Luke 36999 Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Yea it is due to this: https://github.com/electron/electron/issues/4380 If you double click the window to toggle fullscreen, does that resolve it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mystic.bertie 23 Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 When i try to play a movie i sometimes get a black screen, closing ET and opening it again might work. I have a intel NUC and it has an Intel integrated graphics chip. Does it only happen for you when ET is not in full screen mode? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke 36999 Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Are your windows updates and video drivers up to date? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mystic.bertie 23 Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 (edited) Windows is up to date, there was only a Intel Net driver which was an optional update. There was a more up to date GFX driver from Intel and so i have installed it. Does it appear to be a driver related issue? edit - i watched a few things last night and no problem so far, ill report back if it happens again.

mystic.bertie 23 Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Hi @@Luke I experienced the black screen again last night, clicking on the screen to reduce from full screen and back to full screen did not help, i had to close ET a couple of times and then it worked.

mystic.bertie 23 Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Thanks @@Luke, does it look like we need to update Electron to fix this issue, can this be done independently or do i need to wait for an update? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

germanguy 0 Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 on my pc win7sp1 with nvidia graphics card the following points were the problem: - had to activate aero as mentioned here - directx update only installs the current version updates - had to install directx11 manually for the drivers to be uptodate - scripting / JavaScript etc.. security settings can be found or have to be set in internet explorer security settings - after setting the intranet zone security and scripting options to low (+ enabling some of the even then disabled scripting options) installation worked fine and theater is running now.

Tur0k 143 Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 Same problem happened to me here. normally i can remove from full screen mode and it works. this time can't do that. screen never goes away. attempted to uninstall and remove all settings, run ccleaner, reboot and re-install. this worked once but i received a warning regarding emby premiere. I checked my server and my lifetime key is still in place. stopped and restarted emby theater and it was back to lights out black screen. please advise.

elshagon 44 Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 I had a similar problem with emby theatre black screen at start up with W10 creator update and ATI5450, and after test everything was the auto hide windows bar option.... Thanks. I have been fiddling with trying to figure this out for the longest time. Sometimes I would think I fixed it then have it go back to the black screen soon after. For now turning off the auto hide taskbar has worked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
