Hi
When using multimedia player with a video file
A 2nd preview window opens up and show you the video
How do I make it to open full screen on my secondary monitor?
It does work on one computer. it happened automatically
But it does not work on the other
Is it Showtime settings or the dual monitor card settings?
Both computers have ATI dual card
i couldn't find were i do the right thing for it to work

Thank you
Aricha
 
Hi Aricha,

Right now, Showitme itself does not have the ability to control this window, but we will be adding this capability for the next release.

The reason why it automaticially PLAYS full size on one of your computers is because of video card settings. If you right-click on the desktop and choose "Properties", and then click on "Settings" and then click on "Advanced", usually you can adjust settings that are specific to your video card. You might find a setting in there called "Zoom mode" or "Full screen video". You will have to make sure that this is enabled.

Best regards,

William Benner
 
Hi Bill.
Is there a function in Showtime v4.5 to set the video (.avi) window on a second screen/monitor ? I can manually set it, but it is not retained in user preferred layout. I can also lose the window border -except for the top bar -is this a Windows thing ?
 
Thanks for that Bill. I'm using an ATI Sapphire dual head card, there doesn't seem to be any video specific options. Roll on version 5!

Best regards
Mike
