Hi
Long time user of JRiver. Love the product but having some challenges in regards to what the best way to solve my issue..
So I wish I were a millionaire, the song goes - and so do I, but I am not so I have a combined Audio room and home cinema setup.
For the best possible solution in my Audio setup I have a 27 inch touch screen that allows me to easily navigate my music. Works like a charm.
For my home cinema I basically do the same. My media files are installed on my server and I can access them via JRiver and select via the touch
interface. Now the challenge is that my touch monitor are like 99.99% of all monitors not base on an OLED panel - so even when it goes black it still
lights up the room. Have been trying to solve this fairly simple issue but it really gives me headache.
If I turn off the monitor and only have my projector as the only screen somethings happens and I need to enter display setup before it will look ok.
This happens even though both are of the same resolution.
So does anyone have a good solution for some automated way to do this? I cannot only run on the Projector based on my need for an Audio setup.
Look forward to getting some good ideas.
Thanks

A sheet of thick black paper to put on the screen of your touch display would solve the problem.

that is a grand idea to stop the lits up....

ok - a black piece of paper or cardboard may solve it but it is not a very elegant solution. Was hoping someone had a better idea than that.
No other inputs? Surely other people must have done this setup. After all why have a touch skin (obsidian touch) that is designed for touch..

Is the touch screen set up as the primary display in a dual monitor display?
Have you set it to automatically turn off after some period of time?
Have you considered using one of the remote solutions instead? https://wiki.jriver.com/index.php/Remotes
I don't know if you can solve the problem by doing that. I'm only trying to offer an option.

I believe most people use a remote/JRemote/wireless keyboard & mouse of some kind. A tablet yes, but never heard of anyone using a 27" touchscreen to control media playback until now -- although, I've not been using the forums long.

The key to the problem is Windows. It'll re-do the screen configuration when one goes away. Not sure if that can be prevented through configuration in Windows.
What *might* be possible is using a hardware solution like Dr.HDMI (https://www.hdfury.com/product/dr-hdmi/). Although I have no experience if it works in that particular scenario, but it might.

I agree with Hendrik and think that it is a Windows issue. How are your monitor and projector connected to your computer (HDMI, VGA...)? Also, do they connect to the same graphics card, or to different graphics cards?
The computer I am typing this from has dual monitors (different resolutions, even), but has no issues with the display changing if I turn off one of the monitors using the on/off switch. Both monitors are connected to the same NVIDIA graphics card. However, I have a laptop at home that has issues when a monitor is added or removed. That laptop has two graphics processors (one Intel, one NVIDIA), and I think that causes issues when adding or removing monitors.
