Features for control of two screens

Hi!

I work with two screens. First one is PC screen and second one is Plasma-TV.

As nvidia seems not to develop a tool for easy use of two screens, maybe VLC has already a function or may develop one.

My ideas:

When dragging the VLC to to right of PC screen I have to doubleclick the video to show it in fullscreen modus on Plasma-TV. Before visitors will seen the small VLC window. Does any function exists to preset VLC to go on second screen automatically to fullscreen?

Another idea would be to see for the same video two VLC players with same output. First one on PC screen, second one dragged to second screen. I would be able to see the output on Plasma and to configure sharpness and many other things. So I could easily start a second video without stopping and getting back the VLC to PC screen.

Any help is appreciated.

If you use Windows, then DirectX output should have option for screen selection.

Clone output allows VLC to spawn two or more video outputs.

Tested it with any possible configuration options. Does not work. I stop now with finding a solution. But thanks again.
