2 monitors, windows DirectX and GDI

triff · Postby **triff** » 13 Dec 2003 14:27

I use Windows 2000 with 2 monitors. Monitor 2 does not support overlay.
I can't view video in this second monitor ... with output set to DirectX (no overlay), i have a black screen on monitor 2. If I put the video window on monitor 1, it works, but when I put the video window on monitor 2, I then have the image fixed to the last image dispayed on monitor 1.
With the Windows GDI output, I get the image reduced by two and repeated two times at the bottom of the window, and colors are false. (this happens on monitors 1 and 2).
Any idea ?
What configuration should I put ?
Thank you,

Could you try this:
http://vthr.via.ecp.fr/~videolan/build/ ... 132226.zip

And tell me if this works better for you ?

triff · Postby **triff** » 14 Dec 2003 21:07

Yes ! It works :
If I let video output to "predefined", the video window says "Hardware YUV overlay DirectX output" on monitor 1 (and displays the video) and says "software RGB DirectX output" on monitor 2 but doesn't display the video. (change between the two occures if I move the video window, no need to stop/play)
However, if I put the video output to "video output windows GDI", it works and displays the video on the two monitors.
Thank you very much,

That's interesting.

Could you reset the video output to "predefined", open the "Messages..." window then play something an move the video window between the 2 screens.
Post the debug messages in here afterwards, I might be able to find out why the DirectX output doesn't display anything on the 2nd screen.

I think I should precise :
When I said that it doesn't display video on monitor 2, I really mean it dispays a black video on monitor 2 :
With 0.7.0-test1, moving video windows from monitor 1 to monitor 2 will display a fixed image (the last dispayed) on monitor 2.
With 0.7.0-test2, it will display a black video.

The problem seems to be there:

vout_directx debug: selecting Matrox Graphics Mystique PCI, \\.\DISPLAY2
vout_directx debug: screen dimensions 0x600

I don't know yet why the dimensions are not valid though.
I'll give you something to test as soon as I find something

Hi, I've experienced a similar problem. I downloaded the Videolan test from the above link. I switched Videolan to use Windows GDI (instead of direct X) in order to get the 2nd monitor working (which is a TV off of an nVidia based card). It works, however, the aspect ratio is messed up, and I can't get it straight no matter what I do to it. Take a 16:9 image, and rotate it so you've got what looks to be a 9:16 image, and that's kind of what mine looks like.

Here is the log I got when I opened up a stream, let it play for a few seconds, and then closed it (it happens to be a show I downloaded from my ReplayTV)

Sorry for the double post...When you have something, I wouldn't mind helping you out by trying it out as well!

Thanks.

Gibalou · Postby **Gibalou** » 16 Dec 2003 11:50

I uploaded a test version with a little bit more debug messages. I'd be interested to have the log messages for when you move the video window between the 2 screens.

http://www.videolan.org/pub/testing/win ... -win32.zip

Sortar · Postby **Sortar** » 16 Dec 2003 13:08

Have you managed to solve this problem? if not Ill do some tests, because I have the same problem.

Gibalou · Postby **Gibalou** » 16 Dec 2003 13:11

No I didn't fix anything, the problem should still there.

breeder · Postby **breeder** » 16 Dec 2003 14:47

I downloaded that test2-version of VLC.
Also I have 2 monitors.

I tried switching to Windows GDI video output and yes, it works to move the video-window between the monitors and everything works well, BUT I can't resize the video or play in fullscreen while in GDI-mode. (same for both monitors)

Edit: (I can use my driver-settings to display video-output to my 2nd monitor though and have it full screen, so by drivertweaking I can solve the problem, but I figured I'd try and help and give some feedback to make it possible to do the same directly with VLC (which kicks ass btw ;))

Gibalou · Postby **Gibalou** » 16 Dec 2003 14:55

The GDI output is only designed as a test video output and is not actually useful because it is painfully slow and lacks lots of features (like resizing).

Please try this version (with the default/directx video output): http://www.videolan.org/pub/testing/win ... -win32.zip

It won't work with multi-monitor setups but as I said above it has some more debug messages enabled which should allow me to track the problem.

(to clarify, this was with the directX-settings which only works on primary monitor)

Gibalou · Postby **Gibalou** » 16 Dec 2003 19:46

breeder: what kind of setup do you have exactly ? (dual head, multi-monitor ?)

I'm asking because I can't see anywhere in the log that VLC was moved to a second monitor. When VLC detects this it should restart part of the directx output but here it doesn't.

breeder · Postby **breeder** » 16 Dec 2003 20:31

my gfxcard is a Leadtek WinFast A310 TD FX5600 128Mb DDR TV-out DVI video-in AGP. I use nView with dualview - digital (tft) + tv.
I run windows server 2003 on an AMD. I have the latest nvidia-drivers and same with directX.

I tried it for both tft+crt and tft+tv, but I didn't see any difference in the message-output. Hm... what else, I guess that is all. If there's anything you want me to try or any information you need, just let me know, I'd be happy to help.

Is that of any help ?

Post any requests for more info or for anything.. I'd be happy to help also if it solves this problem.. Then the Vlc will definitely be my default media viewer..

Thanks for all your feedback.

I found a problem (last one ?

with the multi-monitor support.
Can you all try this version and tell me if it works any better ?

breeder: It looks like to me that you don't really have multi-monitor support but something more like "display cloning" support.

In this case I fear that the problem lies with your graphics card not supporting "overlay" on both displays at the same time.

One solution is as you already said to set the 2nd display as the primary display device.
Another solution could be to disable overlays in the perferences panel of vlc.

I guess I could also try to implement an option in the menus of the interface that allows you to specify on which display the overlay will be created but I fear this will have to wait for after 0.7.0 because it will require quite a few changes to the code.

Great !!

That made it for me : Software RGB DirectX on monitor 2 and Hardware YUV DirectX on monitor 1 (hot switch automaticaly when the window is moved).
Thank you very much ...
If you need more infos/log, please ask.

If it's working then I don't need anything more

Thanks for your testing.

ehum, not quite :P

I DO have a gfxcard that supports multiple overlays.
I can for example start 2 instances of WMP and play 2 different movies, one on each monitor... etc.

I still can't move VLC from screen to screen and have video in directX-mode though. Same problem (black overlay on secondary monitor). Like I said it works with setting drivers to put videooverlay at fullscreen to secondary monitor (then VLC shows video on both simultaneously). But that is some sort of cloning I guess and it's done by nView and not VLC.

I still would like to be able to run vlc on both (or just secondary monitor) without using the fullscreen-overlay feature that my drivers support.

Here are the messages for the run with the vlc you posted last.

Breeder maybe the log is from when you ran in clone mode and not i extended desktop mode, so that's why it doesn't look like Gibalou expected?

btw It works nicely for me now.. I can run extended windows and move the output window between the monitors and make fullscreen on secondary monitor now..

Thanks alot for a nice program
