Clone filter almost...but not quite...working.

[peter_h]

I have 3 monitors, and tried displaying the same video on all 3 using the clone filter, using the following:

Code: Select all

start vlc "\\serva\library\videos\test.mp4" --vout-filter="clone" --clone-count=3 --clone-vout-list="\\.\DISPLAY1,\\.\DISPLAY2,\\.\DISPLAY3" --fullscreen

It starts 3 simultaneous windows of the video, but they are all on the same display, not 3 separate ones.
I check the vout device names by running the following batch file:

Code: Select all

start vlc "\\serva\library\videos\test1.mp4" --directx-device="\\.\DISPLAY1" --fullscreen start vlc "\\serva\library\videos\test2.mp4" --directx-device="\\.\DISPLAY2" --fullscreen start vlc "\\serva\library\videos\test3.mp4" --directx-device="\\.\DISPLAY3" --fullscreen

This worked as expected, with each video on its own monitor.

So is there something wrong with my --clone-vout-list="\\.\DISPLAY1,\\.\DISPLAY2,\\.\DISPLAY3" syntax?

(I'm running 2 x nVidia 8600GT cards on WinXPsp3)

Any chance of someone (with multiple monitors) confirming that this also happens for them?...
