The VideoLAN Forums

HI Guys,
i have the problem that all files plays on my computer, but when i will see them on my beamer theres only a black box.
I can see my Desktop on the beamer, but not the played file.

Please help quickly

oh - first we have to know your exact hardware/software/driver config...

some drivers have problems to accelerate video overlays on the secondary screen...

Do you know the "video mirror" function of your graphics card, that plays every overlay video started on the first screen in fullscren on the secondary screen?

try - to stop VCL move the VLC window to the secondary screen - plress play again - VLC should try to open the overlay video now on this screen...

Best regards

Danko
