Title: Output Second Window to Second Monitor
Post by: steviewonders on March 21, 2013, 10:31:55 am

Hi. I'd like to have another media center window on a second, smaller monitor. Ideally this could be configured differently to the main window on the primary monitor as the screen sizes and resolutions are different. The idea is that i would be able to see the track progress and the songs in the album while using the main monitor for other things. Is this possible either in this version of media center or in a newer version? If so, how would i set this up? Cheers.

Are you using MC16?  That's what this board is for.

How about using an Android tablet and Gizmo to control playback?  Or iPad and JRemote.

With Windows only, you could set a second monitor and move Display View to it.  Explorer the options under General/Behavior in MC.

Ok cheers. I was hoping for more information than what is available in the display view so i'm thinking i'll just set up another library view for when i have it on the smaller monitor if there aren't any other options.
