Perhaps this is normal behavior. When using VLC as the external player, it launches ok and the file plays fine. But after the video ends, I'm stuck with a blank VLC window (restored down, no less). It does not return me to MBC. Since I cannot move the curser with my remote, I have to get up, go to the pc, grab the mouse, and manually close VLC. After that, MBC returns. Do I have something set wrong?

I was using VLC for a while until the huge improvements ebr made to the default player so I use that exclusively in MBC now. However, in VLC if you go to tools>preferences> then at the bottom left under show settings click 'all' then go to 'advanced' and select 'allow only one instance' and then go to playlist and select 'play and exit' - that should work. iirc that's how I got it to work for me.

Windows media center doesn't support mkv natively. There isn't any fast forward and/or rewind. This setting is for skipping back and forth. I thought myself and ebr made that clear. If we didn't, I apologize for the both of us.

Me very slow. But me likes candy, so it's OK.
