[QUOTE="RoChess, post: 893489, member: 18896"] Definatly shows the problem. So I've got good news and bad news. Bad news is that I talked to one of the main developers and the C# code that handles the Facade part to draw the MP-TVSeries interface when focus is back is very old and written by a programmer no longer involved with the project. It needs to be like totally rewritten, so that might happen for a MP2 compatible version in the future, but I don't think nobody has the time or energy right now to do it for this MP1 version. It also more then likely has to do with MediaPortal itself as well, so fixing MP-TVSeries might not even solve the issue. Good news is that this problem does not occur for the large majority of users of MP-TVSeries, because they either use a different external player (such as MPC-HC) or simply rely on the internal player. The only valid reason I know for an external player is for example when you want to use madVR for extensive manipulation of the codecs, usually setup via MPC-HC. Other then that all the explanations I've heared from users as to why the internal player sucks usually boils down to their MediaPortal setup not being configured right for the mediafiles they have. Not the answer you were hoping for I'm sure, but at least you have some options if you care to explore. If you are really stuck to KMPlayer for some inexplicable reason, are you sure there is no MePo action code to get you back to a workable GUI when the Facade goes bonkers? The obvious 'Escape', but you also have hidden menu, context menu, or jump to home, etc. Try all of the default keyboard map entries otherwise or map some new ones on your remote. It's not a proper solution, but at least a workaround then. [/QUOTE]
