Keep MC minimized when exiting Theatre View
« on: July 05, 2022, 07:39:06 am »

Hi Guys,

Currently trialing v29 of MC to replace my Windows Media Center. I use a physical remote and apart from minor config I predominantly use the theatre view.

We use other applications on the PC that currently runs MC. Currently when we exit Theatre View the main MC window opens up and I wondered if it was possible to keep Media Centre minimized to taskbar or the system tray when exiting Theatre View?

Thanks for your help!

Nick.

Not sure that's possible in MC itself. If you don't need to actually exit MC Theater view but just need to get to the desktop to interact with another app maybe try the keyboard shortcut "Win + M". This will minimize all open windows including theater view. You could then just maximize theater view again when you want it back.
