Synopsis::

When starting/stopping videos (DivX) I eventually loose control of MediaPortal and can't stop/pause/FF/FR, the movie just keeps on playing. At this point using the keyboard doesn't help either, only killing MediaPortal from the taskmanager can stop the movie from playing.

Using the keyboard alone I can't provoke this behavier.

I hope someone can help resolving this issue, as this is the last show stopper for me before I connect my HTPC to the familys TV.

I must be the only one with this problem.... :cry:

Anyone got some ideas?

I can rule out high CPU usage as the reason, I'm only using about 25% when it happens.
Memory should not be the reason either, only using a little over half the memory I have installed.

This is a problem with DivX ONLY? Other formats behave normally? I heard that the current DivX 6 install could make some problems. Maybe worth trying to downgrade to 5? Just a shot into the blue...

Also trying to narrow down the problem to clearly reproduceable steps could help to find your problem. (Hard sometimes, I know...)

I've had the same problem once.

Fixed it by removing everything associated with DIVX, and the installed "custom" with codecs only, i.e no Player or other stuff... DIVX installs some kind of control program that you need to tick out.

    The problem is that the DivX toolbar in DivX 6 gets the focus, when playing DivX files.


    Download the file below, and run it - Disable the toolbar.

    Still problems...

    Hi

    First of all, I downloaded and installed the latest CVS release, mediaportal-cvs-01-25-2006--12-05.rar
    Cheked the configuration, and then I tried all your suggestions.

    First of all, I have DivX 6 installed, but use ffdshow for DivX. It shows a little icon in the taskbar so I guess it's OK.

    I then tried reproducing the same result playing a MPEG movie, after pause, FF, FR and finally Back/Exit and MediaPortal stopped reacting on the remote. Went to the laptop for a VNC connection so that I could kill the application. But that was apparantly enough time for it to respond on the remote commands.

    Then I did the same playing a DivX movie, after a few clicks with the remote I used the Back/Exit button and nothing happens.When I used VNC session MediaPortal didn't respond to the keyboard either, Ctrl+Alt+Del to kill MediaPortal.

    One thing I noticed, and that was that in both cases it was pressing Back/Exit that triggered the lockup.

    Does that give you an idea about what's going on?

    BTW watching TV and use the remote doesn't give me any problems, except slow channel changing.



    Best regards

    There must be something, that takes focus, when starting a movie - you say that a taskbar icon comes along...could you do a screenshot of it - and post it here?

    Have you tried the divxtoolbarremove above?

    Hi again

    I have done the divxtoolbarremove with no succes. But I did also disable the DivXcodec using Radlight Filter Manager.

    Maybe I should try using the DivX codec, but not shure if it can show subtitles (*.sub files)?

    I did make a screenshot:

    Hope that gives some clues, even though I can't see anything wrong in that picture...

    Best Regards

    I have same problem using SerialUIR interface with TIRA-USB and TIRA driver mapped to COM3.

    If PREVIOUS_MENU command is sent during video playback, control is lost until video is finished playing.

    I will collect more info tonight and submit a template and log.

    NOTE: I don't have Divx installed at all, I have xvid plugin. It doesn't look like focus issue.

    I'm going to try to "disable apps from stealing focus" in TweakUI, will post result.
