Care to make an option in preferences which would turn off such behavior, please? It drives me crazy.
iTunes very often becomes the "foreground" app even if the other app that has a behavior is still running. And sometimes it stays in the background, but reacts on the play button press only once, but not the second time. So it starts playing when I press play in, lets say, Plex, but when I press play button again Plex stops, but iTunes continues to play. So I have to either quit iTunes from the remote using the RB menu, or walk to my computer, turn on monitor, and stop iTunes playback using mouse. I've already woken up my wife like that on several occasions.
I don't know why this happens and honestly don't have time to do debugging, because it's not my job. All I know is that it started doing that after one of the latest RB or iTunes updates. It wasn't like that, say, 2 months ago.
So, please, add an option to exclude iTunes from acting as a default behavior.
- OS X 10.6.4
- RemoteBuddy 1.16.5
- Keyspan Front Row Control
Background is this: most users don't want to have to make iTunes (or
DVD Player, EyeTV, ..) the active application first before they can
control it with the remote, even though no other controllable
application is currently running.
