For whatever reasons, Managed DirectX could not get the capabilities of the device. Can you reproduce this?

At the moment we tried to get the capabilities, no D3D hardware device was present. Will catch this error for a proper error message.

But wonder why on your system....

It's that commit that break RDS support :
SHA-1: 8e8c14eb500205cf8ef7c1edf709f8c353bc89b7
* added debug logging of display and adapter information

That happens during startup only. Can I please have logs when you try to start MP over an RDP sessions. And please not will 10 different tests inside the logs like the last one. Only reproduce the issue with as few steps as possible.

I don't know what to say it's maybe random them

I just go to my HTPC with your build on it and i have see something strange :
HTPC was in S3 from yesterday and the wakeup (21H55) didn't work well.
Log attached + screenshot

Can you reproduce this?

As you see in the logs it worked as I started MP by hand. I restarted the PC now and MP came up without this error, so the short answer is: No I can't reproduce it on demand, sorry
But hopefully the logs help you to find a way that this can't happen again So far I'm pretty happy with your work

Hi!
Unfortunately the issue, i've reported in #92 doesn't seems to be fixed here! Log and Screenshot attached!

- System Specs used : PC
- How many displays : 2
- What resolution does each display use : LG 42LM660S/1920*1080 - Samsung 226BW/1152*864
- More than one GPU used : NO
- How are displays connected : LG -> HDMI - Samsung -> DVI
- How are they positioned : Screenshot
- Which one is the primary one : Screenshot
- On which do you start MP : On Display #2 (LG 42LM660S)
- Where is the taskkbar positioned of Windows : On Display #1
- Screenshot of the whole windows desktop when it is wrong. Not just MP, that does not elp me.
- Skin Used : Default wide

Best regards
Helios

Let's check what MP got:

[2013-04-23 08:21:58,103] [Log	] [MPMain  ] [DEBUG] - Display: \\.\DISPLAY1 - IsPrimary: True - BitsPerPixel: 32 - Bounds: 1152x864 @ 0,0 - WorkingArea: 1152x824 @ 0,0
[2013-04-23 08:21:58,103] [Log	] [MPMain  ] [DEBUG] - Display: \\.\DISPLAY2 - IsPrimary: False - BitsPerPixel: 32 - Bounds: 1920x1080 @ -1920,0 - WorkingArea: 1920x1080 @ -1920,0
[2013-04-23 08:21:58,200] [Log	] [MPMain  ] [DEBUG] - Adapter #0: Intel(R) HD Graphics - Driver: igdumd32.dll (9.17.10.3062) - DeviceName: \\.\DISPLAY1
[2013-04-23 08:21:58,200] [Log	] [MPMain  ] [DEBUG] - Adapter #1: Intel(R) HD Graphics - Driver: igdumd32.dll (9.17.10.3062) - DeviceName: \\.\DISPLAY2

So we got two displays here.
Primary with 1162x864 and a secondary 1920x1080 that is positioned to the left of the primary. Matches your description and what I see from the screenshot.

[2013-04-23 08:21:58,350] [Log	] [SplashScreen] [INFO ] - SplashScreen: Splash screen is using screen: \\.\DISPLAY2 (Position: -1920,0 Dimensions: 1920x1080)
[2013-04-23 08:21:58,369] [Log	] [MPMain   ] [INFO ] - Main: MP is using screen: \\.\DISPLAY2 (Position: -1920,0 Dimensions: 1920x1080)

Both Splashscreen and MP itself decided on the correct screen. Matches your screensshot as we on the right screen.

Then we have endless repetitions of WM_GETMINMAXINFO probably because the system is not yet ready, meaning the form is not displayed yet. Takes several seconds. Probably waiting for the TV Server or something.

Log file gets hammered with over 40K lines of entries, where Windows is waiting for us.

MP keeps battling with Windows to set the size to 1920x1080, but Windows refuses.

Hmmm... I think I have an idea... 4:3 primary display vs. 16:9 display vs. 16:9 skin.

[I just go to my HTPC with your build on it and i have see something strange :
HTPC was in S3 from yesterday and the wakeup (21H55) didn't work well.
Log attached + screenshot

Can you compile my branch and test again please? That is a clear regression.

Can you reproduce this?

As you see in the logs it worked as I started MP by hand. I restarted the PC now and MP came up without this error, so the short answer is: No I can't reproduce it on demand, sorry

I'll add a re-try loop. Looks like the GPU driver when MP was autostarted was not yet fully up and running. Probably some display driver software was autostarted setting D3D temporarily into a softwar only mode for a couple of ms.

Question is after what time should I assume that we do not have a hardware device available? What do you guys think is a reasonable timeout?

It seems to be related to screen selector but i'm not sure
I will retry i have 2 install on htpc, my fork (based on you work) and your build sorry, i messed up both

 

[Sebastiii]

I just retry, this time it's fullscreen but mp is freezed. (need to kill it)
Will retry tomorrow after the htpc goes to sleep by itsefl, maybe it will make a diff compared to this test

 

[Sebastiii]

hmmm sorry, i didn't see that you commit/push into your branch
I will retest with your last fix
thanks.

- System Specs used : Core2Duo, Nvidia 9500GT
- How many displays : 1
- Skin Used : Any, Defaultwide in logs
Start any video, press X so the video is a small preview window, then ALT-Enter. All text and thumbnails disappear.

It should look like this,
.
Changing to any other screen (homescreen, pictures etc) results in a mostly blank screen with just the preview window showing.
Further switching between fullscreen/windowed doesn't fix the glitch.
Using other skins results in MP hanging completely, or throwing an error box "Can't create D3D device".

Just updated to latest build in first post, still having issue with it opening not fullscreen.

Installed Update --> launched fine --> put to sleep --> woke up and its not full screen

Appear mediaportal may have frozen, its not responding to any input in the halfscreen.
tried a 2nd time with same results, 3rd and 4th attempt worked as it should.
