I guess everybodys aim is to make the tool perfect and working as it should. therefore this workaround seems pretty unacceptable. there is a setting for that so it is acknowledged that this feature is relevant. but it does not work. so it should be fixed.Hey! Even thou this procedure is abit annoying, it works anyway.
Setup VLC with any version (I use 'h'), so that the video display should be your tv (display 2).
Save all settings, then quit.
Now, every time you start VLC and have started to run a video file, all you haft to do is goto the 'Video' menu and choose 'Video Device' and set it to your perfered Device.
That way, you can see the video files on the tv, display 2 etc and have your mainscreen blacked out if prefered, as I.
The Only Thing you need to repeat everytime you start VLC is to choose Video Device when you start playing a file.
It's that little tiny setting VLC ain't reading in the config file it seems.
