    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 :cool:

    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.
    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.

    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?
