Currently to scroll, one needs to move the mouse pointer to the left, wait for the scroll bar to appear, click and hold on it, and drag.

Would be good to have normal 'mouse wheel' scrolling behaviour. :-)

Thank you.

Hi! I think you use the iOS version of the app on your Apple Silicon Mac, correct? I have no experience with such a setup, but I am sure that a build for a mobile platform will work on the desktop platform with some limitations like missing 'mouse wheel' scrolling.

To overcome these limitations, I also have the native macOS build. Could you please install and try this build? There are two possibilities to install it:

Does this build works as desired?

Hello! This is really strange!

Take a look on the screen recording below:
https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/875c7677-fe1f-45c8-8b16-30bf07b5d256

This is recorded on Intel mac-mini 2018 with Sonoma 14.6.1. As you can see, the scrolling using mouse wheel works in shortcuts, navigation menu, media list. On the same way it works in the app settings.

The behavior you describe looks like iOS app behavior and I have no idea hwy the macOS version demonstrates the same behavior in your case. Which mac and macOS do you have?

In the application settings, do you have the item "Use USB-RI interface" in the "Advanced" parameter group?

Could you please do following:

  • Open Settings from the application menu
  • Activate the "Developer options" on the end of the settings list
  • Close app
  • Open the app again
  • Navigate to Application menu -> About -> Latest Logging and provide me the first line of this logging that starts with "0001 Configuration: Application started..."
  • Switch OFF the "Developer options" in the settings

Hi!

agree, it is strange... The same DMG has different behavior on different macs... There are only two differences between your and my systems that may be responsible for broken scrolling: Intel vs. M1 and Sonoma vs. Sequoia...

In the application settings, do you have the item "Use USB-RI interface" in the "Advanced" parameter group?

Some years ago I tested the app on High Sierra. Previously it worked fine and I hope it still working.

By the way - the file sizes for music control.app were very different - 76.1MB DMG version, and 30.7MB App Store version.
I can explain it in the way that my build is generic and contains several binaries for different platforms while the build downloaded from App Store is optimized for your system and only contains code related to your platform. 30.7MB is exactly the correct size; my DMG shall contain both x86_64 and Apple Silicon binaries and therefore has double size.

Thanks,

Oops I forgot to reply to that question - Use USB-RI interface is set to ’None’.

now I am sure that the app runs in macOS mode instead of iOS mode since this option is only available on desktop :)

Broken scrolling in your case is related either to M1 or to Sequoia... I plan the upgrading to Sequoia in November and will be able to test the app at least on the newest macOS. Unfortunately I have no M1 or M2 device.

Please let me know how the app works on High Sierra.

Hi @G-R-O-U-C-H-O,
I finally installed macOS 15 (Sequoia), updated XCode to the latest version and recompiled the app on Sequoia. As previously on macOS Sonoma, there is no problem with mouse wheel, it works as desired. Could you please download the latest build MusicControl-v2.14.1-macos.dmg from https://1drv.ms/f/s!At2sh2-YDyGFdsDFl6N3ncDowMg and test whether it now works on your laptop? By the way, I also fixed the size of DMG file :)

Hi! Do you have any tools installed on your mac that tune or change the mouse behavior like fine-tuning of scrolling speed (for example "BetterMouse")?
