Title: Tree & View not giving option for TV
Post by: thane108 on March 24, 2017, 10:26:55 am

I switched theater view back to my PC from my TV the other day and now I can't switch it back to the TV.

Under Tree & View I only have the option of selecting monitor (a check box) or not.  My TV is no longer an option.  I have used Tree & View in the past to go back and forth for Theater View between my desktop and my TV.

I backed up the library, un-installed, then installed and restored my library.  But I still don't see the option for opening theater view on my TV.

The only work around I found was to use my mouse in windows to drag JRiver across to the TV so that it always opens on the TV - not ideal as I do most of my maintenance at the PC and I would have to physically walk to the other room with my wireless mouse, etc.

Please help.

If you're using DLNA to play to your TV, the playback devices are under Playing Now.

If you're playing directly to the TV as a monitor, explore the Windows settings for dual monitors.

Thanks, Jim

I'm using the TV as a second monitor - I checked the Nvidia settings and I think I have that correct.  I'll take a look at the windows settings.

Jim - both Nvidia control panel and Windows display recognize the PC monitor and TV, and both are set to extended, but JRiver Tree & View only gives me a choice to check a box labeled "monitor".

I have done a complete un-install and re-install of JRiver, and then I restored the library.  That' didn't help.

I assume you mean to check windows display to make sure it is extended - is there something else I can check?

thanks

Exact same behaviour...
I have JRiver installed on two laptops and both of them were displaying the option to select TV (in Tree & View - Fullscreen) and now I only have checkbox "Monitor"
Nothing changed in my system, excepting moving from an older version to 22.0.97
I can't go to Theater View fullscreen in my TV anymore.
Thanks for any help!
