KMPlayer keeps stealing focus

[subferno]

How do I prevent KMPlayer from stealing focus when it is in "Repeat All" mode? KMPlayer is currently set to "Always on top when playing'.

When I play a particular video or music file in repeat, it would steal focus away from whatever application I was in. And if I was typing something, all the key key strokes would be directed to KMPlayer when the file repeats.

In my case, I have no problem. (always on top + repeat all)

Me too. I have the same problem. It steals focus from the current program whenever its not in "Repeat one" mode.

Never mind. I was able to fix it by checking the "disable auto switch". This player is the best. Thanks to the author of KMPlayer.

F2 -> General -> Skins/OSC

km player still steals the focus each time a new file starts playing as well as when i use the global hotkeys but i'll keep trying different thigs. Thanks for the input though, i appreciate the help.

i have the same exact problem; it is _SO_ annoying.

F2 -> General -> Skins/OSC (Thanks!)

the interface isn't that user-friendly. needs some serious [Only registered and activated users can see links] work. things are located where you least expect, and worded awkwardly (should say "prevent stealing focus").

Hi,

it is annoying and I don't understand why it hasn't been fixed in all those years.

The workaround mentioned here do work BUT KMPLayer will remain in video mode even if an audio is played.

Since there is no way to force KMPlayer to switch to audio mode (why the heck is there no switch for that?) and automatic switching is disabled, KMPlayer will always be in video mode.

So there are only two possibilities:

1. have KMPlayer switch to audio mode automatically but also let it have steal focus from any other program every time it switches or

2. disable automatic switching but have no audio mode.

Hi,

I just checked again. Though automatic switching between audio and video modus is deactivated, KMPlayer still steals focus whenever it changes from an audio to a video file in the playlist (or vice versa).

Please fix that bug!
