gameex pops up while launched app running

[Smiff]

ok i have gameex launching zplayer for dvds.

its coming back up a few seconds after launching...

not sure when this started happening.

any advice please on what settings may cause/fix this!

current gameex 6.76

cmd line: zplayer.exe /F /LOCKFS /OPENDRIVE:D /VOL:100 /R:(1024,576,32,0)

the player carries on running fine, i can tab into it.

but i cant get back to gameex, have to force close it and restart.

this used to happen but was fixed ages ago.. ummm?

i think this may be related to the mixer..

seems to not happen if using VMR9

seems to happen every time if using Overlay mixer

does this make any sense?

note sure if its that.. was doing it earlier.. now isn't. gah

sorry Tom i can't give a useful report, but if i manage to track down what settings caused this i will post them

all i can say is there does appear to be a bug that allows gameex to come up when it shouldn't :/

how should i go about tracking this down please?

ok something having a similar effect (completely different but it looks like i may not get any help with the above :/)

-artwork -artwork_directory artwork

where is this coming from please ? mame command line, its stopping some games working. i cant see it in gameex.ini

is this something mame+ is adding or..?

GameEx config: Basic MAME settings - Turn off Use Bezel. I think MAME commandline has changed recently...

Applies to vertical games only.Probably unrelated to your other prob.

excellent, thanks Shaun. fixed 'er right up there.

i might never have seen that option thanks

can worry about bezels later, just want it all working for now

btw i apologise for the subtitle of this thread, tried to change it but can't? i just get stressed when people want to use my htpc and it f*rks up, for whatever reason

as for the first problem i have updated gameex from 5.76 to 5.78 and made some changes to the video player and not see this again - BUT i havent really found the cause. all i know is gameex was coming up over the app. so i think there is a bug, but how/where im not sure sorry.
