I was able to reproduce that here now as well. We've added it to our list and will let you know when we've gotten it all fixed up. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/taskbar-button-middle-click-new-instance-not-working-with-media-player-classic/?ID=76a56d51-06a5-4a7a-bc63-c07487ee5056#5 Thu, 07 Jul 2016 23:22:20 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/taskbar-button-middle-click-new-instance-not-working-with-media-player-classic/?ID=76a56d51-06a5-4a7a-bc63-c07487ee5056#5 DisplayFusion Sorry for the delay. Hopefully these are the correct files.

*Edit: Something I just noticed; it seems to only happen when I've launched MPC-HC by opening a video file. When I have nothing playing or if I have MPC open first and then I launch a video the middle click seems to work and open a new instance (though it opens on the primary monitor instead of the one with mpc-hc on it).

*Edit 2: Whoops I misread your first reply. To answer your previous question I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/taskbar-button-middle-click-new-instance-not-working-with-media-player-classic/?ID=76a56d51-06a5-4a7a-bc63-c07487ee5056#4 Wed, 06 Jul 2016 14:52:48 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/taskbar-button-middle-click-new-instance-not-working-with-media-player-classic/?ID=76a56d51-06a5-4a7a-bc63-c07487ee5056#4 DisplayFusion Is there a way that you can export your MPC-HC settings and attach them here? If so, could you attach them, as well as a copy of your DF Settings? You can export the DF Settings using the "Export Settings" button on the Options tab.

Thanks! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/taskbar-button-middle-click-new-instance-not-working-with-media-player-classic/?ID=76a56d51-06a5-4a7a-bc63-c07487ee5056#3 Tue, 05 Jul 2016 20:54:22 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/taskbar-button-middle-click-new-instance-not-working-with-media-player-classic/?ID=76a56d51-06a5-4a7a-bc63-c07487ee5056#3 DisplayFusion I'm using MPC-HC 64bit version 1.7.10 and I do not have it pinned to the taskbar (though it seems to function properly when I do). The issue arises when I don't have it pinned. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/taskbar-button-middle-click-new-instance-not-working-with-media-player-classic/?ID=76a56d51-06a5-4a7a-bc63-c07487ee5056#2 Mon, 04 Jul 2016 19:53:16 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/taskbar-button-middle-click-new-instance-not-working-with-media-player-classic/?ID=76a56d51-06a5-4a7a-bc63-c07487ee5056#2 DisplayFusion I've just tested this in Windows 7 with the latest version of MPC-HC (1.7.10), and it's working correctly for me. Which version of Windows are you running? And do you have MPC-HC pinned to your DF taskbar? ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/taskbar-button-middle-click-new-instance-not-working-with-media-player-classic/?ID=76a56d51-06a5-4a7a-bc63-c07487ee5056 Mon, 04 Jul 2016 01:46:31 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/taskbar-button-middle-click-new-instance-not-working-with-media-player-classic/?ID=76a56d51-06a5-4a7a-bc63-c07487ee5056 DisplayFusion When I have a video playing on my second monitor with Media Player Classic Home Cinema and I try to open a new instance by middle clicking it just restarts the video I was watching instead. This feature seems to work on most other applications I've tried so far, but not on MPC-HC for some reason. Is there something I'm missing? ]]>
