[QUOTE="martijn_online, post: 62799, member: 21391"] I have a similar problem. See report below (1) and my work around (2). Is the MP team looking at this problem? I would like to use the internal player again. Its a pitty it is not solved in the 0.2.0.0 release. I had the same problem with RC4. Regards, Martijn [i]1) MP report[/i] [b]Area[/b]: Media Portal Program [b]MediaPortal Version[/b]: 0.2.0.0 (2006-07-03) [b]MediaPortal Skin[/b]: MCE [b]Windows Version[/b]: Windows XP (SP2) [b].NET CLR Version[/b]: 2.0.50727 [b]DirectX Version[/b]: 4.09.00.0904 (9.0c) [b]Audio Codec[/b]: - [b]Video Codec[/b]: - [b]CPU Type[/b]: Intel Celeron - 2.93GHz [b]Memory[/b]: 255 MB [b]Motherboard[/b]: Gypsum (MSI) [b]TV Card Model[/b]: - [b]TV Card Type[/b]: - [b]TV Card Driver[/b]: - [b]Video Card Model[/b]: Nvidia Geforce 7300 GS (256 MB) [b]Video Card Driver[/b]: 91.31_winxp2kmce_international_whql [b]Video Card Resolution[/b]: 800x600 [b]Video Render Type[/b]: - [b]Audio Card Model[/b]: Realtek High Definition Audio [b]Audio Card Driver[/b]: - [b]Synopsis:[/b]: No full screen video with internal player (Divx, MPEG etc) if 'exclusive directx mode'' is on. In this situation MP has no blank video screen if the screen mode is turned from Normal to Original (right click on screen, change the screen size). If ''exclusive directx mode'' is turned off full screen is working but the screen is from time to time disturbed (tearing?). So it has no acceptable quality. Other apps like Windows media player & Classic Media Player have no problems with Full screen mode (see also 'Work around') Installed the latest NVIDIA driver without results. [i]2) Work around[/i] - downloaded Media Player Classic (MPC) - see [url]http://www.free-codecs.com/Media_Player_Classic_download.htm[/url] - created C:\program files\Classic Media Player directory - put the Media Player Classic executable in this new directory - started the MediaPortal setup - opened Movies > MoviePlayer - turned on the option 'use external player' - used Browse button to set the path - set te parameters to %filename% /fullscreen - closed the setup After clicking a movie in MP the MPC is started at full screen mode. If you want to stop: double click on the screen so the full screen mode is turned off. Then you can close MPC with OK [/QUOTE]
