Thank you. Confirms my assumptions about about the adapter number when using different connections. Next build will have some more debug information in case it is not fully corrected with it.

I added a compromise: If on a toggle windowed/fullscreen mode the backbuffer size does not equal the skin size, the D3D device is reset.

Thank you - I'm sure the users will appreciate it

Pushed my changes to GIT.

Guess it is time for a new installer and check if this works better now for the reported multi-display setups. Guess we'll find out quickly. If some one of the team could be so nice and build one. I cannot do it at the moment.

Happy to do it later. The testers really need the NSIS installer so that they can update from the previous version.

New build in first post.

Did the users who reported problems with Intel graphics ever report back ?

Hi,

I have beeen merging your fix alongside the custom data grabber for a while, however when if I turn my TV and AVR off and back on again MP seems to crash, sometimes alt-F4 will close it, other times I have to kill the process.

Please find attached logs, I use multiseat so it only covers the client.

the logs should show the following
Open MP
Play TV channel
Turn TV off(also turns AVR off)
Turn TV on(also turns AVR on)
Presented with black screen
Alt F4.

Any help appreciated

Thanks

Hi,

two additional issues, sorry mixed in one article:

1) At around 18:30 PC was running and ?recording?. Then TV and AVR have been started with the combined "TV" function of the Logitech Harmony remote, which is something like the following, i am not fully sure about the order programmed: Power on TV, Power on AVR, Switch TV In to correct HDMI, Switch AVR to PC HDMI, send MCE TV command. => Media Portal displayed with small window in bottom left.
Note: In that moment also tray icon with some Norton Internet Security message popped up and vanished again. Can those popups impact Media Portal display mode? MP Client was then manually exited and started again.

2) At around 19:00 while PC was recording TV from 2 channels in parallel (from ZDF and Kika) i tried to watch live TV of one of these two channels, which should be possible to my knowledge. Did not work, always got a error message about the stream. Tried it several times, no success.
