Hello,

So here it is, I'm trying to display a video with VLC on a video projector without using DirectX but Direct3D. The only problem is that I can't figure out how to automatically open the video on the projector (it opens by default on my main screen).
I hope I was clear enough.

Thank you.

    Hi plop

    Do you have a particular reason for wanting to use Direct3D instead of DirectX?

    When selecting DirectX output, it is possible to choose the display device, but with Direct3D, I personally have never managed to do that.

    Open VLC, and go to Tools -> Preferences

    In the Interface menu:

    Uncheck: Embed video in interface

    In the Video menu:

    In the dropdown menu "<b>Output</b>": select DirectX
    In the dropdown menu DirectX -> "<b>display devices</b>": select \\.\DISPLAY2

    Save, close VLC, reopen it and test by opening a video.

    Otherwise, in output, you can select Direct3D and choose \\.\DISPLAY2, but it has never worked for me.
    By choosing Direct3D, there's still the option to drag your video window all the way to the right side of your screen, and you should then see it appear on the projector.

      Thank you for your reply
      Actually, yes there is a reason: the color scheme of Windows changes when I use DirectX, so I wanted to know if it was possible to do the same thing with Direct3D

      There you go
