[QUOTE="mpurtone, post: 1031359, member: 56664"] I did some further testing... The original test was done with my monitor as primary and TV as secondary display with MP on the secondary display. Both displays had their refresh rate set at 60Hz but naturally there are some minor differences between the real refresh rates. I switched the displays from control panel so that now the TV was primary and monitor secondary. MP was again on the secondary display (i.e. the monitor this time) and both displays were set at 60Hz. Now the avatar clip played almost without dropped frames but the render time did jump from ~2ms to ~14ms somewhere around midway of playback. I then changed the primary display (TV) refresh rate to 50Hz and ran the test again (with MP still on the secondary display i.e. the monitor which was still at 60Hz). This time MP was constantly dropping huge amounts of frames. For reference I ran the same test with MPC-HC and again it played back the clip with just a couple of frames dropped at the beginning. All this would indicate that MediaPortal is always synchronizing playback with the primary display refresh rate, even if it is running on the secondary display. Mikko [/QUOTE]
