Hello

I've got a small but irritating problem with running MediaPortal on my secondary screen (the TV). Sometimes, not everytime, when I press the "Back" button on my MCE Remote, the MediaPortal windows looses focus and instead I control some random running application on the primary screen

I've been checking the logs but nothing there even registers. Does anyone have a clue? I find it very strange that it only happens sometimes. I hate getting up when lying on the sofa just to click on MediaPortal in the taskbar.

Any input is highly appreciated

Hi,

I use the plugin MCE replacement. That works with an alternative driver (needs seperate install, but it is instructed in the forum) and basicly redirects all remote commands to mediaportal, no matter if it is in focus or not.
