Using shortcuts to change screen and resolution makes MediaPortal goes all BLACK! (1 Viewer)

[PussyWagon]

Im using two different shortcuts on my desktop to switch between two displays. It makes it switch screen and resolution in one double click, very nice...

I want to integrate this to MediaPortal and used MultiShortcut to make 2 shortcuts in Plugins. When entering one of theese it switches display and resolution all fine, But MediaPortal goes all black and im seeing nothing but black.
I have to use ALT+F4 to exit MediaPortal and then i have an error message. Then I start it again and its just fine.

Is there any way to fix this, or is it something else I can do to make this work?
I really want this to work as Im using my projection screen for movies and my Touch Screen for Music and I want it to be easy to switch between displays within MediaPortal.


Thanks for all your help out there!

What you have to do is make MediaPortal to restart when changing resolution and output.
You can do this either in your bat file or within Multishortcut. Just point to the file "restart.vbs" in MediaPortal directory and it will restart.
Thats the only way I know about but that way works very fine!
