When I was first programming my Stream Deck everything worked fine (returned different key codes for each vMix shortcut button action). But last week it broke (stopped giving different key codes for SDButtonDown and SDButtonUp) so I can't add any new shortcuts. Within vMix, any existing shortcuts continue to work, but when I try to add a shortcut to my Stream Deck vMix won't show separate key codes for button actions. Instead I get the following:

"StreamDeckButtonDown" with key code [CFAA9] when I press the vMix shortcut button and
"StreamDeckButtonUp" with key code [CFAA9] when I release the button.
NOTE: it's returns the SAME key code [CFAA9] for BOTH button actions!

Note: all other aspects of my Stream Deck (with other apps) all still work fine.
My only problem (so far) is that the vMix ShortCut Stream Deck Plugin no longer provides separate key codes for Down and Up.

This is a very frustrating problem because I am just creating my vMix "macro library" and this has me stumped!

That's totally normal when using the vMix streamdeck plugin
one executes a function when you press that button down, another when you release it (same code = same button)

You already had an answer to this in your other post about this,

It's entirely possible that I am wrong and my vMix plugin for Stream Deck is not "broken". But if that is the case, and the current situation is "totally normal" and StreamDeckButtonDown is supposed to have the exact same key id as StreamDeckButtonUp; then I would like to change my request:
-=- I would now like to know how to return my system to the "previous" state. -=-

Currently, when I attempt to assign a Stream Deck Key to an action, and then press that key (ButtonDown = CFAA9), it executes the assigned action, until I let go of the button (ButtonUp = CFAA9), which causes the system to "see" the same key code, and my action STOPS! Alternatively, I can hold the button down for the entire time the "action" is running (so it doesn't get halted by the ButtonUP) but then, when it's all finished and I let go, the same key id is sent to the system and it starts everything all over again.

All my "old" actions (assigned before this "same key code for both actions" happened) have a different code for ButtonDown vs ButtonUp, so I press the button (ButtonDown = 86B11) and the action starts, then I can let go of the button (getting a different code for ButtonUp = ER766) and the action continues to it's completion.

I saw and read your response in my "other post about this" and I am grateful for your assistance in clarifying my exact problem. But I have not found an explanation of how fix my problem - how to return to getting different codes for StreamDeckButtonDown vs StreamDeckButtonUp.

Thank you in advance for any assistance you can provide.

Might be a idea to give some information like what action are you trying to use
I assume you are using the native streamdeck app with the vMix plugin ?
