Hi,

Using QLC+ 4.12.1 on a Macbook Pro Mojave 10.14.4. With a projector plugged into HDMI of laptop, and configured for separate displays, not mirroring, I can select Screen 1 or Screen 2 on my Video function. When I play the video, it plays correctly on screen 1, when selected, but not on screen 2. When screen 2 is selected, the video plays on screen 1.

Would be grateful for assistance.

Thanks for that.

I did see that, but thought it was a different problem.

Have you tried uninstalling 4.12.1 and installing 4.11.1?

Good idea.

Tried 4.11.1: The video is on Screen 2 sometimes, when requested, but sometimes spread across screen 1&2. When the video is shown on screen 2, screen 1 is blanked off, so can't get to the controls.

Did you uninstall 4.12.1 before installing 4.11.1?

I hadn't uninstalled 4.12.1. Tried again with 4.11.1, and when selecting screen 2, screen 2 was consistently used. But Screen 1 was still blanked off, which means I wont be able to use it for my intended purpose.

I think I'll wait for video to be a bit more stable before using that feature.

Thanks for your help.

Please check the latest test version.
Playback should be improved but there's still an issue only on macOS (surprise...) which leaves an empty window after stooping a fullscreen video.
Haven't been able to solve it yet.

On Ubuntu 18.04 QLC+ 4.12.2-GIT works as expected.

Have tried 4.12.2 Test, and video is shown on Screen 1 when selected, and screen 2 when selected. Yes, there is a blank screen left, afterwards, but I don't mind that. But I would like to be able to get to the QLC+ controls on screen 1, when the video is shown on screen 2. Is that a possibility?
