Task Switching from MediaPortal (1 Viewer)

[DanJam]

Hey all i'm pretty new to this
is there any way to start MediaPortal in fullscreen for general purpose, but to have the option of returning to the desktop or switching programs without having to exit the program

Windows & D and Alt & Tab don't work for me
Thanks

these keyb.shortcuts will work pretty well if you tell mediaportal not to be always on top in configuration.

if you also intend to leave MP to the desktop when running TV/video also consider diabling the exclusive directx mode.

The program is not set to always on top
I will try it without the exclusive dirextx, and try ticking applying and unticking
Thanks

PS what is the advantage of exclusive Directx?

Have you tried ALT + Enter?

 

[DanJam]

nope will do

 

[DanJam]

OK the verdict

video will not play if exclusive dirextx is disabled, only sound playback

Alt + Enter works fine

Thanks
