Move fullscreen for VLC to second monitor.


Recommended Posts

Hey guys, what's up?

So my 24" Monitor just arrived and it's all hooked up and running. I've got my 32" HDTV set as Monitor 2.

However when playing Video in VLC full screen it'll only display on Monitor 1, how can I move the display to Monitor 2.

Thanks

Well, Thats what i've been looking for, but I cannot find it.

Nevermind, just done it, had to unintegrate the video from the main UI

Thanks Master C, I know it's easy on a Mac, but we all know Winblows ;)

I'll be hooking up my Mac over VGA eventually anyway :)

I didn't notice till now we posted at the same time! :laugh: And yes, this many screens is nice. When I play videos in VLC, I have it set to clone the video so all three screens get a fullscreen video. Looks pretty cool. :happy:

Unintegrate the video from the main UI? :| One button click on a Mac is much less confusing!

the answer to this is really simple.

Make sure when you open it from Explorer the file you click is already on the screen you want to make it full screen, then when you double-click it will go which ever screen you originally opened the file on. I hope that makes sense.

No mate, I understood your response 100%, it just didn't work. It was a DirectX related issue so of course it's not going to work with something as simple as dragging a Window. ALSO, that was the first damned thing I tried.

If you've got nothing constructive to add and obviously can't take a simple joke, then I suggest you go to THIS website in future instead of Neowin ;)
