Hello:
Just wanted to say that I really like MediaPortal and if only my tuner card worked with it then I would switch over totally (but if it worked in MythTV I'd completely switch over to that!)
In any case, my trouble is with the DVD Player built into MediaPortal. I have no problem playing DVDs, the audio and video both work perfectly and I've been able to get it to stretch them to my TV's full size. However, I'm having trouble when I try to switch over to a different media (music or video files) or close MediaPortal after I play a DVD - MP locks up and I am unable to switch to different programs. Trying the three-finger salute brings up the task manager, but it is (mostly) hidden behind MP, which shouldn't be because I don't have "Always on top" clicked in my MP settings. While it's going fritzy, programs in the background seem to flicker up into the foreground for a fraction of a second (~0.1 s), and I usually am able to see the Task Manager well enough this way so that I can right click mediaportal.exe and hit End Process after a few flickers.
I've searched the FAQ and read the manual and haven't seen anything like it. I've tried searching but it doesn't seem like this is a problem with anybody else (or at least not common, because I've searched for a few hours). Has anybody been able to solve this if it's been a problem for you?
