I originally had this problem with an earlier version of Hoster. I had to go and set the display properties in the "desktop" to multiple display, and set the laptop to 1024x768 and the plasma to 800x600. No problems since.

Just make sure you have the secondary display already on and powered up before you start Hoster..........

Sandy,

try adjusting your laptop(computer screen) resolution to 1024 x 768 pixel and your tv monitor (2 icon) to 1024 x 768 pixel or 1024 x 768 on computer and 800 x 600 pixels on tv. Checked which setting gives better overall, but make sure you double click your TV screen couple of time to enlarge (smaller) your singer display screen.

On my situation, it works better on 1024 X 768 pixel on both the computer and tv, and get worse on 800 x 600 pixels on tv. Like your images. Other time you have to adjust the tv resolution to 640 x 480 pixels. The big gap between the Marquee and view(lyric) screen is just resolution issue.

Some excellent recommendations here that should be addressed.


However, in Hoster 4.0x, there is a setting you may need to adjust.

1. Run Hoster

2. Click the Tools menu > Show Display... command

3. Click the Lyrics view first, and change the Position: field to "Stretched".

4. Do this for Intermissions, Audio DJ and Video VJ (if they all allow changing it).

Click Apply, and see the changes, or close and see them.

We shipped the "default state" as Centered, which would not "resize" your graphic image, but left it in exactly the aspect and resolution it was created in. Shifting to Stretched will allow your image to resize automatically.

Mine, the position is on stretched but if the singer monitor (TV) display is set to 800 x 600 pixels there's is big gap between the Marquee display and the Lyric display, so as in intermission display. But when set to 1024 x 768 pixel it seem to removed that big gap.

The 800x600 may be exagerating space at the top of the lyrics area where it is a lot shorter in 1024x768.
