I have been away for a while, hoping that the focus issue in external player support / OSX has been fixed in the meantime.

Has there been any progress? I opened up a ticket on that (#7444)

Many thanks for a reply

@spiff, @davilla, could you find some time to work on it?

It is an extremely low priority, as it is on all platforms. Whether we'll get to it for release or not I have no idea.

Cheers,
Jonathan

hmmm...same effect as in the past. VLC playercontrolls on top, Video running in the background - and: After quitting VLC, XBMC crashes now.

Are there any new suggestions with plyercorefactory.xml one should know?

Thanks,

make sure xbmc is set to fakefullscreen, 9.11.b1 has this setting and it will vanish again.

Beta 1 and your settings are working like a charm!!!

BTW: You all did a superior job with camelot. XBMC looks better than ever before!
