Open MP on Windows Startup Screen Size (1 Viewer)

[waubeno52]

I am having an issue trying to set the setting to have MP open on Windows startup. Everything works fine when I start up Windows without that option checked, but with that option checked when I startup windows and MP opens automatically my screen resolution seems to be off, the text for everything is too big and the video is zoomed in as well. I looked around in th forums and setting with no luck. Any help would be great!

Hi waubeno52

Sounds like your video drivers are not fully initiliased at MP's startup, to work around this, go to MP config\general\startup resume settings and enable the delay startup, lets say 15 seconds.
See if that resolves it, if not increase by 5 secs.

Good luck

Thanks PD...I did give that a try. I stated at 15 seconds and did increments of 5 up to 25 with no luck. Still the same results. I tried both way with ant without the checkbox that says "upon MP startup" Any other ideas? I looked in the streamedMP settings and nothing looked like it would change that, same in MP Config...

Does this also happen with DefaultWide skin!!

After that we would need logs, see my sig on how, and upload and attach using forum advanced + feature.

Just tried that in Default wide with the same effect. I will provide logs but just need to know where to find them. DO you just want me to copy/paste text into here from the logs? Just let me know where to find them and I will do that.

Thanks

Does the actual screen resolution of your desktop change, or is it the same resolution but with overscan or is just the MediaPortal GUI 'oversized'? (Maybe provide a screenshot.)

 

[waubeno52]

I was thinking I should provide a screenshot, but I have to get ready for work, so I will do it later. But for now to explain it better its just seems like the fonts in the gui or the gui in general gets bigger, but none of the screen gets cut off, so I don't think its an overscan issue, just the icons and fonts are bigger and because they are the kind of overlap each other...will provide a screenshot and logs soon....

Screenshot F11 with MP running, files saved to mediaportal folder found in your Windows Pictures folder hth.

Here are 6 screenshots...first three are of how it is with MP open on windows startup with oversized font...I added the other three to show what it normally looks like just in case you need it.

Ok can see your problem, just a couple of questions, what is your screen resolution, also have you got windows dpi settings enlarged, ie not 96dpi.

After that we need logs to try and find out why this is happening (see my sig)
