Placeshifter UI cropped on second monitor

[dflachbart]

I am trying to use the following setup:

- nVidia 7200 with DualView enabled
- 1280*1024 primary monitor
- 1600*1050 second monitor (16:10)
- Placeshifter on second monitor

Probably a simple setup issue, but I couldn't figure it out yet: the UI is cropped off on the second monitor, about 1/4th is simply missing. The video itself displays fine.

Is 3D Acceleration turned on in the PS's Settings? (From the Servers Manager screen.) If the window doesn't originally open on the 2nd monitor, try closing it from there so it opens on that monitor the next time -- I know that for the regular client UI, if it starts using 3D acceleration on a monitor with lower res than the other one, moving the window to the other monitor & going full screen can result in the UI getting cut off.

I've never tried this with the placeshifter, but I know that Sage client (and server) doesn't play well with dual monitors with different aspect ratios. Although, in that case I think the UI looked fine, it was just the video that was messed up (exactly how it was messed up depended on the MPEG2 decoder used).

There's a plugin that lets you set the display aspect ratio for each monitor. I'm guessing it doesn't work the Placeshifter, but it might. Plus it doesn't sound like you're experiencing the same issue.
