    Hi,
    Thanks for this! I'm waiting for such a pluggin for years! I will test it in the incoming days.
    Is it possible to have the main (primary) screen 16/9 and the secondary 4/3?

    Yes , but the only 4:3 resolution is 1024x768.

    I will add more resolutions later

    Hi sa_ddam213

    I have a mysterious error with the plugin. As I have mentioned previous the videoinfo screen did not work, then after a MP crash the vidoeinfo screen started working. Now I had another crash and now the videoinfo screen is not working again... :-s

    When I play a video now (both movies and live-tv) all I get is the blueish background of the plugin and the top row of buttons with a black background.

    I have tried deleting all related files, both touchscreensettings.xml, touchscreensettings.xml.bak and MPTouch.dll, and then reboot before re-installing the latest version and I have also rebooted after installation. All with no result.

    Hi sa_ddam213

    New plug-in works on my XP. Although still having resolution problems.
    Touch screen resolution is 1024x768, plug-in is also configured to 1024x768 but does not fit, see attachment (screenshot from VNC)
    Keep on your great work

    Great Tool:D.

    The only question for the developer. Is it going to support DualScreen mode?

    The reason for this is that my HTPC has one full-HD TV and a 1360 TouchScreen and I´d like to have the full-HD resolution on my TV.

    Cheers

    Daniel

    Hi,

    sa_ddam213:
    thanks for this plugin and keep on your good work :D

    Gustavson:
    I had the same problem on my screen, the problem was that windows system font was set to 150% scale. The solution was to set it to 100% and screen now will fit perfectly.

    Found another bug in the plugin:

    When i have the plugin enabled and i start a webstream, the OSD doesn't show up, end then it's impossible to stop the radiostream from playing. Only way is to close MediaPortal.

    Easy to reproduce:
    1. Start a webstream with the plugin enabled
    2. Try to stop it again :)
