The VideoLAN Forums

Hi All,

I'm creating a video wall with 4 LCD TVs and trying to get it to span the video automatically instead of creating the 4 boxes and having to individually move them to the right screens and maximise them.

Also, if there's a movie in the playlist that's a different resolution to the previous file, all the screens drop back and maximise to the default monitor.

Any help or comments would be greatly appriciated.

Any Help would be great.

Preferences --> Video --> Filters --> Image wall, set the rows and columns sounds like it would be two for both.

Preferences --> Video --> Filters, turn on the Wall video filter, then press Save and close the player.

Thanks for the reply.

We've got that part working.

But what is not working, is getting the segments of video to automatically appear in the correct monitors and to then auto fill the screens.
At the moment we have to click and drag each segment to the correct monitor and then double click it to maximise it.

We need to try and get this to be automated so that when the computer is rebooted it auto runs and maximises across the correct screens.
We've got all of it automated, except getting the segments to the correct screens and maximising them.

Thanks again.

I would think that setting Full screen in Preferences, Video would help.

The rest of it would depend on how the monitors were plugged in or arranged. This is a seldom used or requested feature, but does come in handy for events or trade shows where you need a very large display.

When we have it set to fullscreen, it maximises all 4 segments to one monitor one on top the other.

Hmm! Then it's going to take a dev to answer your question!

Out of curiosity which monitor? Is it display device 1?

I'll check tomorrow but AFAIK we don't have an option to automatically choose the right screen for each of the subwindows.(in fact, after reading the source code i'm 100% sure that we don't)

Thanks for your help.

Hi!

I've got the exact same problem. I'm trying to build a video wall using 4 displays. The wall filter works just fine, but the problem is that you have to manually drag each window into position.

You've replied that fullscreen positioning cannot be done automatically. Well could it be possible to position the windows via command-line parameters, if not to fullscreen display, then at least just move the windows to correct monitors?

Any help would be much appreciated.

It's not possible yet. Feel free to change the code
