    Just had a fresh install of MediaPortal because of 2 issues i was having and hell yeah... all the work for nothing because after the new install both issues are still there...

    Here is what happens:

    When i play a TV-Series, Movie or Live TV feed and press the stop button, MediaPortal minimizes for a sec (my desktop becomes visible) and then reopens (for about 90% of the time). The other 10% of the time, MediaPortal doesn't open up again and it just freezes. Only way to fix it is to use Taskmanager to kill the process or application. After MP restart everything is fine untill i run into the same issue again.

    Anybody else experiencing this or knows a solution?

    The 2nd issue i'm still experiencing is grey blacks when using internal player + EVR (There already is another thread open for that issue: Click on the blue hyperlink besides my h.264 Video Codec above).

    VMR9 shouldn't be used under Vista (it is known to have issues with MediaPortals DirectX9Ex implementation). Like the desktop shown is result from using VMR9.

    Only EVR is supported renderer (by the team) under Vista.

    Well, i defo didn't wanna hear that tourettes, since EVR is giving me horrible blacklevels inside MP :(

    At least i now know that the minimize issue is caused by VMR9, but this only makes the problem bigger...
