TV Plugin default to full screen

mrstef · 2007-11-29, 10:52

Hi!

When using MediaPortal as a family thing, it would be much more intuitive if the TV started up in fullscreen when pressing the "TV"-button. So I would like an option (right next to "AutoTurnOnTV" which says "AutoFullScreenTV" or something like that, so one can choose whether or not to start with full screen TV or not when entering "My TV".

Best Regards

Nice! Added by gibman in 16611:

tvplugin 08/12/2007 [00:03:53] gibman added: 'autofullscreen' feature added. When entering tvhome, fullscreen is automatically applied. currently you need to edit mediaportal.xml (in section 'tvservice', add 'autofullscreen=yes').GUI configuration will come later when it's confirmed working.

Thanks!

yeah..
this seems like a good thread to place bugs reports etc.

when watching fullscreen video from (myvideos and probably dvd) while hitting the TV button on my remote, nothing happens.
I think I know why too.
Have to check up on it.

I'll post here instead of in the nightly builds section!

Tried the autofullscreen in version 16615! Worked like a charm! Thanks a bunch!

However, the AutoTurnOnTV still does not work for me in this build! If I listen to music or am playing a movie, then when I pick MyTV, the current playback is not interrupted! The music continues to play with black (full) screen (I have no visualizer active), or the video file continues playing in full screen. If I then press "stop", the TV starts imediately in full screen.

I have double checked the autoturnontv value in mediaportal.xml, and it is there and set to "yes".

Best Regards
