Mouse Cursor is always present (2 Viewers)

[Sebastiii]

This is strange because nothing has changed on that side

Same over here

2 PCs, both have the mouse pointer in the middle of the screen after updating to 1.11.
1.11 PRE did not show that behavior.

Both running Win 7 32 bit, no mice connected.

Did any of the developers (of MP 1.11 / MP-TVSeries) already had time to test this use case?
This would be much appreciated

Just unplug your mouse. Reboot your PC and see what happens if you start a video via MP-TVSeries.

Sorry to say, after updating MP-TVSeries to version 4.2.2.2151 no changes.

Sorry to say, after updating MP-TVSeries to version 4.2.2.2151 no changes.

I confirm. No changes. The mouse pointer stays fixed on the center of the screen if no mouse is present.

Does autohide mouse options is set ? (i suppose yes).

Could you make or make again a fresh log when it happen (i don't want to past to much time on this, so if you can make a quick log, i fireup vs on my side) ?
Thanks.

Sorry, i can't help
I can't reproduce, i have reboot my PC without mouse connected and TVS enable and no cursor
So better to connect a mouse even if not used for now.

Well, thanks for trying anyway Sebastiii.
I am wondering what you meant with "autohide mouse options" and where that option would be located?

 

[Sebastiii]

It's when i have look the code, it seems there is an option that can be set in mediaportal.xml but not sure if it can be set from mp config.
AutoHideMouse = xmlreader.GetValueAsBool("general", "autohidemouse", true);
Maybe you could add this in mediaportal.xml like :

<profile>
<section name="general">
<entry name="AutoHideMouse">yes</entry>

So I tried with that option added manually, but no luck.
I am also running Windows 7x64 on the Intel NUC by the way. Updates installed up till May 1st and a Logitech K400r combo.

Next:

• I checked the graphics setting, to make sure they were at 1920x1080 @60 Hertz. They were.
• I tried a regular keyboard and mouse. Cursor still on top.
  
• I updated the graphics driver to v15.36.18.4156 (Intel HD Graphics Driver) and still nothing. Only thing I noticed when starting MePo after this, was that again it took a long time to load keymap.xml.
• I updated the Shark codecs to v5.2.0, did not help.
• In MePo configuration in General -> Startup/resume settings, I selected "Keep MediaPortal always on top". Still mouse cursor.

So far no joy I guess and I am out of options. There is one thing that I recall was added to MePo; Generic HID remote option.
Could that have anything to do with triggering the mouse cursor maybe?

Are the dev's by any chance aware of this issue and willing to lend a hand in this?
