small tweak to get the video window of the dx builds to start in the correct monitor here.

It's appeared again for me, but now I've put it into the sin bin, ignore it!
a well-formed "thank you" then from my side.

make sure to add this to a trac ticket so the devs will note your suggestion.
if it works well, it might even go to one of the next svn versions.

CPU: core 2 @ 2.0ghz
Mem: 4gb
Video: intel mobile 4500hd
Windows 7 32bit (rtm)
XBMC Build r23283
Resolution: 1280x800
DX - UI FPS min 29fps, cpu load 40%
GL - UI FPS min 17fps, cpu load 64%
Max of both varies, both seem to hit 60fps, this is using pm3-hd and just going around in the UI
The biggest difference is that in the directx build the cpu load is down and the FPS never drops into the teens (where very noticeable stuttering occurs)
No playback errors, however i have a very limited set of items on this machine to test with.
Keep up the great work! Very impressive builds.

This is getting “out of control”… If built from scratch a UI like XBMC should never go beyond 5-10% on a modern computer.
-What are your thoughts regarding this?
Too much legacy weight? Lack of extended Hardware Acceleration?

BTW, If you happen to be running an old(er) ATI card, say X300/X..series, your last driver from ATI is 9.8 (for all platforms).. After this, it is going into the legacy bin. Now, the default Win7 driver from Microsoft works, but quite frankly, it is extremely "basic"..

HTPC: Asrock ION
OS: Windows 7 32-bit
Build :23267
Skin: Rapier
Everything is working great, I'm streaming 720p from my NAS without any problems.
Havn't really tried 1080p though since all my movies are in 720p.

How do i set the windowed window size as each time i launch XBMC it reverts back to 720x600 or something like that i need it to stay at 1280x720 (or even be set to that as currently i have to manually drag it to that size and its inaccurate)
so am currently on build Rev 22312 as this is like the old builds i can select 720p windowed and bamn its the right size i need and windowed.
any help would be great thank you
also note i tried changing the resolution in the guisettings.xml for windowed but again it reverts back.
