Had the same issue with MC19 as well but finally decided to post the issue.  My goal is to setup 4 displays so I can watch 4 different football games so I setup 4 new zones. I can get the first two displays detached but when I go to detach the 3rd display the first display blacks out.

Attached is a picture of the display if that is useful.  The upper right quadrant is the first detached display. Also, attached the log.

Any thoughts or help would be appreciated.

I'm using the following components in my HTPC:

Motherboard - MSI Z87 MPower Flagship
Video Card - MSI GTX 760
DirecTV Tuner card - Hauppauge Colossus
OTA Tuner - SiliconeDust HDHomeRun Dual
DirecTV Genie

I just created 4 detached displays and was able to get it working. I created 4 new zones without copying any existing zone. I set the Audio Device to Null Output to make things as easy as possible. With all 4 videos playing, the CPU is only at 7%. I also right clicked each detached display and checked "Hide Borders" to make it look better.

I started by copying my Movie zone.

The convolution file for 14 channels being loaded 4 times might have been causing the issue. Delete the zones and try again with new zones that aren't copied. If not using Null Output, make sure you set each zone to use Internal Volume and then lower the Internal Volume or else it will get quite loud in the theater.  You can create the first one with Internal Volume or Null Output and then copy that zone.

I made the previous post at 5:58:38 and realized I needed to be at the bank by 6 pm to make a deposit. Hopped in my car and made it before they closed.  The three stoplights between the office and bank were all green.

Those must have been four very short blocks.

No luck with new zones. As soon as I launch the 3rd display, one blacks out.

It is possible there is a video driver problem.
