CPressland Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 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.

Windows7even Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 you got to set it to display on the secondary display in the advanced config menu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XerXis Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 drag the vlc window to your second screen when it's not in fullscreen mode. Then doubleclick on your video to go to fullscreen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+John. Subscriber¹ Posted March 19, 2009 Subscriber¹ Share Posted March 19, 2009 On a mac, it's in preferences (tools for you) >> Video >> Fullscreen Video Device Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterC Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 I know you're asking for the Windows version, but see if there's something like this in the menu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CPressland Posted March 19, 2009 Author Share Posted March 19, 2009 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 :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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: Nevermind, just done it, had to unintegrate the video from the main UIThanks 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 :) Unintegrate the video from the main UI? :| One button click on a Mac is much less confusing!

stevember Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPressland Posted March 19, 2009 Author Share Posted March 19, 2009 yeah, i guess my instructions were to difficult to understand for someone who says WINBLOWS 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 ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
