[QUOTE="Gilean, post: 961470, member: 136561"] You are right, that's my goal as well. I don't mind if some feature I like exists as plugin and not as core feature, as long as it exists! :) Besides, it's nice to tinker with Mediaportal (and plugin) settings, although they can be a bit overwhelming at first... Ahh now that makes sense. Somehow I have always thought that if you clone a display, all pixels are drawn twice, so I never thought that the actual "work" is only done once and then sent to 1-n outputs. So it makes sense that sending does not consume much power at all compared to graphics encoding process itself. What do you know, you always learn something new, thanks for that info both of you! :) Anyway, that got my interest so I will do some temp & power consumption measurements after I finally plug my system to my TV on the wall and projector, as now I have my HTPC connected to my bedroom TV (and that is only HD-ready) that I carried on my livingroom table because it's easier to tweak Mediaportal and all the settings when TV is not that far away...
