Title: Move detached video display window to HDMI monitor
Post by: andrewberg on September 07, 2018, 05:26:51 pm
I have a HDMI monitor attached to my notebook in 'extended desktop' mode, and would like MC to play videos on that monitor automatically. However, when I start video playback, the display window is always reset to the main (notebook) monitor -- so I have to:
1.) hit 'Detach Display' (or Ctrl+6), then 2.) click + drag the display window to the other monitor, resize if necessary, and 3.) click 'Hide Borders'...
Quite a number of steps to get the video position and size I want... (luckily, MC at least remembers the position & size of the detached display...)

Is there a way, perhaps by a script, to start video playback in 'Detached Display' mode by default?

Thanks in advance!

(Note to mod: I'm sorry if this was accidentally posted in the wrong sub forum -- please move as you see fit... ;-)
