[QUOTE="seco, post: 193374, member: 54595"] I'm using Mediaportal's screen selector feature to start MP in fullscreen mode on my secondary display which is 42" Mirai LCD TV. I've ran into two problems with this setup: 1. Stuttering: TV and video (for example .mkv files) stutter about 3-4 second interval, pause is very quick but it is disturbing. Stuttering is clearly visible if I set DirectX exclusive mode OFF: Every time the picture stutters, tearing occurs. I've tried several x264 and mpeg2 decoders. 2. Artifacts in picture: Blinking bright green artifact (one pixel wide, two pixels high) in the middle of the screen, sometimes another in top-middle of the screen. Artifact(s) is/are not blinking always, but quite often. If I set DirectX exclusive mode OFF this problem is gone, but then I get tearing. And no, these are not dead pixels, because my TV actually has one and it's nothing like same :) And finally: If I configure MP to start on my primary display which is Viewsonic 22" TFT both problems are GONE. If I play video files directly with Mediaplayer Classic on my primary or secondary display, no problems at all. Another weird thing is that sometimes the log file says "Main: DX exclusive mode: False" even if I've enabled it in configuration file.
