multiple monitor setup on v2

[billberet]

on v2, how do you configure for multiple monitor support.
i have one touchscreen and one HDTV on component out.
in xlobby, the display tab, there is a section for multi monitor playback.
says, which players to show on second monitor, but the box is blank
and i can't right click or add anything to that box.


baddabing gave this advice
1) Plug touchscreen in to video out
2) Plug projector in to OTHER video out
3) Fire up the PC
4) Right click on desktop - select PROPERTIES
5) Select SETTINGS
6) If your video card drivers are installed correctly you should see TWO monitors. If you don't then contact your video card help desk.
7) If you DO see two monitors, Check the box that says EXPAND MY DESKTOP
8 ) click the IDENTIFY button. 1 & 2 will appear on the monitors. Make the touchscreen the default monitor
9) Set the resolution for each screen (typically 800x600 for touchscreen and then whatever you projector supports)
10) Start xlobby - goto xlobby setup - under misc tab select which monitor you want xlobby on
11) Configure your video player to play on the projector.

In my case, i'm stuck on #11
where in xlobby, can you configure the player. i'm using the internal player that is default with xlobby.

the hardware is working properly cause i am currently extending my desktop within windows. and i can mouse over to the TV.
thanks

also, it might be related to the same issue, but i don't get any sound either.
Music, no problem, all zones are golden.
but when i play a dvd, i can see the video on the touchscreen, but no sound out of any of the zones.
i assume, when i learn how to configure the video to play on the second display, i can configure the audio to play too.

gobble day is almost here, i need my xlobby working to keep all the kids occupied !!!!
lol

if u are using extending my desktop within windows, then there SHOULD (guessing here) be a setting in ATI or Nvidias control panel wich screen is your primary and where to play video.

you are correct, i have the ati 3870 with the catylist control center.
i found the section for sending video to secondary monitor and poof, i have video.

now that i have the video working, how about the audio?
should the audio of dvd's (video_t's) come from one of my existing zones.
or do i have to configure the audio another way?

i started this on a new post for audio
