possible to support InputDevice.canRunInBackground when Application.runInBackground = true?

[ghost]

The way I'm using Mini requires the Unity process to run in the background (without window focus). I'm noticing that no midi input is detected when this occurs.

I traced it to InputDevice canRunInBackground being false for MidiDevice. It isn't clear to me how a custom InputDevice should be setup for QueryCanRunInBackground with the InputSystem (was first trying to modify Mini's to support it).

I ended up making the Input system a local package and forcing it to always accept background input (line 2424 of InputManager.cs ) as a workaround, but this isn't ideal.

Although that works, it behaves like there are 2 separate states for background and focused. For example, a knob in the background state updates the value, and then if Unity regains focus, the value jumps to what it was when Unity last had focus, and then the reverse for going back to unfocused.

Curious if you have any insight into this, if it could be supported in Minis or if it is a shortcoming of the new InputSystem.

Setting "Background Behavior" to "Ignore Focus" worked for me: https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.inputsystem@1.1/manual/Settings.html
