Java based programs now working correctly in Win10

Post by n8nagel »

I can't find where I posted previously, my apologies. I know I should quote my previous message but I think it was in one of the RMIR release threads and I just cannot find the damn thing... anyway.

When I got a new personal laptop which I have hooked up to two 4k screens (it's actually an older version of my work laptop, so I can share my entire desktop and docking station) I was having problems with RMIR annd every other Java based program displaying so small as to be illegible and not respecting scaling. So I gave up on installing MakeMkV and have been using my work laptop for Remote Master stuff.

Tonight I got in the mail a replacement remote for my minidisc player so you know what I was preparing to do. I completely spaced on the fact that my personal laptop was hooked up to my desk, dug out an Xsight, and double clicked on RMIR... it was huge (scale factor in shortcut was set to 2.0)! reran setup.vbs with a 1.0 scale factor and now it looks just like my work laptop. Whatever was making this not work has apparently been fixed with an update at some point.

I haven't even starting learning yet however between finding a working Xsight that isn't currently in use somewhere, my LAST Mini USB cable, and transferring files from my work laptop :/ I'll get there.

Because I've recently purchased a Roku Ultra 2024 as well, I am going to set back up an Xsight for my bedroom now and hopefully it can be used for everything. I am going to start with the Roku 2023 upgrade and see if that works. But I digress, that's not relevant to this post, I just wanted to let everyone know that was suffering with not being able to run RMIR on a 4k monitor on Win10, that issue seems to have resolved itself.

yes, that's it, I must have just been tired and ineffective last night. I'll paste my reply there and if you want to delete this thread go for it.
