Hi ...
have noticed that, when using alt+enter to go to/from full screen, there is a considerable period of black screen.
This can be 3 or 4 seconds....way up to 30 to 50 seconds. (Audio is always present BTW!!)

When gathering the log files...using watchdog...screen never returned after a couple of minutes....and MP was 'not responding', and had to be closed via taskmanager.

I've attached logs, and would appreciate any comments!!

Thanks

    when using alt+enter to go to/from full screen, there is a considerable period of black screen.
    I have also experienced this (or something similar to it):

    (1) If live TV is not on the screen, ALT_ENTER works OK.

    (2) If live TV is on the screen (either fullscreen, or in the TV thumbnail), ALT_ENTER sometimes results in a black screen or black thumbnail where the video never re-appears. It may be that I don't wait long enough for the video to re-appear. If I have ended up with a black screen, I usually have to exit from MP (return to the Windows desktop) for video to re-appear.

    No idea, but maybe some questions could help to trigger some thoughts/connections to what the problem might be...

    Does the problem seem to have any relationship (ie. does it always happen when..., or always not happen when...) to:
    1. Whether media (TV, video, music) is playing or not?
    2. Whether ViewModeSwitcher plugin is enabled or not (note: your logs seem to show it is enabled)?

    Thanks for that.....have just noticed that I had BOTH ViewModeSwitcher AND Intelligent frame correction plugins enabled
    .....so most likely was asking for trouble!!

    Thanks again.....will check this out soon...
