Remote not responding when Avi's loaded

[honkfrog]

Hello again.
I seem to be having some problems with AVI files. When I play them, the remote stops working for pretty much everything except for volume (which as I understand it, GBPVR doesn't manage), so I have to use the mouse to exit.

I'm using a completely clean install of 0.98.13b with no plugins, and a MCE remote (came with PVR150mce if that distinguishes)

It's odd because it's only AVI files (to be specific, I think I have only tried divX and XVid)... everything else works as it did before I upgraded from 0.97. If it matters, I'm using the DivX 6.4 codecs.

Thank you very much for your time

If your video is encoded in DivX, there is a DivX codec application that is stealing the focus. You should see it's little "X" icon in your system tray while the codec is in use. This is not really a bug but a "feature" of the DivX codec helper app which you can find more about if you dig through the archives. You can use a different DivX codec (Like Koepi's at http://www.free-codecs.com/download/Koepi_XviD.htm) or use your mouse to move the focus back to the GBPVR window. Let me know if this helps!

Brilliant! Couldn't see that GBPVR was out of focus because I had it fullscreen.
Thank you very much for being so quick!

if you use the 45 button hauppauge remote, hitting menu should allow you to bring gbpvr back into focus as well..
