[QUOTE="doveman, post: 971890, member: 67412"] I don't really understand this (although I have just got up!) OK, I've found that MP1 doesn't get focus by the GUI being used with my remote (which is why I had to setup EventGhost to give it focus when certain keys are pressed) or with ampDroid but wouldn't a better solution be to make MP take focus automatically whenever it receives input? The other use I can think of is touchscreens but I'd have thought using those with MP's GUI would already give it focus, similar to how clicking on the MP screen with my mouse does (and if it doesn't, that could be done by the same fix as for remotes, etc). If MP2 doesn't reduce render rate when it loses focus, i.e. when the user activates programs on their desk monitor, perhaps MP2 could cause slow-down in the programs they're using, such as Flash Video in a browser or other video/graphic-related programs, requiring them to kill MP and re-start it after they've finished, which isn't good. Having said that, I guess it would be good if the GUI rendering could be disabled completely whenever MP is minimised, which could then be done automatically when launching external players, games, etc. [/QUOTE]
