VLC 2.0 Mac fullscreen issues
« on: 21 February 2012, 21:27 »
Since Ive updated to VLC 2.0 I can't get it to display in fullscreen on my tv. Everytime I click full screen the picture moves back on to the mac screen and goes full screen and my tv goes to the bent mac multitasking grey screen.

In the preferences the full screen setting is set to 'display 2' can't see another settings :undecided:

Should have ...  :lipsrsealed:
Passat B5.5 2.3 V5 170, with all the extras.

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

Does it allow you to multitask while watching a fullscreen film?

i've always found vlc to be more stable than mplayer for some reason.
