Fix to 2ndary full screen projector issue w/ directx

Postby getmet » 18 Mar 2013 03:50

Anyone know of any fix for the issue with directx output for secondary monitor where having it play full screen on a projector crops the video off??? I have Version 2.0.5 and with multiple different laptops connecting the secondary monitor to a projector cuts off the video. I use directx output for video presentations so i can see the playlist on my screen allowing me to show videos professionally on the secondary display. I tried changing settings such as ratio and cropping, just made it worse. This ONLY happens when it is connected to a projector. Works great with a monitor. Let me know if anyone knows how to fix this issue or which version doesnt have this problem.

Thanks

The issue is likely related to your video drivers. Update them or use another output module.

I tried two different laptops. Samsung and Lenovo. Both were also tested with updated drivers. Cant change the output because then I cant have it playing on //Display2

You can, with other outputs too. Just check the Qt preferneces.
