Make sure you set up the second monitor on the right hand side, then: I've found a semi-satisfactory way to do it. You can also adapt the script to display DVD content (replace the %1 to something like where 'g' is the drive and '2' is the DVD title number), or make the script into a Windows shortcut instead (I won't give details as my posting is already pretty long.!) setting for your install location of VLC. You might also need to change the vlcPath=.
If you wanted to use this, you would have to adapt the Vlc_Starter.bat to match the setup of your second monitor - this is the video-x=. We can then control and stop the video playing from the VLC 'controller' window as normal. This enables us to simply drag-and-drop media files onto the Vlc_Starter.bat file icon, which automatically loads and starts the video on the second monitor. %vlcPath% %1 -video-x=1600 -video-y=400 -width=300 -height=300 -fullscreen -no-video-title-show -no-embedded-video -no-qt-fs-controller Set vlcPath="C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe"
Using VLC 1.1.4 under Windows Vista, we came up with the following batch script, which we've put into a file (Vlc_Starter.bat) which can be placed anywhere (for example on the Windows desktop): We also wanted to come up with a really simple solution so that our less computer-savvy operators could find it really easy to show video content. We also chose VLC to display the content, and for similar reasons as stated we found it rather distracting on having to drag the 'player' window of VLC on to the second monitor. At our church, we sometimes need to display video content on the second monitor which is our projector screen.
