Synopsis:: When running 3d games from my programs eg project 64 everything runs fine till you exit the program, and try to return to media portal, just end up with a black screen, sometimes with a little coruption at the bottom, can hear the ui sound efects in the background and mp exits ok, so nhot a "real" crash, seems very similar to the video black screen that was fixed today.

PS. been loving media portal for ages now finnally got the bits together to run dedecated machine keep up the good work:)

Direct X error within mediaportal

first guess:
1) make sure project 64 is properly killed when finished. How do you kill it?
2) force mediaportal to stay on top or at least to grab focus when you exit your program
and if it's not enough 3) force screen refreshing when program terminates (e.g. reinitialize desktop size)

Did it work with previous version of mediaportal?
Is project64 the only emulator to behave so badly?

project64 works fine with mediaportal at home

Alt F4 bound to remote key



2) force mediaportal to stay on top or at least to grab focus when you exit your program

tried with both mp ontop and off


3) force screen refreshing when program terminates (e.g. reinitialize desktop size)

set p64 to 1024 rez so its swapping back and forth.

Is project64 the only emulator to behave so badly? only emulator i have instaled at moment wil try with others

project64 works fine with mediaportal at home

latest svn?


and it did work before the new ui.

What if you make project64 run at the same resolution as MediaPortal so no resolution swapping occurs? Does this fix the problem? It might be a problem with re-initialising after a resize.

all ready tried that same thing, updated to recent svn, still same problem, sometimes the mediaportal screen seems to capture the image from the game, and displays it, other time you can see the text from the menu for a short time.
