[no Bug] Gui low FPS with no focus and no running video (1 Viewer)

It is done on purpose, works as designed. This is to give more CPU / GPU time for other applications that might have been launched from MP. I know it is not the best way, the correct way would be to have plugins to be able to disable the rendering completely.

No. As tourettes says, this is done by design.

"always on top" is a workaround, if you have a dedicated htpc, as it gets the focus always.
I hope MP2 will take a little more care for systems which are not only running Media Portal, since this one here isn't the only problem for a "second display htpc" (speaking from dynamic refresh rates and remote controls).

Better workaround would be to build own MP version. It s just few lines of code that needs to be commented out to remove that restriction. I can find those if someone is interested in building a own version.
I hope too since lot of users are asking for those
But the fact is that it is not always up to the application, also GPU drivers play big role in multi display setups and cause gray hairs (especially for the developers). Also handling things like moving DirectX application between different displays are going to complicate the code a lot in several places. But lets see what MP2 has to offer for multi display users (I personally use only one display since I know that the GPU drivers have been really problematic in the past with the DirectX and video playback, so it supporting such wont be on my TODO list).Users who are viewing this thread

Certainly the vintage MP2 installer that I was using no longer installs the LAV filters. I can only assume that these were never part of the install package itself, but rather downloaded during the install, and that link no longer exists. Shame that the installer doesn't indicate this.

I used to use the grabber but a few years back it disappeared on FreeSat DVBS. That is when I changed to EPG Collector. The extra benefit is that it collects from the Sky platform so it will give EPG for all the FreeSat channels plus the unencrypted movie channels on the Sky platform. It also allows me to pick the channels dedicated...
