Re: API for enabling TV out ?

Hi Alec,

You're right - It is handled as another monitor in GDI. The worry is that
the graphics adaptor fails to detect the TV and no output appears.  =


The nView application has a "Force TV detection" checkbox which forces TV
out to be enabled.. I'd like to be able to 'check that box'
programmatically.. Struggling to find any way to do this though.. It looks
like I can set it in the registry but I suspect that will only be enacted
upon at startup.. =


The other issue that I discovered yesterday is that I need to give the user
control over whether the output is in PAL, NTSC, svideo, composite,
component etc.. Its not auto detecting the screen type correctly even when
it does detect a TV.

I had someone suggest investigating the Microsoft Media Centre Certification
programme. Apparently there's an API that the OEMs have to adhere to. =


Thanks for your help !

Jason

Isn't this a multi-monitor issue in fact? How is enabling the TV different
than enabling a second monitor? I don't have the mm code at hand, but I have
a "disable the second monitor" code snippet at work.
I can send it over to you tomorrow, if that will do. But it is Win32-only,
of course. Not sure if gd-general is exactly the right list for this...

Cheers,
Alen
