Have a problem with refresh rate changes under Windows 7. If I play a 50hz MKV or watch TV (PAL) when MediaPortal tries to switch resolutions the screen goes black. If I hit ctrl-alt-del it comes back. I can navigate back to menu in MediaPortal etc.

If I switch renderer to VMR9, it looks like its switched refresh rates but it hasn't. It sticks at 60hz but I still have picture.

If I exit full screen from PediaPortal using alt-enter then window is black. Only top menu is usable.

Any ideas?! Always worked in VIsta x64.

BTW: This is same with resolutions vice versa. ie, if I already have the refresh rate at 50hz before I start MP, I can watch TV and PAL MKVs no problem. If I watch an NTSC mkv it tries to switch and goes black.

I see this is a known bug. Is it fixed in the SVN?

0002401: internal refresh rate change is not working under windows 7 - MediaPortal Bugtracker

MANTIS shows you the current state of development.
So as you can see its not solved yet.
But changing refresh rate by external utilily dc.exe is working under W7

Ive read that doesn't work very well at all here:

hopefully this will get fixed soon! This is the best feature of MediaPortal I think. in the UK having 50hz TV and 23.98 Blu-rays is a pain without this feature working. I imagine its the same in many European countries.

Should be fixed in latest public SVN
