@Scythe42: I'm running the latest version of our internal testbuilds including your latest fixes. Since this latest version, the fonts are a lot bigger than before.. I am running bigger fonts in Windows (125%). But now are the fonts in Mediaportal also bigger and I don't want that! When I set the fonts in Windows normally at 100%, everything is fine again..

Is this bug? Or do you like it this way..

EDIT: I think it's this one:

- 0004121: [Skin Engine] Compensate for different DPI settings than 100% in Skin Engine (Scythe42) - merge pending.

Right? Would be nice if the user is able to change the fonts in Mediaportal itself.. to make them smaller/larger.

@Scythe42 i tested your new mp.exe version...there are only two issue left (for me)

• The screen selector doesnt work: The small fullscreen splashscreen is gone but MP still wont start on monitor 2 if selected.
  Splashscreens (Basic and Fullscreen) and MP (window and fullscreen) starts always at the main monitor 1.
• The taskbar wont disappear on main monitor 1 if MP has been started in window mode AND i directly switch to fullscreen before i entered a section (music, video, TV). After entering one of these sections the taskbar disappears. After the taskbar has disappeard the first time, it always disappears when it should until i close and start MP again...its really a small issue i think

While testing i recognized all the error messages caused by the missing tv-service connection (i reported that a few days ago but i forgot to give you more feedback). I attached the logs here. The logged error messages have no real effect of working with MP except that the missing tv server connection slows down MP startup by 8 seconds and throwing this error messages onto the hdd but maybe these errors should be handled correctly?!? Dont know...

Could someone point me to the latest mp.exe for testing? I've lost the overview.

This was not what i meant, but thanks anyway. Found it in Post # 703.

i found another issue...i replaced the mediaportal.exe (org v18a build) with the newest one you posted here. MP crashes at startup every time i try.
Logs are attached.

Also tried your exe from post # 714.
I can't confirm crashing, but Fullscreen splashscreen is now also broken.
It show up on primary Screen, instead of the chosen one and resolution is also not fitting.

Just to let you guys know: https://github.com/MediaPortal/MediaPortal-1/commit/d3b868637ebde55811c078ac47478d8007c7463c

I have created following branch based on that commit. I tried to make it as merge friendly as possible. https://github.com/MediaPortal/Medi...Unable_to_start_MediaPortal_on_old_Intel_GPUs

We need to have that in master / 1.4.0 in case the refactoring task is not ready for 1.4.0 as we dont want cause the regression for Intel 3xxx GPU users.

Did some testing re: away mode and cannot see any regression (I see some oddities in how MP handles it but no different to 1.3 )

When media is playing sleep button puts the machine into away mode (single seat only with powerscheduler enabled on both TV service and MP). With no media playing it goes straight to sleep. Will do some more testing and if I get very brave will move this onto my living room PC
