Sorry if this has been asked and answered before but I haven't had any luck using the search facility.

I've recently bought a 22" Samsung TV which I've got hooked up as a second screen and GB-PVR works great with it. However, there are times when I'd like to start GB-PVR on my 24" Mitsubishi monitor (first screen) and I was wondering if there was any easy way - maybe using command line switches? - to have 2 icons on the desktop, one start GB-PVR on the first screen and one to start it on the second screen?

I know I could have two copies of config.xml and a batch file to swap them before running GB-PVR. Or I could write a small app that modifies config.xml before running GB-PVR, but I was hoping there might be an easier, more elegant solution.

Thanks in advance...

No, there is no command line option for this.

Ok. Thanks, Sub.

Maybe add it to the wishlist...? Possibly? Maybe? Smile (guess you might have to add a second command line switch for overriding the aspect ratio as well if the screens are different.)

BTW still not had any sync problems playing .ts files after installing your patch, so thanks for that as well.

Ultramon.
you can create a shortcut that tells it to launch on whichever monitor you choose, just make two.
MAIN RIG - Opteron 165 @2900MHz
2x1024 OCZ Platinum @ 480MHz (3.3.3.7)
HTPC - Athlon 64 3800+
2x512 Corsair XMS C2
ATI Theatre Pro 550 - MCE Blaster - Comcast Set Top Box
Hauppauge HVR-2250

Care to expand on this? Like explaining how when Sub says there aren't any command line switches to do this.

EDIT: Just sussed that Ultramon is a program. D'oh! :o

Two things, isn't ultramon shareware (i.e. they charge for it! :eekSmile and that it wouldn't take into account the different aspect ratios of the two screens, would it?

Might have a look at Ultramon anyway. See if it has any other goodies that might be useful.
