divx codec bug causes that applications get minimized to tray
OfflineAny HTPC application will get kicked to the tray when it starts to play a avi which uses divx if the following criterias are complied.
- OS is VISTA (32bit or 64bit)
- application runs maximized/fullscreen
- application uses VMR9 as videorenderer
- playback of the videofile uses divx-codec
This issue has been reported by many users of MediaPortal.
I tested and confirm this issue with MediaPortal and gbpvr.
Testcase:
1. configure MediaPortal to use VMR9
2. start MediaPortal (launches fullscreen/maximized)
3. start to play a avi which uses divx
4. MediaPortal gets minimized to the tray
exactly the same happens with gbpvr.
Note:
- if you change the videorenderer to EVR then this does not occur
- if you do not use Vista then this does not occur
- if the application is running in windowed mode then this does not occur
- if xvid or ffdshow is used instead of divx then this does not occur
Please let me know if you need further informations.

anyone looking into this problem? :)
after more research by our developers we found out that the divx trayicon/application triggers a device-lost.
other trayicons like from ffdshow/coreavc/haali splitter do not cause a device lost, and therefore not a minimize to the tray.
would be great if this could be fixed in one of the next updates.
