Songpony, thanks for asking it here as there are others who want to know also.
We have tried to solve this problem, but maybe I didn't post our results.
The VIDEO DISPLAY is a totally separate Microsoft Application (.exe) that we launch to play all video files. We do have the source code to it, so in theory we can modify it to do anything.
The problem is there is only one THREAD, and it DEMANDS foreground control. Thus, any key strokes are captured by the Foreground Application. This prevents them from passing to a background Application.
To fix this, we have to crawl into this Microsoft's code and that will take some time and is not currently scheduled to be done.
We did add a DELETE button on the Hoster screen in 3.310 that allows removing any Track from the Song List, even while playing a Video. Thus, we did get everyone a quick fix.
