Prismatik looses focus/LEDs freeze #339

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Run Prismatik with an arduino running adalight.
2. Grab the colours around my secondary screen. 
3. Run XBMC.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Prismatik usually works fine on XBMC. However, sometimes after a random amount 
of time the colour of the LEDs freezes. Sometimes Prismatik works for the 
entire length of a movie (>2h), but sometimes even after as little as 5 minutes 
the LEDs freeze. 

This can be solved by using ALT+TAB and selecting the desktop. By doing so the 
LEDs take on the colour of the desktop after about 1s. After reselecting XBMC 
using ALT+TAB the Prismatik does work again with XBMC. 

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Prismatik 5.9.6 capture source: WinAPI (full screen)
Windows 7 x64 (aero off)
XBMC 12.2
