[SOLVED] Unknown notification area icon

Squish4058 · January 14, 2019

As title says, only appears when using VLC

It does the same thing as most other killed processes and vanishes on mouseover(so no mouseclick)

Cant find anything unusual in task manager either

EDIT: to clarify, the white icons

EDIT: seems to appear whilst not using vlc now. hmm, will update after experimenting, thanks though

EDIT: SOLVED< seems to be the service that handles file transfers between my LG V20 android phone and my PC, this is because it shows up in my computer as a "media player" not a usb drive. I assume its something to do with the MTP protocall but oh well

Do you happen to have any Creative audio devices connected? SB could mean SoundBlaster.

Uninstall Martoska (if I good remember it's icon related to some mkv external codec). You don't need additional codes for playing videos.

Or configure your codec - allow only one instance.

And try better video player - POT Player or GOM. VLC is a little crappy.
