Note for people trying to reproduce the bug: YOU DO NOT HAVE TO EXIT MEDIAPORTAL after stopping the video (run it in windowed mode for instance). Play the video, stop it and go into the tray looking for haali icon if it's still there (and remains there hovering over it with the mouse).
Actually that is a must as closing the application will clean it's resource usage...
Yes I know it but I think many users try to reproduce the problem closing mediaportal so I thought it was better to point on this.
