Hi I have a problem with mp and tv server svn's 16065. The tv starts in the tv menu and I can see it in the window but as soon as I go into full screen it is black. I can hear the sound so I know it is working and I can see the menus in full screen just not the video.

The strange thing is if I want to get it working I have to go into settings and callibrate the screen every time? I have tried different filters but same thing happenes. the callibration never keeps the setting either. I have a 1080p tv as well maybe this is why?

anyone having the same problem?

Hello bigflause,

have you tried other codecs than nvidia ?

yes I have tried ffdshow and the mportal one but it doesn't make a difference.

I finally got it working. It seem it has to do with running my TV in 1080p as I found another person with the exact same tv and the same issue.

you need to disable vmr9 exlusive mode to fix this issue.

errrrm could someone please explain how to deactivate vmr9??

i have the exact same problem (but on ordinary oldschool tv)... tried various options but kinda raaming my head on proverbial wall....
