PVRX2 loading on second monitor, but won't play video

[Daniel Bragg]

Gentlemen,

Thanks to you all - I'm almost there. Reinstalling WMP and the K-Lite Codec pack helped, but I think there's still one piece missing, and I've managed to distill it down to the "Runs on Second Monitor" option in the configuration.

When I have it Run in Window, it comes up on my main monitor fine, and I can drag it to my second monitor (I have "extended the desktop" to include the TV screen), and it will still run find, windowed. If I disable the Run in Window option, it comes up fine, fullscreen, on my computer screen.

However, if Run in Window is disabled, and I check Run on Second Monitor, then after PVRX2 starts up, it doesn't go anywhere, and seems to hang. I don't think it's trying to run on some non-existent third monitor, because my normal blind trick of Esc-Esc-UpArrow-Enter(repeat) doesn't get me out of it.

I have now (confirmed) that hardware acceleration is disabled for the video card that is outputting to the TV screen - any suggestions I could try?

Thanking you very much in advance,

Daniel

When you run pvrx2 in fullscreen you'll have to use the "VMR9 Fullscreen Exclusive" render, in windowed mode use VMR9 Custom.

Thank you for that, but it seems that changing to the "VMR9 Fullscreen Exclusive" render before attempting to start the PVRX2 on the TV full-screen didn't make any improvement, although when I figure out what the problem is, I'll be certain to use it (for now I'll stick to VMR9 Custom and Windowed, as that's the closest I can get so far.)

have you tried dragging the screen from left to right in display properties
i remember there is something weird you have to do

[Daniel Bragg]

Thanks for the try - putting my TV to the left of monitor 1 rather than the right made no difference.

Still trying things, may need to reinstall.
