video previews, mamewah, wmp11 and dual screens

[tony.silveira]

hi all,

i'm putting the final tweaks on my cab and i have one lingering that i just can't nail.

i'm using mamewah as my fe, which in turn uses windows media player libraries to play video previews of games.

my cab outputs, as a mirrored screen, to my living room projector.

the issue is that the video previews only play on which ever screen is set as the primary.  on the other screen i only get a black box.

i have been able to fix this by turning down the video acceleration half way, to the point where it says "disable all directdraw and direct3d accelerations...".  turning up video acceleration beyond this point causes the black box.

the problem with doing this is that it turns off direct3d, which causes certain emu's not to start since i have them set to use direct3d.

anyone have any insight on what i can do?

many thanks, tony
