When running in Fullscreen (or hairstyle) on my TV out (on my PC monitor it works) and then starting Timeshifting (CTRL P), MC crashes.

If doing this on my PC monitor, all fine, only when displaying via my TV Out (as extended desktop), it crashes

I have a Radeon 9600 TX. (resolution on PC 1280*1024, resolution on extended desktop (thus TV Out) 800*600)

I am not sure what the problem is, but hardware limitation may be the cause. With my Radeon 8500DV I can not even play TV on the TV (as extended desktop), but curiously I can put MC in time-shifting mode on the monitor, and then drag MC window to the TV. That is the only way I can see TV on the extended desktop. Trying to start TV directly in the extended desktop always results in a message saying I can only play it in one monitor (which is the primary display or the monitor). I am supprised that you can actually run TV in the extended desktop.

Does ATI Multimedia Center work correctly when time-shifting? On my machine, when setting my TV as extended desktop, I can not even run ATI's time-shifting, regardless where I put the program, the video is completely garbage.

With my PC (which is a brand new one from this week), ATI's Media center is not supplied.

I have Cyberlink's Powercinema standard delivered with it which works fine (also with timeshifting on my extended desktop).


I have a work around for MC ... I programmed Girder so when I push my "timeshift button" on my remote, MC switches back to MEGAME, starts timeshifting, waits for 5 seconds and switches back to Hairstyle.

This way it works fine. But if I do it via the menu in Hairstyle on my TV Out, it crashes

Some more information :

When on my monittor starting timeshifting, the Channel comes into Pauze and I can see a still picture of the last scene.

In TV Out I just get a black screen and after a few seconds it crashes. (it looks like it has trouble to show that still picture)

Other than that, the TV tuner and all other stuff in Hairstyle works perfect on my TV out. (my cable from my card to my TV is composite video (not svideo) and I have PAL as TV system.

Maybe it has something to do with setting MC to another monitor for full screen ? just guessing
