Dual Monitor (1 Viewer)

[tonymo]

I'm setting up a dual monitor system. Monitor 1 is a touch screen. Monitor 2 is what I hope to be the media viewing monitor. I see the configuration to enable MP to run on either Monitor 1 or Monitor 2. That works great.

What I'd like to do is run the main MP software on Monitor 1 and when selecting movies or DVDs, have the applicaton open the video on Monitor 2. Is there a configuration for this or should I wait for the next release? Any suggestions would greatly be appreciated.

I have the same problem. is there a fix / solution for this?

You could activate Overlay in your driver for the secondary video output. This way any video content played will be displayed in full screen on the secondary display.

You mean theater mode? i have a Ati HD3200 onboard card.
this works good, but i only want one screen with a dvd player and on the other screen Media portal.
If i use theatermode the movie starts windowed in the first screen and full on my tv so i don't see mp anymore!

tips? if you don't mean theater mode, where can i find overlay?

is there also a option like i ask in me other replay? one screen MP and the other screen the dvdplayer/movie?

with ati theatermode/overlay i get the movie 2 times one windowed on the small (first screen) and one fullscreen on my tv.
i only need it on my tv nog on the smaller screen..
