Hello.
I´m having issues using this version. I have 3 monitors and 1 TV connected to my PC. The tv is connected using hdmi.

When I set mediaportal to show the tv screen with screen selector set to TV, media portal starts like a charm. TV is showing and everything is fine.

But, if I select a window on one of the other screens, media portal minimizes the TV view and I´m left looking at my wallpaper. The sound however, continues. If I click the icon for mediaportal the sound stops. Then I can press the mediaportal icon again and mediaportal is back fullscreen, with the TV guide screen open. I can then start watching a channel again, but once I select a different window, the same thing happens.

II have attached logs where I have started mediaportal - started tv - selected another window - pressed mediaportal icon - pressed mediaportal again and closed mediaportal.

Oh, and I am running in multiseat

Re: multiple monitor problem / Screenselector is broken

Hi,

I can confirm this problem too - i've got 4 monitors and the previous behavior in 1.02 which was good was just to allow the focus to switch.

When you click on the icon in the start bar to re-launch it, it pauses the live TV even though it has been running without screen view.

I then tried using the screenselector and it appears this functionality doesn't work correctly any more. Here's why:
- When you select one monitor, it doesn't actually bring it up on the right screen
- It sits launching at the "Loading window plugins stage"

Ok. It is some sort of codec problem I think. Downloaded saf5 betal for test today and then I can use my other screens while watching tv / videos

I had this when using VMR9 in exclusive mode (MS Codecs, may more? forgot) . Dont happen with EVR, or VMR without exclusive mode.
