Scythe42's fixes for 1.4.0 (6 Viewers)

[mbuzina]

Just tried this latest build an my laptop (Intel 3000). Startup works, multi-display issue as follows:
1. started MP on primary screen, OK
2. go to windowed mode, OK (took long, but OK)
3. Moved window to secondary screen, OKisch (windows resized to a much smaller size)
4. Went Fullscreen again, Not OK (original resolution was used, image is now wide than the 2ndary screen)

Config
Primary: Laptop Display 1600x900 internal on Intel (right)
Secondary: ASUS Monitor 1440x900 VGA on Intel (left)
Gfx: Intel HD 3000 Internal + NVIDIA NVS 4200M (not used)
Startbar: Both (Win 8)

See screenshots.

P.S.: Same happens when I let Screen Selector start MP on 2nd screen directly.

Hi,

I let running MP on my DEV PC (for music to eventually spot an issue) and from work i just take control over it (Remote Desktop) and MP seems freeze.
I attached log if @Scythe42 can spot anything

Very unusual usage case. Should be fixed if possible, but does this happen in 1.3.0 ?

We should be careful about delaying these fixes (which will benefit most users) in order to fix a couple of unusual cases.

I very often take control on my PC HTPC / DEV etc.
It's working with 1.3.0Final

Hope log will helps

Hi,

I just retry remote desktop and freeze again lol.

@Scythe42, i have a question maybe already answered but i didn't find where lol :

MP in windowed mode can't go outside the screen, for example you need to move it @ bottom to get something on desktop, that's not possible compared to 1.3.0Final.

Is it possible to do something about it ?
Thanks

 

[Scythe42]

Nope, window cannot leave the boundaries of the desktop or other problems will show up again I included on your reports.

But you should be able to nicely move it inside the desktop where every you want. If you need it to go away, then minimize it, but moving to coordinates that are not covered by any screen is not possible.

 

[Sebastiii]

So new request then

Is it possible to keep the mouse cursor fixed (at the same place on mp windowed) when we hit the boundaries of the desktop ?
Actually when we hit the boundaries of the desktop the mouse continue to move.

Arggg i don't know how explain that !!!!!

 

[FreakyJ]

that was already discussed xD I think you were the guy who asked it already xD It was made by intention, because scythe thought it would confuse more people if the mouse stuck ...

you requested exactly the same here

What left from me :
#1 : As soon as we drag the window to a 'fixed' border of the monitor, the cursor continue to move to the edge

EDIT:
oh sorry, you say in both posts the same Edited post

 

[FreakyJ]

Scythes answer to this:

Resizing is aspect ratio safe, the mouse cursor still can move on X or Y axis. Cosmetic issue that is inherent to Windows itself (OSX would never allow such a glitch!).

You see the same with a ton of video players as well. I was under the impression that users know what this is. I feared not allowing them to move the cursor even more will confuse them. Obviously I was wrong. Will change that.

Bah now, i feel idiot lol

For sure, i prefer (for me) have a fixed mouse, because when we hit border, if we want to move again the MP window that looks strange.
The strange thing is with wmp/mpc-hc etc, i didn't see such thing lol

I'm lost
