I'd like to share my XBMC box with a couple of TVs but they are each a little different.

If I setup profiles for each TV, will it store the video resolution (and screen adjustment calibration) as well as the audio output settings?

**spiff** · 2010-11-30, 11:56

yes. all setting are per profile.

And it will switch to those settings if you start a video or recalibrate BUT not on selecting the profile

I use it with a small usb LCD and two settings for switching between sound via HDMI or SP/DIFF but I can't blindly push a button and have the screen switch to my LCD. Luckily I can force it by keyboard but then the resolution on the LCD is still the one from the TV, so I miss quite a bit of the interface. The left menu is visible enough that I can chose Video ... and when the video starts it will switch to 800x600 and from then on I'll have full command of XBMC.

There is a post of mine with more details, posted last month I think.

If this doesn't get fixed, might not be possible, I'll try to make a build of my own where I'll try to change it. I'll need to make a custom build anyway because I really like the patch which allows multiple sound output on Win7

Regards,

Joop

that's definitely a bug.

try this;

I tried that and it doesn't work :confused2: , used an existing profile/installation.
Then I decide to rename the portable_data folder and start all over. Now I got a little further.
I have added the following line between the 2 from your patch. Not sure if the use of %d is correct
CLog::Log(LOGNOTICE, "Setting Resolution %d", (RESOLUTION)g_guiSettings.GetInt("videoscreen.resolution"));

I enabled debug logging, find it below

And thats it. XBMC bails out without further messages.
Looking at guisettings.xml in the profiles folders, of a non patched XBMC, I see that there is indeed a videoscreen xml part with a resolution number in it.
In the portable_data\userdata\guisettings.xml the resolution is -1.

Anything else I can do to help track down this bug?
