external Player dosnt get Focus

seol · 2006-04-29, 17:17

Hey,

i have a Problem, with looking myVideos. If i use the internal Player, the Screens stays black. If I use a external Player, like Windows Mediaplayer Classic or VLC, the Player dosnt get the Focus. VLC or MPC opens in Background an MP crashes. Sometimes the external Player gets the Focus, but most the Time it doesnt. The Feature "MP always on Top is diabled" and external Player has enabled "Always on Top" but doenst open on Top. What should I do? Please help me.

Try installing FFDshow, it does seem to solve a lot of video playback problems.
Google it as there is a new version out there.

Thanks, but its doenst solve the Problem.

Its not a Problem to Play Video-Files. The VLC Player have no Problens and MP opens VLC correctly and plays the video. But it happens in the background and VLC doenst get the Focus. I hear the sound and if i switch to VLC i can see the video.
#I dont know what i can do now. :-(
