    Default Picture-in-Picture no longer working.

    The last time I used PiP was several months ago and it worked fine then. But now if I click on "Picture-in-Picture" and then "Bottom Right" (for instance), nothing happens. Oddly enough, When I click "Picture-in-Picture" and then "Find Channel", nothing happens either but clicking anywhere on the WinTV window and I hear a bell - as if the "Find Channel" window is open somewhere but I simply can't see it. Pressing Escape on the keyboard and everything returns to normal (again, just as if the "Find Channel" window was open somewhere).

    I can still open a second instance of WinTV and watch another channel in the second window just fine.

    So what's going on here?

    I dont use PiP often, but I just tried it here and still seems to be working fine for me.

    Do you maybe have 'stay on top' ticked?

    Sometimes. But no matter if it's ticked or not, the results are the same.

    I think this is if you have Stay on Top enabled and then the channel list can get stuck behind the window. I'll log this.

    "Stay on Top" is currently disabled but I still don't see the PiP channel list. Also, I don't see any Picture in Picture at all.

    Does 'picture in picture'->'find channel' show the box now though? I'm sure the reason this wasn't shown before was your 'stay on top' - the bell sound was a dead give away as this being the cause.

    No, it does not.

    I think the channel list is off-screen somehow instead of being obscured by the main window.

    can you try overwriting with this Settings.xml - it may not help but it might.
