Close MP when the external player is started (1 Viewer)

[framug]

When setting "Hide MP While Executing" is "true" then, MP is (was) minimized in taskbar.
It worked before.
Just tested now, it seems that, there is a "minimize/restore" window at launch then, MP is not minimized anymore.
I don't know if it is because of MP or windows (10) development.
I will try to find a solution for this, if I can and, when I will have time....

Update:
I tried the MultiShortcut plugin and it doesn't work,
MP still creates problems in the background, the only solution is to kill it from the taskbar.
I had created a .bat file with the instructions to launch the external player (JRiver) from MP, wait 6 seconds for the start of the movie or the mounting of the .ISO, and then close MP from the taskbar:
This:

Start "" "C:\Program Files\J River\Media Center 25\Media Center 25.exe"
TIMEOUT 6 & REM Waits 6 second before executing the next command
taskkill /F /IM MediaPortal.exe

Strangely sometimes it works perfectly,
other times when the .bat starts, JRiver opens, 6 seconds pass and MP closes,
but the movie does not start.
Could someone help me fix the .bat file?
My OS is Win10
Thanks

Ok I solved by placing a command line directly in madVR

Happy you find a workaround for your problem !
I did'nt have time to investigate deeper.
I know that MP has many issues in the past with "black screen" on resume.
May be, some things has been made to fix it.
If some code changes has been made to correct that, I'm ready to have some informations on it.
Otherwise, MultiShorcut plugin will never work as before....
