blomman Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 When starting DVBViewer either from remote control or doubleclick on icon, the DVBViewer application does not get focus, resulting you need to click the DVBViewer window to gain focus, to get the remote control start working. I'm running windows XP, same behaviour when starting in full screen or in window mode Thanks /Jonas support.zip Quote Link to comment
peterp Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 (edited) Same problem here. I need to click on the window once to get the MCE remote working. Using windows 7 32 bit and starting DVBViewer fullscreen. I have had focus problems before, because of other software running on the machine, for instance the Air Mouse application (use iPhone as a touch pad). The iPhone Air Mouse App shows the currently focussed window when it's started. Strange thing is that DVBViewer is reported as the application having the focus, but still a click on the window is necessary to get the remote to work, either with the keyboard or with the Air Mouse App. Edited October 11, 2010 by peterp Quote Link to comment
Griga Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 It's a known problem, and we are working on it. Quote Link to comment
Cav Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 (edited) It's a known problem, and we are working on it. When will be new version? Or where can i found 4.5 RC2? This is big problem, DVBViewer with this problem can't closing and hibernate the computer after the recording. Edited October 13, 2010 by Cav Quote Link to comment
peterp Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 It's a known problem, and we are working on it. Great! I found out something else: If I try to switch focus to DVBViewer using the Air Mouse software, it offers me two windows to switch to, one by the name of "DVBViewer" and one with the name "DVBViewer". Apparantly DVBViewer creates two windows (or at least two window handles). When switching to either one of these windows, the MCE remote works. regards, Peter Quote Link to comment

Tüftler Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 Where is version 4.5 RC2 ??????!!!! I must do downgrade, 4.5 is worse. Please have patience It's a known problem, and we are working on it. Quote Link to comment
Cav Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 4 days ago. And nothing. What problem is to send GOOD VERSION RC2? My computer must working 24/24, by error in full version? Why? Quote Link to comment
Tüftler Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 You can use also DVBViewer 4.2.1.0 until an update is available. -> http://www.DVBViewer.com/members/ Quote Link to comment
Cav Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 You right, but why can't I use 4.5 RC2? 4.2.1 its prehistorical version. It's very strange, all beta version of last year was better than full version (4.5). Quote Link to comment
Tüftler Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 Errors can slip in always, so you have to wait for an update or you have the 4.5RC2 install saved on your drive! Older beta versions aren't not supported and downloadable! Quote Link to comment
Griga Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 4.2.1 its prehistorical version. My grandpa has used it when he was young... Quote Link to comment

Griga Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 First, versions from other people will not work with your credentials, and secondly, whoever distributes DVBViewer without being authorized will be excluded from accessing the members area. Quote Link to comment
Cav Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 Really Setup.exe is different to any user? Quote Link to comment
defscan Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 I find DVBViewer 4.5 does not get focus if either of the 'TV/Radio Pre-Format Detection' options are ticked (Audio/Video). If I untick both of these then DVBViewer gets focus every time it opens in full screen. Quote Link to comment
Griga Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 I find DVBViewer 4.5 does not get focus It's a known problem and will be fixed in a service update (within the next weeks). Quote Link to comment

lbhifi Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 I got tired of waiting for the hotfix, since this is a major negative WAF issue. I made a program which start DVBViewer and focus the main window. I have no problem sharing the program if the hotfix is a long time due. Quote Link to comment
Hecxa Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 My own solution for this issue is a bit "idiotic and simple". I am using Hauppauge remote and adding some random extra parameter to irremote.ini where DvbViewers startup command is. My DVBViewer startup command in irremote.ini is: NEWTV={run(DVBViewer.exe /null)}{sleep(4000)}{run(DVBViewer.exe -c1)} What that does? 1. Starts up DVBViewer with "blank parameter" /null and result is blank screen but with focus 2. wait for 4 seconds (about the time my system starts up DVBViewer) 3. "Runs" DVBViewer again with parameter that tunes the program to channel number 1 It does not matter what that /null is as long as it is not a parameter known to DVBViewer (I suppose). I tried to use just "DVBViewer.exe -c1" and but the focus was lost. Not sure why that /NULL or anything else, like /BLABLA or /ABCDE gives focus but it does, only that the DVBViewer starts up with blank screen. No more do I have to use mouse to focus, but the startup channel is always 1 Quote Link to comment
