MediaPortal does not respond to display resolution change (1 Viewer)

[Tropics]

I have the problem that my mediaportal installation does not respond in any way to display resolution change. I need to switch between a monitor (dvi, 1680x1050) and a projector (hdmi, 1920x1080) from time to time and media portal refuses to see that change (or adjust to it). The switch is done by turning on the projector. MediaPortal then displays on the projector, but using the wrong resolution. The display is still 1680x1050 at the top left corner.
When I then close and restart MediaPortal, it displays correctly using the full resolution. However, when I then turn off the projector, it displays on the smaller monitor again, but again with the wrong resolution. The lower right part is then cropped.
Iirc, this worked correctly with version 1.3 but did also not work with 1.5.

I have an AMD system (ASUS M3N78-VM motherboard) with nVidia 8200 chipset, which handles the graphics.

This has nothing to do with standby or resume.

I made some log files but you can't really see anything there since there is no error occuring. It just behaves incorrectly. I switched to the hdmi output at 1:45pm and switched back on 1:50pm.

I'm sorry if this is a trivial switch I missed, but I've been searching for a solution for a long time now.

Hello Tropics

Can't find the JIRA issue at present but I'm pretty sure this is a known limitation.

Hi mm,

Thanks for confirming finally that I am not stupid. For me this always was (and still is) a quite important feature, so I don't think "known limitation" really fits ... especially since it worked once (1.3 iirc) I see it more as a kind of serious bug. This problem means that I have to exit mediaportal and restart it multiple times a day.

Aloha, Tropics

Hi,
Your log is not set to Debug or it was not full log lol.
If you are running 1.6.0 Final you could try v16 bin there :

There is some change to adapt screen (i tested it when use remote desktop (for debugging purpose) and also when switched off / on screen).

That fixed it, thanks a lot! (at least on first try, will keep an eye on that)
