Video output help

[Stedmister]

I am running mediamonkey on my laptop, which is connected to a projecter. I want the video output to go out to the projector, but have playback control on my laptop screen, how can i do this with MediaMonkey?

I use my laptop ... both vga connector and hdmi connector. Simply play back the film ... full screen and switch to the output connector (this depends on your laptop).

I got that figured out, it's controlling the playback of the video, I want it to show but not have play button viable on the projector, only on my laptop

[dtsig]

I don['t think there is a way for the projector to do that if that is what you are asking. You might be able to get your phone to do it

It sounds like you're running a 2 display setup. You should be able to drag the video window on to the second screen (projector) and have the main MediaMonkey on the first screen (laptop).

I can get the video to show on the second monitor by dragging the Art & Details window out of the main window, but it doesn't work well. When entering full screen on the second monitor, the art & details window stays open on top of the video. Also, the hovering player controls show up behind the main window on the first monitor instead of on top of the video on the second monitor, and when the hovering player controls are not showing, the mouse pointer is hidden in the main window, making it near impossible to use.

MediaMonkey version?

[rivorson]

4.1.6.1726. I've tried it with three skins and they all do the same.

[Lowlander]

Did you report it? I don't use MediaMonkey for video playback nor use dual monitor at the moment.

[rivorson]

I haven't reported it yet, or at least not that I can remember. There are some access violations that go with the problem so I'm going planning to install the debug build to collect logs over the weekend.

I tried the art and details way and get the same result.
