It is the same for me.I have a somewhat similar problem
My "Video Device" menu is greyed out. Although quicktime, DVDPlayer and Mac OS X itself recognize the TV with no trouble at all.
Have you tried removing the video filters you might have set in you preferences?I have tried with the 2 latest nightly builds (0.8.6-test1 and 0.9.0-svn), and I am sorry to tell it is the same...
"Video device" menu is greyed
YES! You are right: if no video filter is enabled, the video device menu is selectable again.Have you tried removing the video filters you might have set in you preferences?
When I have a video filter preselected the video device is greyed out. If I don't have any filters preselected the video device menu is selectable.
fullscreen always on screen 1 despite screen 2 saved in preferences
I don't quite.It's funny to see how I have two multimonitor setups, and i don't experience this issue, yet you all seem to have it....
It is not acceptable for me. I do want the controller on my main screen, so that I can easily control by mouse (I can not see the TV while sitted on my desk, where there are keyboard, mouse and monitor)I just found a work-around!
Move the VLC controller window (the small one without any video in it) to the second screen. Press apple-F and fullscreen will be on the second screen too.
That sounds greatIt already is. The DJ fixed it the day before yesterday, so the next beta version 0.8.6-test2 will support this again.
I tested it and it's half-fixed.It is surely fixed in the 0.8.6 nightly builds. I can't find a commit for 0.9.0 trunk right now, but it is probably fixed there as well (regrettably, I can't test this here, since I only got one screen).
This isn't something new, it has worked like that for me in a long time with the nightly builds.
I tested it and it's half-fixed.
Using the latest nighty build (2006-11-06 intel) I was able to save screen 2 in the preferences and it was correctly marked in the menus. However fullscreen still plays back on the monitor that has the controller window on it.
What's changed is that we now don't have to
- click screen 1
- click screen 2
in order to get fullscreen on screen 2 if it's selected in the preferences.
We only have to click screen 2.
So we saved a couple of clicks, but the core of the problem is still there - that video is played in fullscreen on the screen that currently has the controller window on it, regardless of what's saved in the preferences
