Second screen problem

I'm currently working on a proyect using QLC+ (Version 4.8.2). My customer wants to be able to run the QLC+ and display the video in the extended screen. Unfortunately QLC+ always displays the video in on the screen where it is open. I've already changed the output display to second screen with no result. Is there anyway I can make it display the video always on the extended screen (second screen)?

Thanks in advance and my apologies if I'm not asking this in the right place.

Hello to you.
Which operating system ?
At the moment, Linux is the one working properly with videos

I have had this working on windows 8, so would have expected it to work on 7.

Someone covered this in another thread. It seems the first time to play a video, it plays in the main screen, subsequent plays will play on the second screen, if that's what has been defined.

Something else I've noticed is that, because my screens are defined as different sizes, if I just play the video, and then replay it, it does appear on the second screen, but there is a white bar along side it.

The way I handle this is to open QLC+, select a video, set it to Windowed, play it, then set it back to Full Screen. I do this for all my videos as part of my preshow setup. During my show, the videos play the way I intended.

Another video issue I found over the weekend. I added QLC+ to my Windows Startup folder, using a parameter to tell QLC+ which profile to load. Everything comes up, all the chases, scenes, music & videos appear, but the videos are pixiliated. It seems the only way around that is to close the program. I can re-open the program using the icon in the Startup folder, and everything works, including the videos. My guess is that QLC+ is loading before a needed DLL, because the pixilation only occurs within QLC+.

My easy work-around, for now, is to take the icon out of the Startup folder, and place it on the desktop.

I'm using the 4.8.3 version Massimo created to correct the audio issue I had. I will load 4.8.2 on another computer and test that. I should be back tomorrow with the results.
