Call for tester for 1.4.0 features and fixes (4 Viewers)

[powermarcel10]

Sory for making you so confused Scythe!!!

Just to be clear: I'm talking about 2 systems here.. The system with those 3 screens is my 'test system'. The mainsystem has an inbuild 7" touchscreen and is connected to my television..

I have only tested the problem with Mediaportal is getting halvescreen after it has focus again on my testsystem. I will test it in a couple of hours for you to see if it also happend on my main HTPC.

About the taskbar, this is happening on my main system only with the touchscreen I'm talking about. So on that one, my television is the mainscreen and the taksbar is only visible on that screen. When I touch the second 7" screen, the taskbar is visible on the television for a moment. Even when I have set Mediaportal to be always on top.

Does this make it a bit more clear to you?

EDIT: I will answer and test the rest of your questions when I'm home, and will upload logs aswel..

- Booting Windows and starting MP before turning on receiver/display (that's the killer case probably for a lot of stuff)

works!

with tuning a channel + volume up down

after standby no gui sound, but than if I start tv it works

unplgging the cable and replug it => no sound (as expected)
tried to change volume
stopped playback => sound back again

@Scythe42: Here are the first logs.. What I did was running Mediaportal in debug mode, and touched a couple of times on the second screen..

To be clear, 'Keep Mediaportal Always on top' was selected!!

And to be even more clear, Mediaportal is getting focus again after some miliseconds. Just when I touch the second screen, the taskbar is visible for a very short time..

I hope you can find something in the logs! Good luck.

And now about that other problem where Mediaportal is windowed after it was loaded into the taskbar.

I have tested this now on both systems, and it ONLY happend on my testsystem with the 3 screens connected. On the main system it's working just fine. I did a run in debugmode, pressed Alt+TAB to go to desktop, and did another Alt+TAB to go back to Mediaportal, and it was windowed. I think it's comming back into a resolution that is exactly the same as one of the other screens. (1280 X 1024). Maybe it has something to do with the fact that one of those monitors is set to monitor 1 as you can see in the image bellow. However, the FullHD monitor is the main monitor. (number 2)

And why do you have RealTek High Definition Audio Devce and AMD HDMI Audio? Sounds to be like you installed the RealTek drivers over the ATI drivers. Ouch! Even if that is very often recommended in forums that is an absolute no go! It makes things in regards to HDMI audio even worse on a general system level. Or do you have some onboard GPU/Sound as well that supports HDMI audio? In that case, why having it enable in the BIOS in the first place? If nothing connected to it and not use, save your self some trouble and turn if off.

Yes, that seems to be my fault.​

I have only the onboard audio device.​

Will try to uninstall one of both.​

Which device should I keep?​

Just wanted to throw in that it is probably the second option. Looking up his motherboard it seems that it has a soundcard onboard (realtek) aswell as hdmi sound output by amd/ati. This is actually quite common. You are right however he should disable it when its not needed.
Saying that just because it seemed that you two have made up your minds that he installed a realtek driver over amd/ati hardware. So not that you guys are going the wrong direction because of this assumption .

@Scythe42 Is it okay if I create a mantis for a new feature in the future?
That you can select instead of Stop_playback park_playback if the HDMI connection get lost?
TVE 3.5 supports it I think I will be able to do it by myself if the right time comes xD Just want to hear your feedback

Please try the attached Mediaportal.exe over the one from the last build and check if the screen selector issue was solved. And of course everbody else who can reproduce the problem.

Sorry, no good news for you. Still the same behavior.
