I have an old CRT TV with the usual overscan, and I have noticed that UI calibration doesn't work when I initially start MediaPortal. Starting TV and stopping it again applies the calibration tho.
With the recent core.dll I didn't get a TV picture - only sound, until I did the same. Stopping and starting again.

I have two screens connected to the PC, the TV at 1024x576 (Secondary) and a VGA screen at 1024x600 (Primary) (edit:is1024x768). MP is on the TV - secondary screen. I use the screenselector setting to make it start on the TV.

Going through the logs I saw this:

Main: Initializing DirectX
D3D: Starting fullscreen
D3D: Client size: 1024x603 - Screen: 1024x576

GraphicContext: Loading settings from C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\ScreenCalibration1024x603.xml

and:

PlaneScene: crop T, B  : 0, 0
PlaneScene: crop L, R  : 0, 0
PlaneScene: video WxH  : 720x576
PlaneScene: video AR   : 16:9
PlaneScene: screen WxH : 1024x603
PlaneScene: AR type    : Stretch
PlaneScene: PixelRatio : 1
PlaneScene: src        : (0,0)-(720,576)
PlaneScene: dst        : (0,0)-(1024,603)

No video on TV - just audio.

Stopping TV and starting it again gives:

GraphicContext: Loading settings from C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\ScreenCalibration1024x576.fs.xml

and:

PlaneScene: crop T, B  : 0, 0
PlaneScene: crop L, R  : 0, 0
PlaneScene: video WxH  : 720x576
PlaneScene: video AR   : 16:9
PlaneScene: screen WxH : 1024x576
PlaneScene: AR type    : Stretch
PlaneScene: PixelRatio : 1
PlaneScene: src        : (0,0)-(720,576)
PlaneScene: dst        : (0,0)-(1024,576)

The video is working

Setting the TV as primary screen works tho:

Main: Initializing DirectX
D3D: Starting fullscreen
D3D: Client size: 1024x576 - Screen: 1024x576

...and the rest works as expected.

So, my guess is that the ScreenSelector setting is missed somewhere during initialization.
For now I can have the TV as the primary screen, but it would be nice to have this resolved

Re: Screenselector uses wrong screen for settings

I just noticed i had 1024x768 as VGA. But the rest is correct :-P
