    It would be great if we could hit a button and go straight from MP in fullscreen mode to minimised in the tray(next to the time) without having to go to windowed mode first....

    no it wouldn't, many users use MP on a dedicated HTPC and this function will take up unnecessary room in the userface and in the memory.

    i dont understand this ...
    now when i want to minimise to tray i must go from fullscreen to windowed mode and then press minimise. so this function is already implemented but something like a combo is needed - who connect this two actions in one after a one key pressed. Is a big problem?

    An easy solution would be:
    If you mark the checkbox "Minimize to tray on GUI exit" in Configuration you get the expected behaviour when you "quit" MP in fullscreen mode.
    I'm not sure if this is what you want if you will have the possibility to really quit MP when hitting the close button but an alternative.

    Since I played around with all the settings as per the previous posts and despite putting everything back to how it was, as far as I can tell, now when my HTPC wakes up to make a recording it no longer does so in away mode. I will probably do a restore from a backup in the hope that that will resolve the issue.:mad:

    It's working after some hours search: the Auto3D plugin which I haven't used for years was corrupting the start of the TV live stream from server to MP. If anyone has a similar problem - disable all old plugins and then enable one after another :-)

    Yes correct that would have solved it. I guess I was more interested in finding out what I had done to cause the problem as the error message was of no help. By deleting everything I wouldn't have known so it was a learning curve for future reference. Fully understood I thought that might be the case. I also had some issues with...

    Ok, thanks for the User Management tip - I now get what I would expect. Now all I have to do is to figure out how to make Auto Login do what it says on the tin. The only way to make it work is to manually log in each time. Any hints as to what I'm missing with the login system?
