[QUOTE="JBravo, post: 880635, member: 60015"] I gave up audio over HDMI, and took the easy way out using an optical spdif for audio... I submitted an issue about this, after some threads, see [url]https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/threads/bass-player-does-not-reinitialize-sound-device.103717/[/url] . The issue is still in 'confirm' state. I think it would be possible for MP to reinit the audio device when it's lost, so at least it will be possible to hit play again instead of restarting MP to recover the audio device. Regarding the the well known & dreaded half screen issue, this issue is also directly releated to Win 7 monitor detection feature [url]http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en/w7itprogeneral/thread/8a9b5aa7-fe33-4e6d-b39b-8ac80a21fdc2[/url] What happens is when the the HDMI display is lost Win 7 tries the VGA display (1024x768) and then switches back to the HDMI (720p) display. Couldn't MP e.g. ignore OnSizeChanged events when in fullscreen (by the way MP always ends up in windowed mode, according to the logs, after such event.). My point here is that it's hard to make MS change the default behavior of Win 7, and I think that applications such as MP needs to do the best out of the situation. [/QUOTE]
