I've had this problem since external player was started. (I believe in the jester build). I just thought I'd check to see if this was something someone managed to solve.
When starting a video in the external player MPC-HC the window opens behind XBMC. I just updated from jester to the latest SVN a few days ago and built a core factory file. Now, unlike before, if I press exit after the movie starts (I can hear the movie) then MPC-HC will close and XBMC will resume (did freeze).
My workaround has been for remoteghost to kill XBMC upon MPC-HC launch and vise-vera. This isn't ideal, and at times it fails to close XBMC which causes the video to play poorly.
