MP minimizes to tray randomly (1 Viewer)

[MungoBBQ]

I am still having this problem, and now I've noticed that no scheduled TV recordings will take place when MP is in minimized state.

Are you sure the problem is fixed in the latest CVS? Might be worth it for me then to go through the hassle of upgrading to CVS version.

Nah its not fixed...was my bad. I just happened to run into a streak of no minimizes. However its been doing it again.

Crap. Oh well, I upgraded to CVS Snapshot from 2006-01-21 anyway. We'll see if I notice any changes.

Seriously, this thing with MP not recording scheduled TV after randomly minimizing is _seriously_ crippling my use. Now I can't rely on MP to record my shows anymore.

I hope this is fixed somehow, if it's not just something with my computer...?

This is certainly strange, this weekend I was playing with MP settings trying to eliminate this from happening. I noticed if I turn off "Exclusive DX" and start MediaPortal, everything will work fine. If I then close MP, turn "Exclusive DX" back on, MP continues to work fine until I reboot again. If I reboot, MP drops to the tray everytime I go into MyTV, until I turn "Exclusive DX" off, bring up MP, then shutdown MP turn back on exclusive dx again and bring up MP again.

I've got this from my mediaportal.log from yesterday. Notice how it doesn't say when it minimized, only when I found out and restored. I know that it was not minimized at 17.40 because I saw it finish the recording:
