NET 3.5.30729.196; IE 6; FlashPlayer 10,0,42,34 

For the folks having problems, remember, the patched files will not work on 
their own
( even though the exe will launch and partially load ). The files for the patch 
still
require the other un-patched files in your OpenPandora install directory.

So, in an effort to avoid a 'still broken' flood, please read this before you 
post:

   1. Exit OpenPandora if it is running
   2. Back up your original OpenPandora directory!
   3. Drop Jason's 'patched' files over the top of your original installation and
REPLACE all existing files
   4. Open and test, it should work as expected now
   5. If not, try resetting the Multimedia Keyboard and Global Shortcuts settings to:
 off -> apply and then on -> save
   6. Did it work? Still no luck? Let the good folks here know a bit about your
environment: OS, .NET, IE, Flash

Thanks Doc, Jason and others for taking the time to provide us non-programmers 
with a
potential solution!

It didn't work for me at first, but after I clicked inside the flash gui, like 
someone 
said earlier, it started to work.

I appreciate the help. It doesn't work for me but I know why. It is because I 
am on a
64-bit OS. The only version of Pandora that works on my x64 is 0.7.0.2 > 
anything
newer and it will start and quit very quickly.

Anyways, I am using the latest version of Flash, IE, .Net and FF 3.6 on x64 Win7
Ultimate.

It has always worked when you clicked inside the GUI. The whole point is to fix 
when
you have other windows on top.

lol, sorry if I wasn't clear. I mean, the keyboard shortcuts are fully 
functional again 
after clicking in the gui, then going elsewhere. So, I click inside the gui 
after it 
starts up, then minimize it to the tray, and then use the keyboard shortcuts as 
needed.

anything special?

@cnico88 I think maybe installing Flash 10.1 beta fixed it for me. I'm not 100% 
sure 
though... the last time I tried .6 was over a month ago, and I used .2 until 
the 
hotkeys broke. I've only had 10.1 beta installed for a week or 2.

So, something else could have changed that fixed it, but my best guess is the 
10.1 
beta.

@ chris.silva21 there is something about .6 that doesn't play nice with my Win 7
pc's. It worked just dandy in Vista. I've tried running it on my x64 and x86 
both
with Flash beta 10.1 with no luck.

@ Jason.Giers if you would be so kind to recompile your code using .2 
OpenPandora it
would be much appreciated.

I'd like to personally thank Doc, Jason, Pascuc for their selfless help with 
this
very annoying issue. Their resolution and instructions totally helped. I'm 
running
the latest version 0.7.0.6 on Win 7 x64 and was having a real problem with the 
lack
of right-click menu usability. Their aid is greatly appreciated! Thanks again.
