[QUOTE="hale, post: 142660, member: 49390"] Hi, I'm tying to migrate from ShowShifter to MediaPortal but have two main problems. 1. I need anamorphic output for my widescreen TV from my 4x3 graphics card (gforce4 MX 440), but this option isn't available. using one of the widescreen settings then zooming the TV obviously results in a reduction opf quality. 2. In ShowShifter it was possible for me to have the main application with video playback running on my primary monitor and full screen video on my TV at the same time (Using the Nvidia gForce4 driver "full screen video" setting to autoselect. I believe this is only possible with Nvidia cards like mine.). With MP I find that I can still have MP running in a window on my main screen, but I now get the full interface with video running on the TV and I'd really prefer the TV just to show the video playback. I know that the full screen can work (as with showshifter), in fact if I drag another window over the MP window on my main monitor then the TV goes to video only, it just goes straight back to full interface as soon as I drop the window i'm dragging. Having the full interface on both monitors is better that what I got with MCE but is still not as good as what I have with ShowShifter. regards, hale [/QUOTE]
