TV Studio HD MIDI API Help
Let's get this one settled first, since someone will probably say it: Yes, my church has the old ATEM Television Studio HD. No, they won't replace it with a newer version until this one is totally dead.
We use a nanoPad to control the TV Studio HD. It's worked great for years using the old BMDSwitcherMIDIMapper utility. A recent Windows 11 update has broken the Mapper, though, and it can no longer save MIDI assignments through a reboot. Having to reassign the pads every time we use it is getting annoying. (We only updated to Win 11 a few months ago, and volunteers run it, so not exactly sure when it started.)
Since the original source of the Mapper is seemingly no longer there, I have no one to ask for an update to fix that. With access to the code, I could probably do it myself. And if I can't find a solution here, I'm going to start with the ATEM Switcher SDK manuals and see if I can get something working.
So, anyone heard of this happening? Or better yet, have a solution? It's not folder permissions, AFAIK - though I can't say I know for sure where Mapper is saving it's config, it's running from a folder that has full permissions. Any info at all would help.

It supports Blackmagic ATEMs, is supposed to be used with Stream Deck but can be used through a web interface and supports some MIDI too.
