Mousepointer never autohides (1 Viewer)

[xmats]

When playing video or TV, the mouse-pointer remains on screen at all times, and does not fade like on earlier versions.

Cursor can be moved around and will interact with UI, but does not fade out.
MP is run in fullscreen (set as default) and is started by clicking desktop icon.

Hello,

I have the same problem, once you've touched the mouse so the cursor becomes visible it never goes away.
For me it doesn't matter if TV/Video is on/off same behaviour.

This is new for me for RC3 so I started to think if I have done something different now when still on RC2 and I came to think about that I changed from VMR9 to EVR because I read somewhere that it will become the default when your OS is Vista.
So I tried with VMR9 instead and then the cursor goes away as it has always done. As this only occurs with EVR and I started to use EVR first with RC3 I can't tell if this is new to RC3 or not.

Hi,
with me also.
But only since last/first SVN-RC3.

Same problem here, using EVR / Vista 32 / Catalyst 8.10 with Mediaportal 1.0 RC3 (but had it since RC2 with EVR).

It's now in Mantis:

0001737: When using EVR mouse pointer does not auto hide anymore - MediaPortal Bugtracker

This one is a real toughie to pinpoint, i have had the same, then do a reinstall and its gone, as it has at the moment on both xp and vista.

The trigger for this happening may take a while to crack, so be patient guy's.

Hello,
I can also reproduce this on my machine with Windows XP and WMR9
Regards

[edit]
Now I tested this out in some different plugins (movies, mp tvseries, tv) and cannot reproduce this any longer here. It must have been a single incident. So just ignore this post

This has been raised in the past:
0001443: EVR: mouse cursor is not hidden after accesing a context menu in fullscreen - MediaPortal Bugtracker

Was supposed fixed by a MS patch. FIX: The video application crashes when you play a video if five or more monitors are attached to the computer

I applied the patch but it didn't help, after doing a full rebuild of my (vista32) system the problem went away (I was using the same MP build as before the windows rebuild); hasn't returned (yet!) with RC3.

It seems like a windows issue, maybe?

I had this problem too, so I wrote a small program to autohide the mouse after 5 seconds. It's attached. Anyone who wants to can donate using the link below. Enjoy!
