Hey forum,
Let me first apologize for double posting this. I tried to figure out how to move my previous identical posting (which was not getting any replies) but I can't even seem to do that right. Maybe the forum moderator can delete it if I don't figure it out first.
OK I think I need some help configuring My Netflix plugin. Any help would be greatly appreciated...
My problem:
I can't seem to get the MyNetflix plugin to play on my second monitor (TV).
Details:
When I load My Netflix it opens on both my computer and my monitor with no problems but when I try to play a movie from my instant que an IE window opens on my computer but nothing happens on my TV monitor. I wonder if I am doing something wrong or if this is just the way the program works. Since I have heard so many good things about this program I am assuming that I am doing something wrong or perhaps my hardware just doesn't support such a thing. Any ideas?
Some information that may or may not be useful:
Some years ago (using the exact same computer and hardware) I used to be able to watch streaming videos online which would play on my secondary monitor (TV) when I made them full screen on my computer browser. Now, since this didn't work with every online streaming video (for example, it streamed videos from ABC and FOX but not CBS) I assumed this was dependent not on my hardware but on the software used by these online sites. This no longer seems to work for any online streaming videos. I am assuming this is due to their software change and not my hardware limitations (perhaps it's a little of both?).
In an effort to improve computer performance I have disabled a lot of my computer services. I don't think that I have disabled anything that would make this streaming to my second monitor malfunction but I suppose it it a possibility.
In the meantime, I am considering updating my video card to something a bit more capabale so if it is a hardware issue I'd love some recommendations for a video card upgrade.
Hardware/Software I am running:
XP SP3
Nvidia GeForce FX 5200 (latest drivers and program management software)
Mediaportal 1.1.0 Final!!
Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance for any help anyone can give!
