    In a special case, MP plays recorded-tv instead of live-tv.
    The following two options in the Mediaportal - Configuration must be true.
    TV/General settings/Turn on TV
    TV/General settings/Directly show fullscreen TV

    Steps to reproduce:
    Go from home screen to the recordings menu.
    Select a recording and press OK.
    The recording is played in full screen.
    Press ESC to go back to recordings menu.
    Press ESC again to go back to home screen.
    The recorded-tv still runs in the small window on bottom.
    Then start live-tv from the home screen.
    Now, I expects that live-tv starts.
    But the last watched recorded tv is displayed in full screen.
    Only by pressing the STOP button, Live TV really starts.
    At this moment, only the STOP button reacts.

    There is logged a error "LoadSkin: Running on wrong thread" at approximate the same time.

    Hello

    Now, I expects that live-tv starts.
    IMHO this would be undesirable behaviour.

    The auto-start TV setting is provided to avoid having to manually start playing something (either live TV or a recording) when you enter the TV section. If you enter the TV section and something is already playing then IMHO it would be very questionable to stop whatever is playing and switch to live TV.

    In other words, if you start playing a recording it clearly indicates that you want to watch the recording. However IMHO if you enter TV home with auto-start enabled, it does not necessarily mean you want to watch live TV.

    But the last watched recorded tv is displayed in full screen.
    Only by pressing the STOP button, Live TV really starts.
    At this moment, only the STOP button reacts.
    This is exactly what I would expect.

    Regards,
    mm

    Yes, I understand.
    It is only what I meant.
    But no Problem.
    I deactivate "TV/General settings/Directly show fullscreen TV" and all is good for me.

    Best Regards
