I use to listen music while I'm navigating in the net. Usually entire albums.
Lately my MCJR is jumping from the windows that I'm reading (browser or any other) to the window where the music is listed in Media Center, when a new song starts.
I have change a value in Options. (General - behavior - jump to windowed display ....) but it still continue jumping

TIA

[~OHM~]

that is a windows issue

[DaremoS]

Sorry pal, that's not so... or it had happen in a late release of Windows 10.
 
I have windows 10 from the moment it was released and I have MCJR since version 9... or so.
I'm in the last version of the OS and I'm in 22.0.97 in my Media Cnetr.

That never had happened before, until now. Annoying issue, BTW

Anyway, thanks for the response.

then pal... no solution for my problem for the moment

What is the setting for "jump to windowed display"?  I'm assuming unchecked

Obvious questions - restart?  Re-install MC?  Strange problem, can't recall seeing this one in many years.

You can try making some logs, if it's very reproducible it may show something.

In fact, there must be something with this version 22, as reinstalled MC 21 and it didn't happens.

The version I have of MC 22 has several modifications I've made for my huge collection of multimedia files.
It have been in me PC since lots of previous versions.

Here is the log with the situation reproduced.

When is happens, it jump, almost always, or at least, it show the MC icon in the taskbar flashing

So Media Center is stealing the focus from the currently active window when the track changes? That started happening to me with a recent MC release in which JRiver updated the Chromium browser engine to the latest version. Try using the Internet Explorer engine (Tools -> Options -> Tree & View -> Web Browser) and see if that fixes it. It did for me on Windows 7, YMMV.

I really hope this is something JRiver can fix, and not something inherent in Chromium. Focus stealing is a pet-peeve of mine, and the IE engine doesn't work as well as I'd like.

That might be caused by a browser plug-in.  I can't see how JRiver could do that.

That might be caused by a browser plug-in.  I can't see how JRiver could do that.

If so, it seems to be something JRiver installed. The issue started for me when I updated to 22.0.77 (from 22.0.59; I'm on the 'stable' upgrade channel). I just now tried the following in both 59 & 77 (Windows 7 here):

1 - Set the web browser engine to 'Chromium' in the MC settings
2 - Start playback of multiple tracks.
3 - Switch to the 'playing now' view ('simple' track info showing, other HTML visualizations show the same behavior)
4 - Switch to another program

In 77 and above, Media Center will steal focus when the track changes. For example, if I'm typing an email keyboard input will now be going into Media Center.

This does not happen in 59 (and from experience, earlier versions). It does not happen in 77 and above iff I set the browser engine to IE. Given that behavior, and the fact that 22.0.76 introduced:

6. Changed: Updated the Chromium Web Engine to the latest version.

this seems the likely culprit.

In fact, georgem29 give the solution for my problem.
Setting browser to Internet Explorer, the problem disappear
Tested going back and forth

So I'll use IE ...
in some previous message I posted the log if people of JRiver wants to check it.

BTW
Chromium web engine means use of any browser with such engine, IE: Chrome, Edge, Firefox, etc, etc.
I always use the latest version of Chrome (stable), in this case: Version 57.0.2987.133 (64-bit)

MC uses its own independent version of the Chromium engine (meaning is not dependent on any browsers installed on the system) called CEF. CEF stands for Chromium Embedded Framework. For example if you want native Netflix playback within in MC you need to use the Chromium engine.

Do I have to download it?
Give me the URL please

Ok... it seems that comes with MC.
Forget it.
