Title: switch zone when in fullscreen.
Post by: gappie on June 06, 2008, 07:03:07 am
when i go from theaterview to fullscreen and i switch zones (via remote or ctrl t) the screen jumps back to standard view. imho the view should stay the same when switching zones.

thanks

This one's been around and reported (at least by me) forever. A fix would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

It was coded this way on purpose.  I think the idea is that it's not good to be staring at a zone in Display View that's not playing.  I suppose it could check the play state.  Or never change...

maybe checking the playstate is an idea, or why not switch to a displayview that is not playing, but how it works now is imo not working.
when you are in Thv going to fullscreen you dont expect mc to jump back to standard view, just because you switch zones (that both are playing, for instance images in one, music in the other).

would it maybe be an idea that when in thv 'mode' using fullscreen, when switching zones it would jump to playing now in theaterview, or even better, only when the display is not playing, but stay in fullscreen when there is playing something.

This change will be in a build available here later this week:
Changed: Switching to a stopped zone while in Display View will no longer switch to Standard View.

great, thanks.
one small thing though. at this moment when in displayview, and switching to a playing zone, it also switches to standard view. hope that that one is part of the change also. 8)
