I been playing with this a while. I finally figured out some things that makes this almost perfect. First, I set up the TV output to run as a second display to the right of my main display. My main monitor is Screen 0. My TV is Screen 1. That allows me to watch TV at a lower resolution that the splitter works well at while my monitor runs at the highest resolution. That got me to where I can watch TV pretty easy. When I open Smplayer, I just tell it to move to Screen 1 and to the TV it goes, sound and all. The one thing that bugged me is that I had to be on the desktop where I started Smplayer to watch it. I couldn't for example be surfing the internet and glance over at the TV to see something if I was on a different desktop. Then it hit me, there is a way somewhere to set it to be seen on all desktops. I dug around until I found it. It's in the upper left hand corner on my KDE. I think that is the default. When one puts their mouse pointer on it, it says "On all desktops". If you click that, it then makes the video going to the TV viewable on all desktops. I can surf the internet, play Kpatience or whatever and glance over at the TV to see something without switching desktops. I wanted to share this in case someone is searching for tips on this and finds this thread. I hope it will help someone else. [OT] I'm building speakers for my puter. I started cutting the wood today but had to glue some stuff. I'm waiting for it to dry real good. I'm surfing around for ways to attach the back and it be easy to remove but be secure. I'm thinking of using bolts and having those t nuts inside to screw into. That way I can take it apart easily. It's a small project but it goes all the way across the back of my desktop and I plan to set my monitor on top of it to raise it up a bit. Just thinking some things out here. I'm building because I'm tired of those crappy speakers I been getting for this. I'm using a two way 5 1/4" speaker that is supposed to go in a car. It's small but it's bigger than the 2 1/2 maybe 3" things in my old set that went out. My amp is a separate device too. I plan to re-engineer my TV so I can have external speakers on it next. That I plan to have a small sub and a pair of two ways for. I got to much time on my hands right now. ROFL Dale :-) :-)
