Browse The Web / Webbrowser (2 Viewers)

[doskabouter]

Wow, there is something really wrong! When I deactivate the mouse in Config, the mouse IS SHOWN (!) but does not work (I can move it, but clicking on an item does nothing). Also the numbers are shown

*** EDIT***: Can´t add a screenshot, because all screenshots are just black (overlay issue? like the desktop shown when opening BTW?)

No, there isn't anything wrong: this is desired behavior. (Remember, "Use mouse" is off, so don't use your mouse!)
In that mode, you can move it with cursorkeys, and enter will emulate a click. This is done as fallback when there's no number at the link, or for controlling flash.

And that overlay issue: could well be, any idea how to prevent that (and that pesky desktop?)

Edit: Just checked the code, and it seems that the same routine is used to show the "keyboard" cursor and the "use mouse" cursor...

Edit2: Just for test (keep old dll!) could you try this one?

Tried your DLL from above, and configured mouse to browse - same behaviour: First desktop is shown, then now mouse visible...
So what should the new DLL do?

 

[doskabouter]

That was an experiment to see if the mouse cursor was shown when usemouse=true.
And for the record: When I make a screenshot (with printscreen) it correctly shows the webpage, both in usemouse=true and usemouse=false, so there's definitely something different on your system than mine.

The million dollar question is: What exactly is different?

Couldn´t pay that much atm
Yup, that´s the question indeed

 

[catavolt]

Maybe it´s a setting issue?
This are my settings:



Screenshot still not possible - I even don´t here the screenshot click

 

[doskabouter]

Hm, that's the least interesting bit of the settings

The "btweb" section in mediaportal.xml has all the settings. Could you doublecheck if there's only one of those sections, and put it here/get it to me?

Although I suspect something more "lower" in the system, i.e. OS wise, because I can't imagine a setting in the plugin preventing screenshots...

Can you see a cursor in the brief moment the desktop is visible?

Here the MediaPortal.xml section of BTW:

That is the only occurence of the BTW section in my MediaPortal.xml

**EDIT*** And yes, the mouse cursor is visible for approx. 3 secs, then it disappears

 

[doskabouter]

Here on vista, mousecursor is showing, and screenshots also correct.
Maybe it's some other plugin/skin/whatever which is hiding the cursor again?

Perhaps later I'm getting a chance to test this on win7, but I have to get hold of the remote first

Edit: Did you try disabling "use windowed mode" and/or enabling "show OSD"?

Hi doskabouter, thanks for your ongoing work on BTW.

I always get a quick flash of the desktop (win7) when first starting BTW. I was wondering if it was just me or if anything can be done about it?

Hehehe @Pog, this is one of the discussions in the last 20 posts here
