The screen jump and power control features look promising. However, it's not usefull for me because of -i think- i'm using two videocards. Here's my problem: i've got two radeon3850's and catalyst control center (v9.6). On gpu1, i've attached a lcd tv and a touchscreen, both in 720p clone-mode. On these displays MP runs in the living room. The actual pc is situated in another room (room2), where another lcd-monitor is attached to gpu2. This all works nice, i can do just about anything in windows on the lcd-monitor in room2 while mp runs simultaneously in the living room (have 2 audio outputs as well).With the screencontrol plugin enabled, this is no longer the case when mediaportal is not the active window. In this situation, the display in room2 stutters i.e. when moving the mouse it only updates every other second or so. When mediaportal is the active window, stuttering stops again. This seems like an extension of the 'known problem' in your manual.Furthermore i found a bug (maybe also related to 2 vidcards): i can move the brightness control slider in the plugin's configuration window, but it's value (default 128) does not change. Once i save settings and reload the plugin's configuration, the adjustments i made to the slider are implemented, but new adjustments -again- need closing and opening of the plugin's configuration. Also, the 'test brightness button' has no effect. I've tested adjusting the brightness from within the CCC, and this works just fine. Note: i tested this on the lcd-monitor in room2, while screen selector is configured to run mp in room1. Maybe this is the cause?To pile up my feedback even further, i've also got a feature request: add a screen-specific screensaver to screencontrol! This is THE missing feature in MP if you're asking me... Already being able to launch .exe's and having resolution control means this wouldn't be to difficult i guess...That's all for now <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" /> Keep up the good work!</blockquote>
