HOW to play TWO separate videos synchronized on dual screen fullscreen on repeat w/ DirectX Script

I can't find any existing solution. Please help me.

I'm preparing a video installation for my exhibition and encountered a problem.

My setup is a Tower PC
(Desktop A) 1x GPU Merged Desktop via AMD EyeFinity (1680x3150)
(Desktop B) 1x GPU with one Output (1920x1200)

Image

Projectors are connected to both GPUs.

The plan is to play two separate video files (same length) fullscreen. Each one on each Group. (Vid1 Played on A & Vid2 Played on B)

In VLC I’m able to get two videos (instances) playing via „play other media synchronously“
then I manually distribute the videos on each desktop and double-click to make them play full-screen.

That works BUT !

When the video ends (on repeat) .. the second instance (DirectX) leaves the fullscreen mode. I need to have the two play Fullscreen on Repeat forever ! How to do that ?
What is the script for this ? And also i would like to have it all automated :) Is it possible to have VLC open the two VideoFiles and distribute the to the two displays and let them play fullscreen on repeat ?

that would be awesome ! thank you in advance.

I don't have this problem in linux, vlc version 2.2.1 (maybe it's windows specific problem) ?

have you tried ?

--no-qt-video-autoresize
