[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1191635, member: 82144"] I was just writing a detailed reply to explain why I think the problem had nothing to do with MP when I noticed something new. In order for MP to trigger auto-playing Windows must send a WM_DEVICECHANGE message, as per [URL='https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa363215(v=vs.85).aspx']documentation[/URL]. Normally that message should be [URL='https://github.com/MediaPortal/MediaPortal-1/blob/master/mediaportal/MediaPortal.Application/MediaPortal.cs#L2071']logged[/URL]. I already said that I don't see that message in your log files. What I didn't see was this: [URL]https://github.com/MediaPortal/MediaPortal-1/blob/master/mediaportal/MediaPortal.Application/MediaPortal.cs#L1612-L1617[/URL] In other words: the message is ignored if you enable the MP option "Keep MediaPortal fullscreen mode (don't rely on windows resolution change)" in MP Config -> General section -> Startup/Resume Settings sub-section. The log files show that you have enabled that option: So, that's at least one reason why your auto-play is not working. IMHO it's a really bad idea to ever enable that option. If you decide to enable it then you will lose auto-play. [/QUOTE]
