Mediaportal is completely reliable. However (2 Viewers)

Soooooooo...... I'm not a C programmer but if I minimise to the taskbar, this shouldn't happen? Feel way out of my depth now ;-)

Yep if it's minimize, it should stay minimize, but i remember that on resume MP can be locked and wasn't able to response.
I didn't try to reproduce your issue.

So to confirm :

Before going to standby, you reduce MP -> then standby
Your resume your htpc -> MP is opened like if you didn't reduce it right ?

Thanks

Could you start watchdog log (first option) and reproduce your issue and attach your logs ?

Ok it seems that was the addon in : private void OnResumeSuspend() (Mediaportal.cs) that restore MP on resume (in fullscreen).
I can create a branch based on Master (1.17 Final) for you to test

This is a link for an installer that should solve your issue :

That's done it! It's now working entirely as I would hope.

I am, frankly, stunned by your positive reaction to a query from a first-time poster. Many, many thanks.

I don't suppose this could go into the main development path, could it?

If we don't have regression, it should be ok
@mm1352000 are you ok ?

@mm1352000 are you ok ?

Not sure.

I wonder if maybe you forced restore in order to ensure MP size was correct?

 

[Sebastiii]

I didn't remember

I didn't remember

This should be testable.

1. Close MP.
2. Open MP config and enable General -> Startup/Resume Settings -> "minimize to tray on GUI exit".
3. Close MP config.
4. Change Windows display resolution to non-maximum value (eg. 1280x720).
5. Start MP fullscreen.
6. Exit (=> minimise to tray).
7. Change Windows display resolution to maximum value (eg. UHD or FHD).
8. Restore MP from tray.

What happens:

• Did MP automatically restore when display resolution was increased after step 8?
• Is MP fullscreen, or stuck at 1280x720 size after step 9?

If the answers are no and no then maybe the change can be accepted. Otherwise we have a problem.
