I have read many post about having the video play on the second monitor but I seem to have a different problem. It’s probably related to my particular video setup but I’ll ask anyway.
I can play a DVD and drag it to either screen and watch it with no problems.
When I check open in display 2 it still opens the video window in display 1 with no picture but when I drag it to display 2 it shows the picture. Does this whether or not I check the video overlay option.
If I uncheck embed in GUI and open in display 2, then no video window shows at all although the icon is in my taskbar for one.
If I open a non embedded video window in display 1 then drag it to display two it shows video. If I use the GUI in display 1 to stop and then restart the video, no video window opens but it shows the icon in the task bar.
I have tried using skins 2 but the player always opens with the original skin.
I don’t know if this make any difference but I am playing DVDs saved to my hard drive. I have a m3u play list for each DVD and have associated m3u to VLC. I have built an HTML interface where I can click the movie title and it activates the appropriate play list which opens VLC.
It’s probably my setup but maybe I’m just missing something. Please let me know if you have any ideas. Thanks
