No Full Screen

[DrF]

For some reason since updating to the new v2 sageTV I cannot switch to full screen mode. Any suggestions.
I am using

Nehemiah II 1000 mhz
PVR 350
256 Mb Ram
80 Gb HD
Windows XP Home

If you are using the hardware decoder of the PVR-350 then you lose the ability to go full screen.

Can you provide any reasons for this?

If you disable the hardware decoder can you then go fullscreen?
If so, I think Frey should disable the hardware decoder when fullscreen is desired and re-enable when sleeping or back to normal screen. This probably should be an option.

I would consider not being able to go to fullscreen a major liability.

I use sageTV 1.4 to view 3 ways, on my TV using the 350, while in the kitchen using fullscreen on my computer, and in a reduced size screen while working on the computer.

Not being a SageTV developer, I can only guess. By locking the window size to match the output of the PRV-350, Sage does not need to render all display components twice (once for the PVR-350 and once for the PC screen). Just turning off the hardware decoder does not solve this problem, but I haven't tried restarting the application when I change this setting (I run the client with my 350).

Personally, I would like to be able to go to full screen when watching DivX recordings (when I have to use the PC screen) and then toggle back to 720x480 when watching MPEGs.

Thanks for your help Fidget, looks like I will have to live with it for the time being at least.

Hmm is it possible to disable the hardware decoder of the PVR-350 ? And if so, how ?
I can't get SageTV to run full screen either. I'm currently using SageTV on my computer monitor and not on a TV, so just a normal computer monitor connected to the VGA output of a video card (Matrox G550).
Can anyone help me to get this running full screen ?
