Title: Windows 8.1 , Dual monitors, two accounts and jriver issue?
Post by: robgil on August 17, 2014, 04:41:38 am

I want to put jriver on its own monitor and the desktop and startscreen on another. Will switching between user accounts effect jriver, if say a film was being watched? and if both accounts are signed out of would I still be able to run jriver?
 I'm searching Google but not finding much. Just wondering if anyone has had a problem with this yet?

Switching accounts affects both screens. Once you switch, video playback will most likely stop, or at the very least go into the background.

That's pretty much left me dead in the water then, is there anyway to make it work do you think apart from buying another PC? I was planning on buying a Microsoft Surface but having priced them up and seeing how small they are I thought a second monitor would be cheaper and bigger, if I could make it work.
