Dynamic refresh rate under Windows 10 (I've an Amd video card) (3 Viewers)

[red5goahead]

Main desktop should be used as proper definition. imho

Main desktop seems be mainly AMD naming, Primary is what others like Intel / Nvidia call it which is bit more clear imo

Ok, your call..

Here we go for the installer
MP1 -- MP1-4669-BUG-Adding_better_detection_of_monitor_name_EDID complete!
http://tinyurl.com/q4uyexu

This time we have a new option (i would prefer to avoid it but sometimes, the first item is not always the primary, so i decide to force it).
When debugging, i notice that in rare case the screen selected on MP side can be the wrong one, so i change it and hope it's ok now.

So to summarize :

1- We can tell MP to always start on default primary screen.
2- Set MP to always stay in fullscreen and then don't handle the eventual Windows message when screen goes off and on (that part of code didn't change from previous version)
3- Fix the wrong monitor that can be selected if no device id was detected (rare case).

Enjoy

@Sebastiii note that I checked the new option but I left marantz-AVR item in the start screen lookup.

MP start on Asus , right, but the splash screen is displayed on the tv plasma connected to the Marantz Avr (extended), wrong

It's a bug,that I've intentionally tested, I'm sorry...

 

[Sebastiii]

Yep i have fixed it too
I notice it that splashscreen use is own screendetection too, i didn't make a new installer but i can do it for tomorrow

 

[Sebastiii]

In fact in 10 minutes installer will be ready

There are several start e stop . the usual issue related to thread was fired at last , circa 13:05:40-44 timestamp

The options selected were these, the primary monitor when the MP start wasn't ASUS but the other one, the primary screen when MP was started (Marantz-AVR/Plasma tv)

 

[Sebastiii]

You can higher the MP configuration and we can see what screen are Yes or No (for primary).
But i'm not sure to understand you.

You mean MP should start on Primary screen but it start to the non-primary screen ?

 

[Sebastiii]

From log it seems to start to the correct one :
Display: \\.\DISPLAY2 - IsPrimary: True

Splashscreen too :
[2015-10-04 12:57:24,688] [Log ] [SplashScreen] [INFO ] - SplashScreen: Splash screen is using screen: \\.\DISPLAY2 (Position: 0,0 Dimensions: 1920x1080)

But you run into :
[2015-10-04 13:05:59,802] [Log ] [MPMain ] [ERROR] - Exception: Errore dell'applicazione.
-2005530520 (D3DERR_DEVICELOST)

in MediaPortal.Player.RefreshRateChanger.SetRefreshRateBasedOnFPS(Double fps, String strFile, MediaType type)
in MediaPortal.Player.RefreshRateChanger.AdaptRefreshRate()
in MediaPortal.Player.g_Player.OnStopped()

And MP doesn't like it and i didn't succeed to a proper recover (need mp to restart).

So here is seems that Windows disconnect monitor or re-detected it or maybe the non primary screen was set briefly to primary because screen was disconnected .

Not sure if we can do something about it.
