VLC Player Hijacking Second Monitor

Postby TheOsiris » 06 Mar 2007 20:02

When I try to view video files, my secondary monitor is automatically selected for full-screen play, while the gui is playing the file on the other monitor. Is there any way to disable this feature?

I have a laptop, docked, and I use the external monitor as the primary monitor while the laptop is in the dock.

I've tried playing with video overlay and clone filter options, but nothing has helped. I've searched extensively on Google, but haven't found anything useful, there, either.

Any ideas?

Reset preferences or erase the preferences folder and start over again from the defaults.
