Show video on second screen (-I wx not working)

Postby 0001001 » 11 Mar 2008 14:03

Hi,

I have a dual monitor setup and a nvida card.
I'd like to start vlc from the command line and show the video in fullscreen on the second monitor.

What I got working:
Using this command, vlc starts in fullscreen:

Code: Select all

c:\Programme\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe --fullscreen "c:\1.avi"
When I do not use the command line, I can get it to work with these settings:
1. Preferences -> Video -> use Fullscreen video output
2. Preferences -> Video -> Output modules -> DirectX -> Advanced options -> Refresh list -> use \\.\Display2
3. Preferences -> Interface -> Main interface -> use wxWidgets interface module
4. Preferences -> Interface -> Main interface -> wxWidgets -> do nut use Embed video in interface

The problem is that I fail to set all these parameters on the command line:
Here's what I tried:

Code: Select all

c:\Programme\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe -I=wx --no-wx-embed --fullscreen --directx-device=\\.\Display2 "c:\1.avi"
VLC is starting in fullscreen on Display1. I checked if all these settings were made in the GUI and I discovered that setting 1,2 and 4 have been set but setting 3 (the -I wx) is not set.

Can you give me a hint what to do now?

Thanks in advance!

So you don't get wxWidgets interface at all if you run command below?
vlc.exe -I=wx --no-wx-embed --fullscreen --directx-device=\\.\Display2
