Turned off "Embedded video output"; after relaunch, the movie started playing, but didn't display video on either screen. I turned "Fullscreen video output" back on in preferences; after another relaunch, the video still starts up on the laptop screen. In both cases, Screen 2 is selected in the Video > Video Device menu when it incorrectly plays on Screen 1.If you disable "embed video" in the PReferences->Interface->macosxOS X 10.4.2
In 0.8.4, my preferences were set to automatically fullscreen video on startup to Screen 2 (Video device 2 in Preferences > Interface > Main interfaces > macosx), the TV connected over S-Video through a receiver. This worked as expected; after launching VLC, any movies that started to play did so in full screen on the TV.
In 0.8.5-test2, video will start fullscreen, but on Screen 1, the computer screen. Looking in the Video menu, Screen 2 is checked, but it obviously didn't start there. I have to reselect Screen 2 from the menu and toggle fullscreen on the running movie before it will display on the TV.
To further clarify, it only displays on the wrong video device the first time after launching; as long as VLC stays open after performing the workaround, other movies automatically start playing on the TV.
Does the problem still occur?
