Fullscreen Video on second Monitor

Postby Myownshadow » 16 Oct 2022 13:50

Hello,
I read some reports about the fullscreen output on a 2. screen.
But it doesn't work.
First, I disconnected video from Interface
Then I changed Fullscreenvideo output to \\.\Display2
Fullscreen ist selected.

But, everytime I started a Video, it will be shown on screen 1.
I do not know what is going wrong.

Version is 3.0.17.4 for Windows 11.

Would you please help me ?
Thank you

the fullscreen option is only available when the video is integrated in the interface, because that's a feature of the interface

What does ist mean ?

My wish is to play my video in full screen mode on one device (monitor) while I have the controls on the other (laptop).
It seems, that is NOT Possible.

this means that you can't select on which monitor the video will be fullscreened by default when the video is not embed.
