Err, just as the title says!
I have a second screen setup as an extended desktop on the tv out of my Radeon 7000 series card, I get the WMP vis showing as the first song plays but it drops back to the desktop as the next songs starts ???

Also is there a way to change visualisations while one is playing within freebox?

You cannot change the VIS while freebox is running, it will use the default WMP vis.

As for the vis turning off, what options do you have set in feebox? Can you take a screen grab of your second screen settings as i am sure this bug is fixed as long as you have the right options set.

Here's a screenshot:


It's listed here as display 3 but under display properties there are just 2 displays and the tv out is 2.

Use second monito for ALL not just videos and it should then work fine.

Nope that did not work  ??? still turns itself off between tracks.

I am getting my tracks from a wired network location via mapped drive.  Could the couple of seconds gap between tracks be the reason its exiting?

Any suggestions welcome!

Barry will still need to look at it, as I haved the same issue, it plays the first song fine showing the Vis but if you skip to the next song or the first song ends the Vis disappears, if I choose 1 then back to 2 the Vis shows up again. I don't think Barry has a second monitor to test

Ok i will get onto this tonight, i have made a few little tweaks that didn't deserve a release on thier own but if i can get this sorted once and for all it will be worth doing.
