Is Current Version (2.1.8/9?) Readt For Multi-Monitor Windows?

Hello.

 

On January 23 I posted some critical problems in the new ET, ones that forced me to uninstall and go back to the prior version. I related that the new version...

 

- Does not remember which screen to start on

- Starts as a small window, regardless of last settings

- Can be dragged to the 2nd monitor, but leaves its window-sized black square on the original monitor!!!!

- Can be dragged to the 2nd monitor, but thereafter cannot be "grabbed" by the mouse and moved around

- If you resize the window on the original monitor and THEN move it to the 2nd monitor, you can resize and move

- The maximize button in the upper-right corner (between min and close) does nothing.

- A flaw shared with the old Emby theater: there's no way to enlarge the windows to exactly 1920 x <vert>. Why is this important? You want to promote an exact mapping for the best quality picture. The only way is to TRY and get 1920 is to carefully move the window until it appears that the very last blue line of pixels (from the monitor's background image) disappears at the top and at the left (requiring deft mouse usage as if you're twiddling pixels in Photoshop) and then to slowly and carefully drag the RHS or corner until it seems that it eats the last vertical blue line of pixels, or to over-expand onto the main monitor and then slowly back it off until the last line of vertical Emby Theater pixels disappears off the 1st monitor.

 

Good luck, developers, and keep on beating on the product until it's usable on a two-monitor Windows PC. Thanks!

 

Have these been fixed? Can I use ET on my 2nd monitor, now? I'd like to give it another try, but want confirmation before doing so. It's painful to flip between versions: not because uninstalling and installing and uninstalling and installing is difficult, but because ET doesn't remember my List View settings and doesn't have a "Use List View" for everything drop-down.

 

Thanks,

 

Mike

I don't experience these at all... I am using Windows 10 Technical Preview with a NVIDIA GPU and the latest Emby Theater.
