MediaPortal gets minimized to tray when playback of an avi is started

There is a bug in the current divx codec Version 6.8.x which causes that MediaPortal and other applications like gb-pvr minimize to the tray, as soon as you start to play an avi, which uses the divx codec.

This issue only occurs if you comply the following criterias:
  1. OS is VISTA (32bit or 64bit)
  2. MediaPortal runs maximized/fullscreen
  3. MediaPortal uses VMR9 as videorenderer
  4. playback of the videofile uses divx-codec
A bugreport has been submitted at the divxlabs.

Solution:
The easiest solution is to enable the "EVR"  instead of the "VMR9".
To do that go to "MediaPortal Configuration", switch to "expert mode" and then select "DirectShow Filter Control" where you will find the "Video Renderer Settings".

If you do not want to use the Vista's EVR, then you can also uninstall the divx codec and use an other codec like xvid instead.
