Video playback
« on: November 22, 2016, 12:14:23 PM »
I have a video that I want to use in a playlist. Not convert into a sequence, just play back the video. It works to click the "Video" checkbox and add to the playlist. When I click "Play item" it plays! But, it plays on my control monitor. I am wanting it to play fullscreen to an external display. I can drag the video over to the other screen and maximize it, but it still has the title bar at the top and the controls at the bottom. Any searching I do to find more information on video playback is all about converting videos and using them in a sequence. Is there documentation on just playing video or does anyone know the solution to my issue? Thank you!

In the play list select Move mode for  full screen. Set up your monitor as duplicate

Thank you for your reply. I somehow glossed over movie mode. While it seems like a step in the right direction, I still have two issues with it. It only plays full screen when I select "Play All," but "Play Item" still pops up a smaller window. The other issue is that it is not feasible with my setup to duplicate my control and presentation displays. I may be asking too much of xLights and need to keep using a different media player for the video, but thought I'd check.

When the video opens under Play item you should be able to right click it and select Zoom. I will take a second but then it will go to full Screen....
