When you use MyTV and choose a channel, make the mouse cursor invisible after a timeout of inactivity. Not sure if this is a bug or just something that hasn't been done yet.

Cheers,

    This should work fine.

    This can get broken, by keyboard\mouse software, ie logitechs, if only the drivers are used then there's normally no problem.

    oh just remembered, some wireless setups do this as well, to test if it is this, move mouse\keyboard out of operative range and see if problem gone.

    Weird... I don't have problems viewing avi's with the mouse. I'll play around with the drivers...

    I use an "MPA mpeg 2" decoder or something like that. I don't have access to the system in question atm so I'll check it when I get home and update with versions and so on. For x264 I use CoreAVC 1.6.5 I think.

    I also have enabled my sys specs.

    Sorry my machine seems to have some explorer corruption. I think the SQL Server caused a crash and hard rebooting has caused some problems :(

    Will get the info to you when I get the damn thing working properly again!

    Ok got it all working again now. sfc /scannow got the machine going+stable but I've removed the SQL server and MediaPortal+server and am going to clean install them. Will update my tweaking as I get to it!

    EDIT: Had the imfamous nforce 4 IDE driver bug (nvata.sys STOP error 0xD1) since I installed my tuner. Will wait for RC1 before I stuff around some more on this - spent too much time trying to get my machine stable!

    I usualy don't have a problem (I usualy don't even have a mouse pluged in anyway) but if I move the maouse while running fullscreen TV I think the pointer stays there forever (or till I move it to the corner anyway)

    I do not know why this xml was in my theme folders, it must have sneaked in some time ago (years?). I simply removed the file. The Latest Media Handler plugin seems to be working as expected. I've had no lock-ups.

    I don't know about MP2 but as you said you tried MP1 too, how is the MP music config ? MP(1) will only use LAV if you select "Internal DirectShow player" as music output, but then you lose gapless playback. If you you don't have multichannel music you can choose WASAPI as the output and set the number of speakers to stereo. I have...

    maybe setting loglevel to debug might pinpoint the difference between normal and stuck? Preferable with as much disabled as possible also try to see if anything is happening during stuck for the mediaportal process(resource monitor, disk activity, cpu usage, anything) maybe other programs competing for resouces?
