TV goes off...

nikec · 2008-09-29, 21:26

Hello!

I am working on a HTPC with a multi-monitor environment. I've configured Mediaportal (latest version) to start on the 2nd monitor (Panasonic Plasma TV). Now when I change the output of the TV from PC to a DVD for instance, and then I go back to the PC, the TV stops and I have to turn it on again. Is it possible to turn that off, so that the TV could run even if the monitors are turned off?

Everything else is working perfectly, I just have a problem with that setting. Any clue on that?

Thanks in advance for answering my question.

Thats mainly display driver issue. Are you using XP / Vista and ATI / Nvidia?

I'm using Vista and Ati radeon 3870 with the latest Catalyst drivers

0001657: Video / Audio playback stops when DVI/HDMI connection is lost - MediaPortal Bugtracker

Should be fixed in RC3.
