Every time the video reaches its end and starts from the beginning, BioEra will fetch the active window focus in Windows. The means that any other program (e.g. a Word document) in which the user is typing looses the active Window focus, and work is interupted. For Video lengths like 5 seconds, which we use often, this makes any other user activity outside BioEra impossible. Our customers are therefore troubled with it. Can you help? Marius

For our software, hiding and playing are individual paramters that combine in any order. Among other reasons, this keeps multiple displays of the same video in synch.
