[QUOTE="PVRJunky, post: 228778, member: 60513"] Hi everybody, for those who can't wait for this plugin, I want to suggest a solution I have found somewhere (maybe even in this forum) and made it usable for me. It is a little work to setup, but the result is a new menu entry in MP that closes or minimizes MP switches to the needed graphic card setup and starts PowerDVD in full screen, after closing PowerDVD it switches back the graphic card and starts MP again.
