DOS window flashes on/off when opening MP or MP Configuration (1 Viewer)

[mrceolla]

MediaPortal Version: 1.2.1
MediaPortal Skin: StreamedMP
Windows Version: Win7

I was using 1.2 RC before reinstalling Win7 and 1.2.1. Now, whenever I start MediaPortal OR MediaPortal Configuration, I see what looks to be a MS-DOS window flash on the screen for a brief second. Any idea what this is and if it is to be expected?

I added WinAmp's Milkdrop visualization to this install of MediaPortal which I had never done before. Could this have something to do with it?

I am also in the process of setting up aMPdroid and the required services. Could this be the cause?

It's kind of bothersome seeing that flash on the screen and not know what it is. Any guidance towards determining its cause is greatly appreciated.

Thank you and have a great day!

Ok, after loading MediaPortal Configuration over and over again I was able to read the title bar of the window that pops up. The title contains "Milk Drop 2". I can't see the entire title bar since part of it is offscreen in my overscan area.

So why exactly is this window appearing briefly and is there any way to suppress it?

Thank you,
Mike

Hi Mike

You are correct, the milkdrop viz does produce the dos box, there is a fix, but not being implemented until later MP release, as too many files involved causing risk of side effects.
