VLC Player goes blank while using dual screen

Postby billy_mo » 11 Nov 2008 18:58

Hi,

I've a dual screen setup and if I play VLC on display 2 sometime the player goes blank but audio can still be heard. I tried using --directx-device=\\.\DISPLAY2 but the result is the same. Has anyone encounter this problem? Does anybody know how to solve this?

Thanks

Read the FAQ, and deactivate Overlay.

I'd tried deactivated the Overlay but I'm still having the same problem. I think the problem is the VLC ActiveX which is having a memory leak problem. I've done some test using the libvlc library and the result is a stable video and no memory leak after continous running for 24 hours.
