Hi,
I’m hoping to find a solution to an issue I’ve been encountering with VLC. My goal is to use VLC to playback a playlist of videos in full screen on a second (extended) display with my playlist and controls on my primary display (where I’m able to control playback and edit the playlist without interfering with the presentation on the second display). The problem that I’m having is that unless all videos in the playlist are precisely the same resolution (e.g. 1920 x 1080), VLC will exit fullscreen on the second display and will instead continue playback on the primary display, non fullscreened.
I’ve been experiencing this issue with 3.0.20 Vetinari, but I’ve also been experiencing it with versions going back three years now. The issue has occurred on a wide variety of hardware (ryzen/intel CPUs, nvidia/radeon GPUs, etc) and on both windows 10 and windows 11. I have VLC configured to de-embed the video from the interface. I also have “fullscreen device” set to DISPLAY 2 (although this has also never worked for me and I always need to drag the video onto display 2 and enable fullscreen). I’ve also tried to make adjustments in many other configuration options, but with no success. I’m hoping that I’m simply missing something obvious here. Any insight or advice is appreciated.
Thanks!
