Title: 2nd screen
Post by: 4BYE on July 20, 2017, 08:07:09 pm

Hello, I'm currently in the USA having a great vacation. I only have a problem with my laptop connected to the hotels TV's. I have tried a couple and when connected through HDMI Media Center 22 crashes when I start a movie. When I pull out the cable from laptop it plays like normal. In options I also choose 2nd screen etc. Any idea?

Has it ever worked?

On most laptops, you shouldn't need to set it as a second screen.  There are buttons to change the output to an external monitor.  Usually on the function keys.

It did with MC20. I tried second screen among all other things. The moment I have the HDMI cable plugged in and have two screens it crashes. I also tried to use the hotel's tv as the main screen, and put MC22 on hotel's TV screen and start from there. Never had troubles until now. I try today again in new hotel...
