TV as main monitor for XBMC. - kjuze - 2010-04-20

Hello everyone.

Newbie questions, I've tried to search for the answear but can't find it.

I have a samsung computer monitor as main monitor and a samsung TV. I'de like XBMC to use the TV and always start there. I tried to change it under settings to "monitor #2" but it keeps changing back to the computer monitor.

If a do fullscren (alt+enter) when the XBMC window is dragged to the TV it moves back to the computer monitor. Sad

Please help me!!!

Did you extend the desktop to the second screen? Does that work?
Are both your screens set for 32bpp?

Its fixed. I did the exakt very change 30 times and then it worked. Wink

And yes to your questions. Thank you very much! Smile

On another note, you don't know a guide to getting the plugins working? I didnt understand what to do with the zip file ( I have no program meny in my xbmc!?)

You're welcome. No I don't know much about plugins. I think the unzipped files go under the "Program Files\XBMC\plugins" directory (or one of the subdirectories, not sure?)
There are options to display/hide home screen items in the skin preferences, maybe that'll help.
