Why won't my mouse auto hide? (1 Viewer)

[emueyes]

Hi mrceolla

I have the same problem with SplashProEX, the mouse just stays there unlike MPC etc

I'm a big fan of AutoHotkey, I use it for lots of remote control functions, putting a walltime clock up on screen etc, and found a script to hide / unhide the mouse cursor

http://www.autohotkey.com/docs/commands/DllCall.htm#HideCursor

(Note: that level of programming is WAY more advanced than what I do: shows two things - that even beginners like me can do useful things with it - and that there's a lot of AutoHotKey code out there that'll probably meet your needs. Don't be intimidated by the look of that example. In your case, installing AHK and then cut and pasting that script into AHK's autostart file is all that needs doing)

Hope it helps

i had to have enabled a remote for that function to work. i use intelliremote so don't need to have selected a remote in the config of mediaportal but when i did mouse vanished.

Hello all,

Thanks for your replies. I don't know how but this problem went away for me. The only change I can think of is some codec changes. At one point I had both LAV and SAF filters installed but was having issues accessing the LAV configuration screens. I uninstalled both and reinstalled only LAV. Not sure how that would come into play or if that's what fixed it but either that or some other change I made is now allowing my mouse to auto-hide. Wish I had more concrete information for others.

Thanks again and best wishes!

Hello again,

This problem just ramdomly reappeared. I have made no changes that I can think of except for a nvidia driver update however I do not know for sure which came first, the update or the problem.

Has anyone nailed down what causes this, for some people, some of the time? Very annoying!

Thanks.

Hello,

I think I determined the cause of this issue. My mouse does not auto-hide when I have WinAmp visualizations enabled. Can anyone here reproduce this problem for me. If others can reproduce I will submit a bug report.

Thank you.

I submitted a bug anyway.

I guess we'll see what happens.
