hero09:
hello!
great little utility, very useful.
i am also seeing a blank dialog box, as described above. may i ask how to disable it
Nevermind, I edited the source to remove the msgbox and recompiled the script.

Great utiltiy Nod5! :Thmbsup: I have been trying it out the past couple of days and find it is really slick. :eusa_dance: :eusa_dance: I wish I had seen this when you first posted it, it could have save me a bunch of headaches with some of my non techie teachers and their projectors.
Nod5:
Thanks!
I've uploaded version 090117: it removes the msgbox-bug that glove99 found. No other changes. The msgbox only showed up when using the alwaysturnon=1 .ini option so I missed it before.
techidave:
Nod, is there anyway you can add a keyboard hotkey to this?
Nod5:
techidave: tv_out is not made to be always running so the current script can't have built in hotkeys. I could add that as an option but it might also be confusing to build in such a "always running" mode. I'll think about it next time I update the script.
In the meantime, here are two quick, external ways to get a hotkey:
1. right click the tv_out icon on the desktop > properties: set up a hotkey. I think that should work, though there are some limitations in what hotkeys that can be used.
2. use a custom autohotkey helper script (save code as somename.ahk, compile (requires autohotkey installed), put in some folder, then add a link to it to your autostart folder) :
--- ---#1::
Run, %A_Desktop%\TV_OUT
returnThe example above uses win + 1 as hotkey. But any hotkey can be used by changing the row "#1::" above, see http://www.autohotkey.com/docs/KeyList.htm for details on hotkeys to use.
