What processes start when MP plays video?
I have tried looking in taskmanager in the processes tab and i don't see anything new start when MP plays a video or recorded TV.

I run BOINC projects on my GPU and it causes video to play badly. BOINC is set up so you can create a configuration file to tell BOINC to suspend the GPU process when another process starts.
So if i can find a process that starts when MP plays video i can tell BOINC to stop using the GPU and the video will play normally.

I just set up mpc-hc to play videos and it works great as soon as mpc-hc.exe starts BOINC stops using the GPU but unfortunately i can't get .ts files to play an external player.
I'd rather use the internal player anyway if i can find a process that starts and runs when MP plays a video i will be set.

The behaviour you are seeing will be fixed in the next release, the Windows volume OSD will appear very briefly on MP exit on the desktop but fades away completely...
