Jdiesel 1431 Posted May 5, 2018 Posted May 5, 2018 When playback ends using an external player the ET window loses focus and requires a mouse click to gain focus of the window again. Not very convenient for those who only use remotes.
Luke 42077 Posted May 5, 2018 Posted May 5, 2018 I assume ET was fullscreen prior to starting playback, right?
Jdiesel 1431 Posted May 5, 2018 Author Posted May 5, 2018 Yes, ET is in fullscreen, MPC-HC launches in fullscreen and exits when playback is complete, ET is still fullscreen but the window isn't active until it is clicked on.
Luke 42077 Posted May 6, 2018 Posted May 6, 2018 Ok, please try again with the next release of the app, thanks.
Jdiesel 1431 Posted May 8, 2018 Author Posted May 8, 2018 Will it auto update or do you mean the test builds?
Luke 42077 Posted May 8, 2018 Posted May 8, 2018 It will auto-update but it could be a little while. you can try it now if you replace this file in your installation: https://github.com/MediaBrowser/emby-theater-electron/blob/master/main.js However, you will need to comment remove line 451, the one that mentions wakeonlan
shpitz461 4 Posted May 15, 2018 Posted May 15, 2018 Having the same issue, using MPC-HC to play 3D files, ET is in full screen mode, I play the movie, then press stop on Harmony remote, MPC-HC closes and ET comes back up to full screen, but it has no focus. A workaround is to map alt-tab to a button on the remote, but that's of course inconvenient When MPC-HC launches, ET is minimized, and when the external player closes, I see the desktop for a moment and then ET maximizes. This is on Windows 10.
Luke 42077 Posted May 15, 2018 Posted May 15, 2018 Thanks for the report. Please try again with the next release of the app, thanks.
MrKazador 5 Posted September 23, 2018 Posted September 23, 2018 I just installed Emby theater on a fresh Windows install and I'm having the same issue when using mpc-hc. Emby losing focus which causes all keyboard keys not to function. I have to click on the screen.
ausvette 2 Posted September 24, 2018 Posted September 24, 2018 This is after mpchc exits, right? I have same problem. Yes after mpc exits
MrKazador 5 Posted September 24, 2018 Posted September 24, 2018 This is after mpchc exits, right? Yes.
Luke 42077 Posted September 24, 2018 Posted September 24, 2018 Is emby theater full screen when the external player launches?
ausvette 2 Posted September 25, 2018 Posted September 25, 2018 Is emby theater full screen when the external player launches? yes
Luke 42077 Posted September 28, 2018 Posted September 28, 2018 Can you reproduce this with any other external player? I do external player testing with vlc and i haven't seen this happen. Thanks.
ausvette 2 Posted September 29, 2018 Posted September 29, 2018 Can you reproduce this with any other external player? I do external player testing with vlc and i haven't seen this happen. Thanks. Then how about you try testing with mpc. This happens with both mpc-be and mpc-hc . People reporting this problem are reporting it is a problem with mpc not vlc.
ausvette 2 Posted September 30, 2018 Posted September 30, 2018 What command line are you using? Sorry my response was rather abrupt. But has been frustrating. I've been a very long time user of emby - way before it was called emby. I have 2 emby servers of my own and also setup emby for a friend. I have a mix of windows 10 and windows 7 clients, All 3 emby servers with 4 different emby clients have had 2 very long outstanding problems - they all lose focus on ET after mpc closes and they all have the mouse cursor issue being discussed here in another thread. I've reported issues with mpc before and never had a resolution so was disappointing to find you have never actually tested it yourself. These issues with mpc and madvr and cursor problem are so annoying I changed my main home theatre watching on a 150" cinemascope screen over to Kodi. All works fine no problems, but I was also happy with ET before your change of direction focusing on an internal player and dropping madvr support. Anyway my command line is: {path} /play /close /fullscreen Thanks!
Luke 42077 Posted October 1, 2018 Posted October 1, 2018 I tested a clean install of mpc-hc with default settings. I had no focus problems. After the external player exited, Emby Theater had focus again. I tested this both with closing mpc via mouse, as well as closing via alt-f4.
Jdiesel 1431 Posted October 1, 2018 Author Posted October 1, 2018 Do you mean manually hitting alt-f4 on your keyboard or setting MPC-HC to exit on stop? I can still replicate this on my setup where MPC-HC is set to exit when playback ends
Luke 42077 Posted October 1, 2018 Posted October 1, 2018 I didn't initially test that but i just did now. I let an episode play to the end, mpc exited, and Emby Theater had focus again and i was able to control it.
MrKazador 5 Posted October 6, 2018 Posted October 6, 2018 (edited) I reset MPC HC to its default settings (stock filters) and still the same problem when pressing alt-f4 or alt-x. I also tried setting the option to exit after playback. I tested this on my gaming pc and htpc both using Windows 10. Edited October 6, 2018 by MrKazador
Luke 42077 Posted October 6, 2018 Posted October 6, 2018 I personally tested this last week and it worked perfectly. I am not denying that you're having a problem, but I think there's more factors at play that we're not realizing yet.
