MediaPortal hangs when I turn on the TV (1 Viewer)

[samyarbid]

If I turn my TV off while live TV is still active and later turn it back on, MediaPortal looks like it was resized to a quarter of my resolution, hangs on a black screen, but outputs audio for a few minutes. Pressing any button on the remote or keyboard then freezes MediaPortal completely (including audio) and I must kill the process or reboot in order to start watching TV again. Log attached.

Thanks very much Spooky! The solution at https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/728795-post256.html worked!

For all graphic driver configurations I changed the following:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\GraphicsDrivers\Configuration\xxx\00\PrimSurfSize.cx
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\GraphicsDrivers\Configuration\xxx\00\00\ActiveSize.cx
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\GraphicsDrivers\Configuration\xxx\00\yy\ActiveSize.cx

to 1920 (decimal) and

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\GraphicsDrivers\Configuration\xxx\00\PrimSurfSize.cy
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\GraphicsDrivers\Configuration\xxx\00\00\ActiveSize.cy
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\GraphicsDrivers\Configuration\xxx\00\yy\ActiveSize.cy

to 1080 (decimal).

Rebooted and it works perfectly!

Good, good . Did it also fix the hanging issue or just the "half/quarter fullscreen" issue?

It solved both
