Multiple Instances pvrx2.exe

[bow]

wow, that was quick. No big deal. The first instance still opens as it should. Thanks

Update: I just managed to get EVR going on XP and all the problems I ever had with PVRX2 and VMR9 -fse are gone:
- Multiple instances
- Wake up from standby
- Exit/Kill PVRX2 after error

And in addition the most fantastic colours!!!
Nice work. Thanks

Same problem, multiple PV instances (triggered via Hauppage remote) ever since first PV release - GB always worked correctly for me previously.

This happens even 5+ seconds after the first instance has loaded, so I don't think it's a split-second double-trigger.

Been having this problem sine the change to pvrx2 (using haup remote. No HIP)

Tried the test patch, hitting the button repeatedly. Got a load of message boxes saying, "Another instance running, but can't find its window handle". Lots of instances got loaded.

Closed everything. Tried it again. Got a message box saying, "Acquired mutex, only instance running".

Switched back to original .exe. No more multiple instances.

What's HIP?

Well, as that's working for everyone else I'll have to try it later . Wonder what's happening...

Before you try it, can you see if you have a HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Devnz\ registry key? If so, does it have a ActiveHwnd setting in that key?

Yes & yes. However if I run PV the value never changes, but if I run GB it does.

I just tried this also and I'm running a Hauppage remote. This patch and back works for me also!

Mine is still working fine. Tried rebooting just in case. Only nagging problem is it doesn't come to the front.

The registry values I have are
Default,LastChannel, MusicLibraryView,PvrActiveHwnd,RecordingsView

So no ActiveHwnd as refered too in earlier message??

for those using HIP to bring back focus to pvrx2 when using FSE
you can add Alt tab to the second press of the start button under alternate input
or add this secondary control
@{TAB}
(what alt tab is)
seems to work for me
