Hi guys,
This has been bugging me for a while, but I haven't had the time to report it. I don't know how long this has existed, maybe forever, but whenever MC stops a video, or transitions from one video to another MC seems to be deactivated for a tiny blip. I'd probably never have noticed this if I hadn't started using EventGhost to handle all my remote control programming.
I have 3 main sets of remote modes: one for MC, one for TheaterTek, and one for general keyboard control which is the default. The MC group is made active whenever MC is activated (EventGhost generates Task.Activated.<APP> events whenever a new application is activated). The TheaterTek group is made active whenever TheaterTek is activated. Finally, the keyboard control group is activated whenever MC or TheaterTek is deactivated. I added on-screen-displays to the events that change modes to show what mode is being activated, since I was seeing strange things happen. If I'm watching a multi-episode TV series in Display View I'll see an OSD event for the default keyboard mode as MC switches from one episode to the next. Sometimes, I'll see an OSD event for the MC mode almost immediately afterward, but other times I'm left in the default mode. If I click on MC I see the OSD display for the MC mode, so it seems to me that MC was no longer the "active" application in those cases.
Is there some way you could activate another part of MC before destroying the video?
