[Bug] Taskbar briefly flashes after starting/stopping video (1 Viewer)

[CypherMK]

When I start or stop a video, most of the times, the windows taskbar will briefly (less than a second) flash. It doesn't look right.

Steps to reproduce:

• Make sure mediaportal isn't set to stay on top. Refresh rate changer has to be enabled.
• Start any video (see flash)
• stop video (see flash)

At first I thought it happened because of my higher dpi settings, but even at default dpi, the issue remains. Also running windows 7, don't know if it happens on other systems.
And I don't want mediaportal to be on top all the time, as I want to switch between oher programs.

Jira: https://issues.team-mediaportal.com/browse/MP1-4557

****EDIT****

I now also notice this issue, when mediaportal is set to stay on top. I will happen less frequently though.

I can't reproduce this on my systems (Win 8.1), but i do notice flickering of the 'watched %' indicator in MyVideos when i enter/exit a folder. Might very well both be related to the skin engine.
Do you use the DRR? If so, does it also happen with that disabled?

I use dynamic refresh rate. I will try without it and see what happens.

About the mini display issue, what can I do about it? Remove that dll?

Yeah, or disable it while testing. According to the JIRA the .dll needs to be removed, but i assume we still need a proper reference (and a 32bit .dll), but not sure about that. Maybe @Stéphane Lenclud can comment on that.

I never took the time to investigate this issue and it does not sit very high on my priority list TBH. Will get there though at some point.

I was more interested in your comments if CypherMK could just remove the .dll or if that would cause him troubles with his Minidisplay.
I never use the plugin.

 

[Stéphane Lenclud]

Which minidisplay does he have? You could just try wont take 30s.

 

[Stéphane Lenclud]

Maybe you will still get an error message complaining that the DLL is not found.

 

[CypherMK]

Nice to have an off topic conversation

But to go on topic again: disabling the refresh rate changer, makes the issue go away. But that is of course not a solution. Also updated opening post.[DOUBLEPOST=1408569457][/DOUBLEPOST]

I deleted the dll and made a log file. Could you or @HomeY check if the error is still there?

I can confirm this issue but tbh it does not bother me so much.
