Code:<advancedsettings>
<externalplayer>
<filename>c:\Program Files\mplayer\mplayerc.exe</filename>
<args>/shutdown</args>
<forceontop>true</forceontop>
<hidexbmc>true</hidexbmc>
<hideconsole>false</hideconsole>
<hidecursor>false</hidecursor>
</externalplayer>
</advancedsettings>
This is running vista 32bit on and AMD/ATI machine. While mplayer starts and plays the video, it is always set active but not foreground.
I have attempted this with and without the forceontop and hidexbmc.
I'm going to try another player (such as zoom) and see what happens.
Cheers!
I have the same setup and problem. Had no success using zoom player, mplayerc (home cinema) and kmplayer. Alt-tab works as long as I don't start external player. Hope this information help a bit.
