divx codec bug causes that applications get minimized to tray

Any 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

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.
