NEW: Theater View on Linux

XRRGetScreenResources
to get the number of screens and then for each screen it does:
XRRGetCrtcInfo
to get the height and width.
If this fails it drops back to:
XDisplayWidth and XDisplayHeight to get the primary display width and height.
Seems like xrandr is broken on your system.

It seems like in your case xrandr is reporting 0 screens connected which isn't handled nicely by MC before the fallback to the non-xrandr method of getting the screen size.
I'm guessing that's generating all of those messages you described.
I made a change in the next build such that if xrandr returns 0 screens found it will just go on to the non-xrandr method instead of trying to get the screens over and over.

So recently got tired of troubleshooting why Windows 10 broke my audio during an update. I decided to wipe my OS drive and load Linux on the same HTPC I've been flawlessly running for 5 or 6 years now. I upgrade to the Linux version of JRiver 28 and so far everything is working except this white screen issue.
Here's what happens. I select "Theater View" and see the theater view screen for a split second and then a white screen pops up over top of it. I can hit "Shift F-11" and it'll go back to standard view. If I select "Cover View" or "Display View" it will take me there, and then if I hit "Shift F-11" it takes me to Theater view and the white screen is gone. Any ideas?
I'm thinking this might be a glitch in the software but what do I know? I am not a programmer and I don't know crap about Linux yet, I'm an audio guy. I do know that we loaded Linux Mint. I can also say that I have tried everything I could find on this with white screen, black screen, blank screen. I've tried all of the settings in JRiver and with monitor settings. I tried 3 different video cards both NVIDIA and Radeon with the same results.
Oh, and for some reason, video is choppier now than before. Used to be much smoother when fading from one screen to another.
Thanks in advance,
Duane

Look in the Video settings and try the JRVR renderer with Hardware decoding enabled and see if that makes any difference.
Note that the nouveau x server has a lot of issues.
dswaggs:
I checked those settings and nothing made any difference.
I googled the nouveau x server and it seems to be in reference to NVIDEA drivers. I am using a Radeon card so I'm not sure if that matters.
It's strange that there is a way to get to Theater View but not directly by clicking on it.
