Hi guys!
I've been able to set MPC-HC as External Player
But, when i select a movie to watch,
XBMC minimizes and then MPC-HC launches and the movie starts playing...
My question is,
is there a way to prevent/stop XBMC from minimizing??
i just want it to stay where it is without moving....
thanks!!!

If you set XBMC to use a "full screen window" instead of "true fullscreen" I believe will do it.

Note that the "full screen window" is slower at rendering video than true fullscreen, though if you're playing video with MPC-HC that probably doesn't matter.

its just that when i select a movie to watch,
XBMC minimizes for a sec and then MPC-HC launches
and the movie starts playing...
and i would prefer not to see my desktop when XBMC minimizes...
thats why if there would be a way to not make XBMC minimize,,,,
well there is, using what live4ever told me in post #2....
but doing so, when closing MPC-HC
i see the desktop for a second and then XBMC 're-appears' ....

I'm having the issue in W7, I am launching MPC-HC as external player, and I always catch a glimpse of the taskbar when switching to MPC. My XBMC is set up as always open in playercorefactory and is in windowed mode.
