VLC - dual screen

Solved
Lauhi-33 -  

Hello,


And thank you for your help.

I do live performance where I use video projection.
For a show, I'm using an animated film that I am projecting using VLC software.

The projection is done on a large screen via a video projector.
However, I use my laptop screen as a "preview" during the show.

For a compliance issue, I would like to have the playback bar on my PC screen... but not on the large screen.

I'm sure this must be possible, but I can't find the right function.

Thank you.

Loïc

    It's like a century ago, silent cinema with a pianist ;-)

    So I have no idea how to have a dual display of the video, PC and second screen. I only know how to separate, with the configuration above, the video stream and the command console into another window.

      Well, I’m speechless… I received an email signed "AI"... with a possible response... that is completely off the mark.

      Nonsense!

        Hello,

        You can split VLC into 2 windows: the video and the controls: Tools --> Preferences --> Interface --> uncheck the box Integrate the video into the interface. Save and then restart VLC.

        PS: our friend Bobot the robot is making his debut ;-) Can you relay his response to us, as the moderators do not have access to his messages.

          Thank you Jee pee (I share your definition of the word foreign :) ).

          I managed to do this.
          What I would like is to have the video on the VP and the video and the interface on my PC.
          The screen of my PC is a great help for me to get settled.

          Here is the project.
