Choose the Movie on Monitor 1 and have the Output shown on Monitor 2. - JonNada - 2024-11-03
Hello everyone,
Many years ago, I already took a closer look at Kodi and all these topics.
Back then I also had a dual monitor setup and I'm sure it was possible to select and start a movie on screen A and have it start on the second screen.
I just can't remember how to do it.
Is my memory deceiving me that much or can someone help me?
Maybe it was possible with a special skin or a corresponding addon?
Many thanks in advance.

This is a windows o/s procedure.
Start with all hardware turned on and engaged.
Engage display switch, (win+p) choose the display(s) you want.. Launch Kodi.
Choose the video.. to be played, and Kodi will start playing on the chosen screen.
Multi-task PC for windows operations (screen 1) + Kodi (screen2)
Engage display switch, (win+p) 'extended screen' desktop should embrace both displays
Launch Kodi and use the windowed version (\) Key above the return key.
Use the mouse pointer & drag the windowed Kodi to second screen
With Luck using the (\) slash key will expand to full screen on #2
If Kodi jumps back to #1, use the slash... do the drag and use full screen window.
OTH: If you want to utilize Kodi's library at the same time you're playing a movie, pressing
the backspace key twice should get your interface up over the video. The other work-rounds
are using Web interface (wiki) or commercial programs like Yaste
Does this ring any bells?
