Green Button + Anouther Small Niggle

[Lao Pan]

I have "Use Green Button" ticked in the Settings Menu and use a genuine MS Remote, but every time NPVR starts using the Green Button, (Full Screen) it does not have focus - Full Screen but with the Taskbar over it. Which then requires getting the mouse for just one click to regain focus.
If NPVR starts from a shortcut and usually on starting Windows (from the Start-up Folder shortcut) all is OK.
This is on Windows 8.1 but I think it goes all the way back to the start of NPVR when I was using Vista.

When using the New Layout in Videos and if also using it in Recordings (Not using it yet) - Even if there is a full set of fanart, banner and poster in Media/Shows, they will not be used unless there is an xml with the same name.
Also if that is how it should be, what is the minimum information that should be in the xml (So I can produce the missing ones) - a lot of the downloaded ones there already seem to be full of bogus info.

If either of these require changes to NPVR I am sure it can wait for the next release.

I've had something similar to your first problem that was mainly solved by ensuring *all* systray icons are set to never notify or display. Force them to stay hidden as best as you can, and that'll hopefully stop the taskbar attempting to steal focus.

I've had the focus problem using win 7; that turned out to be due to the aero desktop theme. I switched to one of the basic themes; NPVR gets the focus on startup.
