Does Windows Media Player work with DisplayLink Graphics Adapters?
Yes, Windows Media Player (WMP) version 10 works on DisplayLink Graphics Adapters when part of the extended desktop. WMP does not respond well in all situations: • WMP can default to using a decoder that does not work on DisplayLink Graphics Adapter extended screens. This occurs with decoders that require the video mixing renderer. The workaround is to turn off support for the video mixing renderer. To do this: • Open the Tools Menu • Select options • Select performance • Select the advanced button • Uncheck the two boxes labelled ‘use video mixing renderer’. • WMP may not fully redraw if the video window moves, or other windows move over it. • Although not supported, using WMP 9.0, with a 16:9 DVD and moving the playing window to the Nivo screen results in the player looping through the DVD chapters, without displaying anything. Move it back to the main screen and it displays again. • If you start WMP, then move it to the DisplayLink screen and start a 16:9 DVD it displays incorrectly
