VLC on external monitor

[OTRot]

Hello,

I am trying to use VLC to cue video clips on an external monitor, with the interface on my desktop. I can play one clip on the external device, dragging the player window to it, but switching to the next clip, it opens on my desktop instead of the external device. Is there any way to lock the player window on the external monitor?

I already worked my way around it by making the external monitor my main desktop, and keeping the controls on my laptop screen. Any other ideas are welcome, however.

You can force the position with --video-x (same option can be found from Tools -> Preferences (Show settings: All) and Video)

Hi all, i'm using vlc 1.1.11 and it looks --video-x is not working, my video windows always open on my second screen at (x=0, y=0) .

My command : vlc my.AVI :reset-config :video-x=100 :video-y=200 :no-embedded-video

Is there something wrong in my command ?
Thanks
