XBMC Not Regaining Focus After External Player (via playercorefactory)

Brief Background:

I have a collection of SD x264 content that doesn't play properly with DXVA enabled in Dharma. (See this thread.) Since I don't want to lose the benefits of DXVA for HD content, I created playercorefactory.xml settings to launch SD x264 content with MPC-HC until XBMC offers settings for selective use of DXVA.

Here are my playercorefactory settings:

Quote:<playercorefactory>
<players>
<player name="MPC-HC" type="ExternalPlayer" audio="false" video="true">
<filename>C:\Program Files\MPC HomeCinema\mpc-hc.exe</filename>
<args>"{1}" /play /close</args>
<hidexbmc>true</hidexbmc>
<hideconsole>false</hideconsole>
<warpcursor>none</warpcursor>
</player>
</players>
<rules action="prepend">
<rule filetypes="mkv" filename=".*DVD.*" player="MPC-HC"/>
</rules>
</playercorefactory>

The Problem:

When MPC-HC quits, XBMC comes back up. However, XBMC isn't "focused" in Windows. Accordingly, before I can navigate the XBMC interface again, I need to click the mouse or Alt-Tab to refocus XBMC. This is really annoying because my HTPC is controlled solely by keyboard commands.

Anyone have an idea to make XBMC automatically refocus in this situation?

Thanks!

The problem cames from 9.11:

Thanks, Mochilote, for updating TRAC again. I hope this gets fixed soon! Seems sad to have such a speed-bump in the user experience.

It was fixed in Dharma yesterday. I would appreciate feedback.

CrystalP - working perfectly for me.
