two small bugs (volume indicator and zoom)
Anzeigen

Dieser Beitrag ist älter als sechs Monate und kann veraltete Informationen enthalten.
Hi there. I've just purchased Remote Buddy and a PS3 remote and so far everything is working pretty well. However, i did notice two minor bugs that are somewhat annoying:

1. The volume indicator sound (the 'blip' noise) often plays multiple times. i.e., instead of pressing volume up and getting a 'blip' sound, i'll often get a 'blip-blip' or 'blip-blip-blip'. It's not every single time, but just about, and i've noticed it with both the PS3 remote and the (white) Apple Remote, so i don't think it's hardware. The volume does seem to change correctly, so that works at least, but the multiple blips are annoying and confusing (because i expect each blip to correspond with a step in volume).

2. The virtual mouse doesn't seem to handle the screen edges well when the screen's zoomed in. The normal behaviour of the mouse in zoom mode is for the focus of the screen to follow the cursor; the virtual mouse does this for the most part, but often the cursor will shoot off to the corner of the screen when it encounters a screen edge, rendering it useless until you disable screen zooming and move it back.

Is there a solution to either of these issues?

Thanks!

Thanks for asking.

Please find my replies below.

1. The volume indicator sound (the 'blip' noise) often plays multiple times. i.e., instead of pressing volume up and getting a 'blip' sound, i'll often get a 'blip-blip' or 'blip-blip-blip'. It's not every single time, but just about, and i've noticed it with both the PS3 remote and the (white) Apple Remote, so i don't think it's hardware. The volume does seem to change correctly, so that works at least, but the multiple blips are annoying and confusing (because i expect each blip to correspond with a step in volume).

 
The volume sound is played when the button on the remote is pressed - and played again when you release it. If you only press the button shortly, the sound will be played twice in quick succession. I'll see what can be done about this. If you want RB to not play the sound at all, you can change the respective option at RB Prefs > General.

2. The virtual mouse doesn't seem to handle the screen edges well when the screen's zoomed in. The normal behaviour of the mouse in zoom mode is for the focus of the screen to follow the cursor; the virtual mouse does this for the most part, but often the cursor will shoot off to the corner of the screen when it encounters a screen edge, rendering it useless until you disable screen zooming and move it back.

 
I'm afraid this is an issue in OS X' zooming functionality. Remote Buddy only moves the cursor (=> and uses the same API that f.ex. OS X Screen Sharing uses for this) while OS X is responsible for handling anything that is connected to this, like moving focus along when the screen is zoomed. You should definitely file a bugreport with Apple on this, so they know about it and have a chance to fix it.

Best regards,

Thanks, i didn't even notice the 'Advanced' button until you mentioned it. Disabling the sound is good enough for me.

I see, i may do that — although i foresee them asking me to reproduce in other applications. You're saying i should be able to replicate this bug if, for example, i turn on OS X's VNC server and then connect from any standard VNC client, correct?

Before you go to Apple, just check that the Mac does not think it has two screens. I have had these sort of symptoms in the past and checking System Preferences>Displays showed there was a phantom screen onto which the mouse pointer was moving.

Absolutely.
