Hope this is the right place for this.

I'm running a 2nd screen HTPC with an RF remote, which is simultaneously used for other tasks on the main screen; so MP rarely has focus. But when MP loses focus and isn't playing a video, its frame rate drops to 9fps. This makes controlling MP with the remote incredibly sluggish.

Apparently, this isn't a bug or a real performance limitation; but a "feature" intentionally designed in, which I found accurately described in this thread:

https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/mediaportal-1-1-0-rc-3-6-519/gui-low-fps-no-focus-no-running-video-83304/

In that thread, tourette's suggested this "feature" can be removed by commenting out a couple of lines of code. I'm currently contacting him to see if he can help me find them.

However, this "feature" should really be made a configurable option!

    I needed something similar for dual screen usage and have compiled version that keeps MP full speed when not in focus.

    If your still looking for it let me know.
