Win External player problem ==> XBMC will not minimize
#1
Hi,

first post here. Hope I could explain everything understandable, as english isn't my native language.

Using Kodi 14.0 (same problem with Gotham):
Trying to play Bluray-Folders with TMT6 out of Kodi.

Playercorefactory.xml seems to load properly. When I select a bluray out of Kodi, the external Player tries to open. Problem is that XBMC stays in front and won't minimize.

Here is my playercorefactory.xml:

<playercorefactory>
<players>
<player name="TMT6" type="ExternalPlayer" audio="false" video="true">
<filename>C:\Program Files\TMT6\uTotalMedia Theatre 6.exe</filename>
<args>"{1}" /fullscreen /close</args>
<hidexbmc>true</hidexbmc>
<hideconsole>true</hideconsole>

</player>
</players>
<rules action="prepend">
<rule filetypes="video" player="TMT6"/>
</rules>
</playercorefactory>

I've tried other external players. Same problem.
The debug log says: XBMC cannot stay hidden for a launcher process

Here is what happens after I choose a movie to play:
Kodi stays in front
It seems like it has frozen
After a while a pop up says something like: External player is active, press ok to end
Windows Tasmanager shows that TMT6.exe is running. But It doesn't show up on the desktop, when I minimize Kodi manually.

Any clues?
Have also messed around with the <hidexbmc> and <hideconsole> commands. But seems as it doesn#t make a difference if true or false.
