Running video function locks keyboard out?

Ask a generic question about the usage of QLC+, not related to a particular operating system

For some reason i didn't see the video function already in QLC+- that got by me completely, all i was hoping for was something to play basic video, no fancy functions needed, and that's exactly what this is, thanks for putting it in.

I'm not sure if this is a bug or if i maybe don't have something set right. i assigned 2 buttons to 2 different videos, and made a keyboard shortcut for each. When i start operate mode, i can click one of them to start video, and click it again to stop it, just like it should. But if i use the keyboard keys, i once i start one of the videos, they keyboard won't trigger any more functions (video- lighting, haze etc) until i click that video's button with the mouse to disable it. After that i can use they keyboard keys to start/stop functions again.

Not really fatal, i just notice it though because i use a bluetooth mini keypad to trigger everything from the other side of the room since i'm normally not next to the QLC+ machine when running. I did check to be sure the computers keyboard also didn't respond so it's not a problems with the keypad or a BT problem..

Thanks for putting in the video function!

Chris, please do not give wrong information to other users.
The Video function is supported by QLC+ since at least a couple of years.
It is not documented because it's available only on Qt 5 versions of QLC+ (right now it means Windows and macOS) and because there's been a lot of complaining about how it works on different platforms so it's still considered kind of experimental.

I will document it for the sake of it, but we still have Qt 4 builds for Linux around.
