Hi all - I have had this problem for a while and seeking some clairty.
Setup
Office Display (DVI>HDMI) Mon#1
Living Room Display (DVI) Mon#2
Both displays 1920x1080 @ 60hz
Problem
Working on Office, I play video in Living room using Detached Display, to allow myself access to MC for tagging while family watches.
Video becomes out of sync (MKV mostly) unless Videoclock or Auto-Change is enabled. When enabled, Office display changes resolution and is unusable due to lag.
Forgive me, but IIRC it was really the Auto-Change that helped the most, but in conjunction with VideoClock.
Attempted Solutions
1. Video>Jump To Monitor 2 - then I lose ability to work on Office Display
2. Enable Auto-Change - results in Office Display go gray and become laggy while Living room display looks worse than ever
3. Move MC to Living Room Display and run from there - results in good playback and office display is unaffected.
I'd like to avoid solutions like using two instances of MC, and #1 and #2 above as they are not an option, cumbersome, or affect using JRemote (and read-only database on one).
Detached Display is such a great feature, but I can't figure out how to use it best. Obviously for reference video viewing I would simply move over MC and use JRemote. But the day to day is proving a problem.
thanks for any advice - it seems like when using Detached Display for Option #2 it is grabbing settings for Monitor 1 but the display is moved over to Monitor 2, so it's a mis-match?
