The VideoLAN Forums

Hello, I just installed VLC 2.0.8 Twoflower and I'm trying to play a playlist of videos in fullscreen mode on a second monitor attached to my notebook.

I setup VLC to open videos on full screen at preferences, unchecked the embbed in interface, and selected \\.\DISPLAY2 on directx screen display

The results:

- When I double click on a video, it seems to play (the audio is playing) but the video doesn't open anywhere
- If I click on full screen button, it displays on the monitor (DISPLAY2) but resized
- If I click now on full screen button again, it goes fullscreen on DISPLAY2 (this is the result I'm looking for)
- At this moment, if I open another video, or click NEXT on the playlist control button, AND THE NEXT VIDEO IS IN OTHER RESOLUTION THAT THE FIRST, It happens the same that first point (the audio is playing but the video doesn't open anywhere)
But ! If the 2nd video is the same resolution than the first one, everything goes well, fullscreen and on the same Display.

I have Windows XP SP2

Thank you for your help !

Nobody?

It might be related to other problems that VLC 2.05 and later have with multiple monitors. Does it work correctly for you on version 2.04 or earlier?

If the problems are related, then Jean-Baptiste Kempf says that the problem is not actually in VLC, but is in the version of Qt4 that they are using.

Here are links to previous posts on a similar problem:

Thank you for your answer !
Ok I will try 2.0.4 version, but that's not the issue I have. The video opens correctly in the 2nd monitor, but it doesn't go fullscreen
Sorry but, what is Qt4 ?
Thanks again !
