I am using build 21714 and have just transferred my settings from advancedsettings.xml to the new xml file thats needed.
I start mpc-hc from a .bat file which does some other stuff. I can't however get mpc-hc to start on top of xbmc. I can hear it playing in the background, but xbmc always steals the shows and stays above it. It worked in the past with this line in my bat file.
start "" "C:\Program Files (x86)\MPC\mplayerc.exe" %1 "/play" "/close" "/fullscreen" "/fixedsize" "1920,1080"
I have tried all of xbmc's xml settings like hidexbmc... but none of these work for me. This is turning out to be a nightmare. I could go down the route of killing the xbmc process with my .bat file... but its not a very nice way of doing things.
Any of you got mpc-hc going on top of the latest xbmc, using a .bat file.
Aswell as this, earlier builds, the hide cursor used to move the mouse cursor to the bottom right hand corner of the screen. This doesn't happen now. If this is brought back, it would be great to be able to choose where its put, because bottom right of the screen does two things for me, shows the Windows 7 Desktop... and when mpc-hc starts, it shows the fullscreen GUI (activated when mouse moves to bottom of screen).
Getting player on top is most important though.
I only just noticed the start, why do you have that in there? That'll mean your initial batch file returns almost immediately leaving MPC-HC running, XBMC doesn't know this and because the batch process ended it assumed playback has finished and brings its window back to the top. Get rid of the start "" and all should be well.
