Trouble using fullscreen on a secondary monitor in Vista

Postby glnquagmire » 11 Feb 2009 04:02

Hi all,

Sorry if this has been asked before, but I just recently downloaded VLC 0.9.8a and have been having trouble with getting fullscreen to work on my secondary monitor. I use two monitors (a desktop monitor as my primary, and an LCD TV as my secondary). Every time I fullscreen the video, it always goes to my primary monitor, and not the monitor that the window was in. I looked through the preferences, but couldn't find anything to change this. In older versions of VLC, it would always fullscreen to the monitor that the window was currently displaying in.

Any help/advice to fix this problem would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

This is bug in 0.9.8a. It is fixed in upcoming 0.9.9 and 1.0.0 releases.

0.9.9 hopefully soon, there is already release candidate available. You can test 1.0.0 if you want

Yup, I can also confirm this is definitely *not* fixed for me by 1.0.0 on Windows Vista.
