Hello,
I have been following MePo for well over a year, setting up a HTPC with it. All is working fine except the dual monitor support.
I am using a
Asus board m45e-Pro
ATI dual monitor onboard graphic
Mediaportal 1.3.0
A projector with 1920x1080
a touchscreen 1024x600 TFT
I would like to know if there is a solution to have the MePo control on the touchscreen monitor and the fullscreen playback on the projector?
The PC is only used for MePo, so primary and secondary display could be changed.
What did I try:
- Clone display: well this would work, but it's a massive loss in resolution (the only way working right now)
- Start MePo in window mode and shift it => not working
- MPDisplay++ (it's loosing track, nor working reliable)
- Mini display (this seems to be for "Mini Displays only")
- Overlay settings (as describes in 2005/2006) => not up to date any more
What I would like ideally:
have all the controls and static picture (maybe moving pic before selecting full screen) on the small TFT display and and fullscreen display on the projector.
Why:
I don't want to turn on the projector for selection CDs and Music, and I would like to use the small TFT display to schedule recordings and control the whole system.
I am really surprised by how far MePo has evolved and I thank all the developers for this. Unfortunately for me it's still missing this one topic (control monitor anf playback monitor) to be perfect. I hope the solution already exists.
Many greetings to all of you,
hope to resolve this issue soon
Georg
