VLC is ignoring the video-x setting

[Strahan]

Hi. I have three monitors, and I was trying to figure out how to get VLC to appear on the monitor to the right of the 1080p primary. I read that the --video-x option would move the window around, but when I try:

vlc.exe testfile.mp4 --video-x=1920 --fullscreen

...it still starts on the primary LCD centered. I thought maybe being FS was messing with it, but it made no difference when I dropped that argument. Am I doing it wrong? Thanks.

PS, does the X coordinate option start at zero? I was assuming so.

video-x and video-y are not guaranteed to work, and typically don't work, given how desktop windowing systems are designed.

Ahh, OK. Thanks anyway!
