I have a TV and video projector connected to my HTPC and they use different resolutions. It would be great to have a quick way to change the screen MP uses (quicker than quitting MP, going manually to config and using screenselector). Is it possible to for example map one key in remote controller to restart MP so that it would start by using "the other" screen?

I know that if you have dualview active the nvidia drivers give you an option when you right click on a taskbar tab "Send to screen x" I think you can also map these options to a hotkey, so your best bet may be to use the IR server suite and map the hotkey to make the change.

This is all speculation. I think you ahve a good idea but I've never actually tried to set this up myself (although now you've given me the idea..._

My video card is Radeon based, I haven't seen similar option. I also wonder if a sudden change in resolution makes MP unhappy?

_o/ I would like to see this feature working also. I have old crt 4:3 and videoprojector 16:9 attached to my htpc. For now I'm using the clone mode from my nvidia 7600. I have flattened the picture from my monitor options to match more 16:9 display.
Btw the send to screen x does not work. If I'am watching the tv in full screen the send feature only sends one frame to another display and the resolution is from the other display.
