No inputs are detected upon connection/subscription

Edit, sorry, it was a "my bad" situation. There is no issue.

Hey there, Going by what I saw in your device setup youtube video, once m2i is running, I see the following:

[2023-01-15 13:53:36.711] [info] ALSA: Port Subscription from: 'CH345':'CH345 MIDI 1'
[2023-01-15 13:53:36.711] [info] ALSA: Port Subscribed: 36:0 -> 129:0

At that point, if things are working properly from a hardware/connectivity standpoint, I should be at least seeing some sort of output when pressing a button on my device, is that correct?
If I am not seeing any sort of activity in the output, would that indicate an incompatibility with the midi to USB adapter that I am using, or possibly a configuration issue on my system?

Please forgive the questions if they are simple/common knowledge, this is my first go at any sort of midi connection on a PC.


Hardware:

USB Device: USB to Midi - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08HMWJWDW?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details
Midi Device: Behringer FCB1010 Pedal board - https://www.behringer.com/product.html?modelCode=P0089


Here is what I am seeing, which seems correct from what I can tell and have seen in your examples and demo videos.
