Hello,

I have a odd behaviour with this svn. When I start a movie or a recording, the movie doesn't start, instead the screen on the tv displays only the upper left quarter of the panel. I'm using a CRT with a resolution of 720x576@50hz in dualview mode, so MP starts an the secondary screen.

This works well with svn 20010, I could reproduce it. It also works fine if I'm displaying on my primary display or in windowed mode. Looking into the logs I think I have the necessary hint. This is how it looks, when it works:

and this when it doesn't:

The main difference is the 50Hz vs 60Hz. I assume that somewhere these 60Hz may be hardcoded or overridden. Probably this issue is quite specific, but the behaviour seems to be new to this or the previous svn.

Any ideas?

Hello gibman,

I tried it out briefly - it works! The logfile shows 50Hz instead of 60Hz and the behaviour is good.

I really only replaced/added the three files (exe and dll), and did not dive into the configuration of different refresh rates - I must admit that I found this feature interesting and complicated. However I don't see any application for me right now as I don't have a mix of refresh rates in my media.

I could reproduce the error after reverting the three files to the 20143 svn version.

So I will start a long term test now and give You a hint if there is some misbehaviour here.
