TV keeps playing in external Player (1 Viewer)

[kjd01]

I have searched the forums and haven't able to find an answer, so I apologise if this has already been asked.

If I have a TV station playing in MP and then go to Moving Pictures and select a Blu-Ray iso. It minimises MP, runs Arcsoft TMT3 and plays the movie fine. Except the TV station is still playing with the sound coming out the speakers. To fix the problem I have to remember to stop the TV before selecting a movie in Moving Pictures. This problem does not occur when selecting a DVD becuase it uses the internal DVD player.

Is there a setting or something to tell Moving Pictures to stop the TV before running the external player. I have attached logs if needed.

Can anyone confirm that this occurs to others and not just me. Also is this a problem with the Plugin or MediaPortal.

I have searched the forums and haven't able to find an answer, so I apologise if this has already been asked. I also raised this in the Moving Pictures section but haven't got any answers so I thought I would see if it is RC1 related.

Do you get the same effect when using MP's My Videos plugin? If not then it is Moving Pictures bug, otherwise MP side bug.

When I run the movies from My Videos I do not get the problem. To do this I used the ArcsoftPlayerPlugin. When comparing the logs the ArcsoftPlayerPlugin performs the following in the logs, but I do not see this for Moving Pictures. So I think you are right in saying it is a Moving Pictures issues. Thanks for clarifying.

Does this happen to anyone else. I noticed that if I use the ArcsoftPlayerPlugin from MyVides, the problem is gone. When I compare the logs I notice that the ArcsoftPlayerPlugin performs the following in the logs, but I don't see this for Moving Pictures.

Yes this is a bug in Moving Pictures. I created Issue #881 so you can track the progress.
