Im really pleased you have now found the problem Hendrik and I cant wait to test the next build. If I can stay on MC29 rather than MC25 it will be much easier to pop back into JRVR for testing on my large 150" curved scope screen from time to time. ;)

That’s ok Jim these things can happen from time to time.
It was getting to me and I did post the break method 7 days ago in post 29 but I just couldn’t get anyone to listen to me...
But if we have the “focus issue fix” on the way that’s the most important thing not only for me but also MC29.
I’ve been with JR for many years now and running my movie shows for my private film club off JRs Playlist feature is truly amazing. It took me years and years to find a prog that would do what I needed, out of the blue I found JR…... My screenings with the JR playlist are no different to how my shows ran for 40 years being a cinema projectionist with 35mm film. I’m a fanatic about presentation and hopefully soon MC29 will work the same as MC25, All the best....

Myself, Murray and his team have been testing over the weekend to see if we could make a simple scenario showing the focus issue. Murray has a more complicated scenario that always fails but it is not practical for others to try.
Test Procedure: So for testing this is what we landed on as while not 100% repeatable, it shows that something causes MC29 to lose focus at times:
- Boot into MC's Theater View
- Play video
- Pause video
- Press Ctrl+J to see if it will bring up the OSD
- Shutdown Windows, repeat.
Results: This was tested with both JRVR and madVR and the results are consistent regardless of the renderer, but.... only on Murray's setup (I could not replicate the issue on my HTPC at all):
- After a Cold Boot, Cnrl+J will not work some 30% of the time
- Behaviour does not change even if MC is set to autorun or not (eg run MC manually after some time allowing Windows to fully load)
- If Cnrl+J does not work, fully exiting and then restating MC does not fix the issue, you have to do a warm reboot.
Workaround: The workaround is when Cntrl+J is not working, you can Left Click on the image and from then it is fine going forward. In addition it also stays fixed even doing multiple Restarts (warm boots), it is only after cold boots that the issue can arise. We at one point thought it was Windows loading MC too quickly after a Cold Boot and that some services was not yet up (as I've seen this with my Library Server clients sometimes loading faster than the network connection being available)... but Murray tried turning off MC auto starting and manually running MC after a minute but no improvement.
Any Suggestions ?: Murray's AV installer is going to map a button on their RC that will fire off a "Left Click" using event ghost so it is not the end of the world but I've run out of ideas on why MC29 is losing focus but only after a Cold Boot.
Thanks

I can get a Log from Murray if that helps but I'm not sure it will show any details on what has focus.
jmone:
I'm not sure if MC's logs show changes in focus? ... but I've written a little util that logs changes to the focus window (attached). Runs in the background and pushes out a timestamp and the name of what grabbed focus to a text file. To exit the util just press "ESC".
