VLC 0.8.6d fullscreen issue with external screen.

[petterekman]

Just installerd VLC 0.8.6d (going up from .6c) and was hoping to see a solution to the stuttering 1.5 mbps DTS-stream problem that many of us seems to have, and also hoping for a generally better player.

Now, instead, what I discovered yesterday was this:

When connecting my MBP to my projector via DVI-HDMI, starting a movie and selecting my projector as screen under "Video" - "Video Device" and then choosing fullscreen only renders an image on my computerscreen...?

By dragging the window to the other screen (my projector) and choosing full screen it works fine, but how come the "old way" doesn't work now when it worked before?

Have looked around to see if anyone else noticed this, but I haven't found anything. Sorry if I it has been discussed already!

I second this.

Using a VGA external display. I have to do like petter to get it to work but it is very annoying since i use my mac as a media center. please post a nightly beta when you think you have fixed this problem.

FYI: I checked with spaces and that is not causing any problems. I also deleted the preferences but still nothing.

Could you guys please test this build?

http://jones.via.ecp.fr/~videolan/fpk/v ... -INTEL.dmg

Note that it is for intel-based Macs only and still a pre-release version.

This build should fix the "fullscreen shows on wrong screen" problem and may also fix the "black screen" option.

Please provide feedback, as I don't have access to 2 screens right now

Folks, we've been working on the bugfix release and compiled another test build for you.

You can download it here.

The password is "fullscreen". Note that this is a debug build, which includes additional code and is slower than the actual release. Please don't post the link to other forums or news sites.

Hi Guys,

I just tried this build and it still doesn't seem to work. Thanks for working on this.

Note that we could have broken the preferences by our approach, so please delete ~/Library/Preferences/VLC and try again

Sorry, I should have tried that first. After deleting the preferences, it works correctly on an external monitor. Of course as you noted, the prefs are broken, but at least it works. Thank you!

Thanks a lot for testing! Can you also confirm that the "Black screen" setting is working, meaning that the 2nd screen which isn't showing the video turns black?

If you are refering to the "Black screens in fullscreen" setting under "Preferences -> Interfaces -> Main interfaces -> macosx", then no that is not working. Regardless of whether I have it checked or not, the other screen is not black. Btw, I deleted my prefs again to test for this.

Thanks,

Aman

My co-developer provided another patch for this to fix. Please download this build (same password), install it and run VLC in a terminal (e.g. open Terminal.app in /Applications/Utilities and type "/Applications/VLC.app/Contents/MacOS/VLC", hit return; assuming that it installed to the usual Applications folder and wasn't renamed). VLC will output a couple of messages. Please post them here

I just got home and tried this while hooked up to my projector as my second monitor. I deleted my prefs first and ran the executable from the terminal. I did not see any messages in the terminal immediately after lauching the executable. However, the VLC "Messages" window had this in it:

After playing a movie I received this in the terminal:

It played the film in full screen properly on my projector both times. The "Black screens in fullscreen" setting did not work when I enabled it. I did try quitting and restarting VLC after the preference change to see if that would solve the problem, but it didn't work either.

Keep putting up builds and I'll be happy to continue trying them for you. Thank you for your continued hard work.

Hello,

I have exactly the same problem.
I have tested your last build:
Now fullscreen on external scren works well but not when "advance features" are enabled
Blank screen mode still not working...


My config:
iMac 24" 2Go RAM , 7600GT 256Mo graphic card, Mac OsX Leopard

[fkuehne]

What are "advanced features"? Can you be a bit more precise on this one?

[ptiboubou]

Sorry it is not "advanced features" but "extended controls" in the "window" menu. When I checked the box fullscreen on external monitor stopped to work

[darkolo]

If it can help, I noticed that the vlc-0.8.6d-r22893-prerelease.dmg managed very well fullscreen on second display and there was not a blink when I swich from video in window and full screen.
