Immediately pause the video and go back to the start if you missed a few frames.(Otherwise you can't use the Right-click > Move to other monitor option) Turn off the option to start VLC in full screen.For anyone else on LM Cinnamon, you do have an equivalent function: Right-click the "VLC media player" window (not the main application window) in the task bar and choose "Move to the other monitor".
#MAKE CAMCAMX OUTPUT TO SECONDARY MANUAL#
Your idea about right-click and "move to screen" made my manual workaround a bit quicker, though it remains a manual workaround.
#MAKE CAMCAMX OUTPUT TO SECONDARY INSTALL#
or do I need to create a new xorg config file? (I feel like that is way over my head and I would like to avoid it if possible, so I don't risk wrecking this otherwise excellent Linux Mint install I have going.) There must be some way to map these values. I am guessing I need to make VLC understand Linux Mint's identifier names for my screens like "VGA-0" instead of the old way with xorg like :0.1. I figure, if I can make it work with one, anything else should be easy.
#MAKE CAMCAMX OUTPUT TO SECONDARY HOW TO#
So I'd be happy if someone can direct me on how to send VLC's output to any secondary monitor under Linux Mint 17.2 Cinnamon - it doesn't matter whether it's a projector screen connected via HDMI or an old CRT via VGA. I can see that the BenQ monitor is listed under the monitors.xml file as "VGA-0" - and yes I can show windows on that monitor fine. But I still can't make VLC send the output to that monitor, unless I manually drag the player frame from the laptop screen. I tried the same thing with a fairly plain BenQ LCD monitor connected via VGA to the laptop. Thanks in advance for any suggest you might have!Ī quick follow-up to my original post.
#MAKE CAMCAMX OUTPUT TO SECONDARY DRIVERS#
I don't think I have downloaded any proprietary drivers for the hardware yet. Processor: AMD E1-1200 APU with Radeon HD Graphics x2 In case it matters, the laptop I have is an old Samsung with this hardware: So how do I get VLC to understand that the X-window that I want it to display on corresponds to the HDMI-0 output? Also, if I view the contents of the file ~/.config/monitors.xml, I see a nice entry like: (Anyway, I am no Linux expert, so the idea of creating my own nfig files scares me!) I got the idea to use the identifier HDMI-0 from the output of the xrandr command. yback-onlyīut that guy was using nfig, and I understand Linux Mint doesn't use nfig. I got the idea for changing the X window values from this post. If I reset the X window value to empty, or put a setting of :0.0, then it plays normally on the laptop monitor again. Then under Output modules > X window I tried the following values:įor these values (and various similar attempts), I could hear the audio while the video was playing, but no video was displayed on either screen. I tried the option: X11 Video Output(XCB). In VLC: Tools > Preferences > Show Settings > All > Video > Output Modules. Here's some background on what I have tried so far: I have spent some time searching the web and trying various VLC options, but I cannot get this to work. Does anyone have any idea if there is an equivalent set of options for running VLC on Linux Mint? I know it is possible to make this work on MS Windows, because there is a VLC video module for DirectX, and under that I can choose which display to output the video to. So in a presentation scenario, the audience must wait for me to drag the VLC player window around and reset to full screen each time I play a video, or stop a video part way. As long as I don't hit the stop button, the video will keep showing on the projector.īut here's the problem: I cannot make VLC remember to play videos on the projector/HDMI output by default. I can play videos on the projector screen if I start VLC and then manually drag the VLC player screen over to the projector. The projector is set to extend the desktop, not mirror. The laptop is set as the primary monitor. (This must be the friendliest screen config tool I've used on any linux distro to date!) So far, the laptop and the projector play nicely together thanks to the "Display" tool that comes with Linux Mint under the Preferences > Display menu. The laptop's primary use is to playback video files on the projector using the VLC 2.1.6 installation that came with Linux Mint 17.2.
I use the laptop to connect to a projector via HDMI.
#MAKE CAMCAMX OUTPUT TO SECONDARY 64 BIT#
I am running Linux Mint 17.2 Cinnamon 64 Bit on an old laptop (circa 2012).
