Problem with "seeing" XBMC when video is playing

Post by Livin »

I have an issue where EG thinks XBMC is "Deactivated" when playing a video. This has occurred on both the DirectX & OpenGL builds.

I have been trying to use Task.Destroyed.XBMC (works fine) and Task.Deactivated.XBMC (does not work as expected).

Does anyone else have this problem or know a better way to disable XBMC controls when XBMC is in the background or closed?

Here's my controls for XBMC (complexity required based on non-intuitive way EG works).

When playing a video in XBMC or an external player?

I have also seen this. I quit using the deactivated state. I use the destroyed state and I also do searches for specific windows that I want to control after I minimize xbmc.
