When viewing TV make mouse invisible

Shivian · 2008-04-03, 11:27

When you use MyTV and choose a channel, make the mouse cursor invisible after a timeout of inactivity. Not sure if this is a bug or just something that hasn't been done yet.

Cheers,
S

This should work fine.

This can get broken, by keyboard\mouse software, ie logitechs, if only the drivers are used then there's normally no problem.

oh just remembered, some wireless setups do this as well, to test if it is this, move mouse\keyboard out of operative range and see if problem gone.

Weird... I don't have problems viewing avi's with the mouse. I'll play around with the drivers...

I use an "MPA mpeg 2" decoder or something like that. I don't have access to the system in question atm so I'll check it when I get home and update with versions and so on. For x264 I use CoreAVC 1.6.5 I think.

I also have enabled my sys specs.

Sorry my machine seems to have some explorer corruption. I think the SQL Server caused a crash and hard rebooting has caused some problems

Will get the info to you when I get the damn thing working properly again!

Ok got it all working again now. sfc /scannow got the machine going+stable but I've removed the SQL server and MediaPortal+server and am going to clean install them. Will update my tweaking as I get to it!

EDIT: Had the imfamous nforce 4 IDE driver bug (nvata.sys STOP error 0xD1) since I installed my tuner. Will wait for RC1 before I stuff around some more on this - spent too much time trying to get my machine stable!

I usualy don't have a problem (I usualy don't even have a mouse pluged in anyway) but if I move the maouse while running fullscreen TV I think the pointer stays there forever (or till I move it to the corner anyway)

Since installing RC1, I haven't noticed the problem.
