This is expected if your minimizing the application, as DisplayFusion needs a visisble window to mirror.

Does the same issue happen if you just click a different app to focus instead? ]]> RE: Active Window Pauses When Mirroring https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/active-window-pauses-when-mirroring/?ID=01965548-a28c-7501-846e-1489539039c2#5 Thu, 24 Apr 2025 17:22:17 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/active-window-pauses-when-mirroring/?ID=01965548-a28c-7501-846e-1489539039c2#5 DisplayFusion

Which mirror function are you using? If you're using the "Mirror Window" function it shouldn't be pausing when another window is focused


Any update? ]]> RE: Active Window Pauses When Mirroring https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/active-window-pauses-when-mirroring/?ID=01965548-a28c-7501-846e-1489539039c2#4 Mon, 21 Apr 2025 18:59:48 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/active-window-pauses-when-mirroring/?ID=01965548-a28c-7501-846e-1489539039c2#4 DisplayFusion Here's a video to show you what I'm trying to do. This is an app I downloaded from the MS store. But it happens with Youtube, etc. ]]> RE: Active Window Pauses When Mirroring https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/active-window-pauses-when-mirroring/?ID=01965548-a28c-7501-846e-1489539039c2#3 Mon, 21 Apr 2025 17:45:43 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/active-window-pauses-when-mirroring/?ID=01965548-a28c-7501-846e-1489539039c2#3 DisplayFusion

I'm using this:

using System;
using System.Drawing;

// The 'windowHandle' parameter will contain the window handle for the:
// - Active window when run by hotkey
// - Trigger target when run by a Trigger rule
// - TitleBar Button owner when run by a TitleBar Button
// - Jump List owner when run from a Taskbar Jump List
// - Currently focused window if none of these match
public static class DisplayFusionFunction
{
public static void Run(IntPtr windowHandle)
{
// Mirror the window and move it
IntPtr mirrorWindow = BFS.DisplayFusion.MirrorWindow(windowHandle);
BFS.Window.MoveToMonitorMaximized(1, mirrorWindow);

// Loop until key is pressed
while (true)
{
// if you press Ctrl + Shift + F2 together, close the Mirror Window and exit the script
if (BFS.Input.IsKeyDown("17;16;112"))
{
BFS.Window.Close(mirrorWindow);
break;
}

// sleep for a bit so we don't run-up the CPU
BFS.General.Sleep(50);
}
}
}

I modified it so I could use different SHFT+CTRL+F# to kill the mirror. This one goes to monitor 1 and uses SHFT+CTRL+F1 to close the mirror. ]]> RE: Active Window Pauses When Mirroring https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/active-window-pauses-when-mirroring/?ID=01965548-a28c-7501-846e-1489539039c2#2 Mon, 21 Apr 2025 17:13:07 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/active-window-pauses-when-mirroring/?ID=01965548-a28c-7501-846e-1489539039c2#2 DisplayFusion Which mirror function are you using?

Unfortunately, when that window becomes unfocused the mirror pauses. I'm trying to find a way so that any mirrors continue without pausing if they're not based on the active (focused) window.

For reference: I'm using this in a game shop. We have 3 TVs tied to a single PC. Our judges can mirror the standings to a particular TV. But items like a timer or video stop when the user switches to a different active window. ]]>
