this is how i do it as well, i've an ati aiw radeon 7500ve pci with win2k, but i was hoping to have a normal
desktop on my monitor while i watch movies on my
tv (composite out). but i havent figured how to get multiple screens (only a
stretched screen which makes mplayer play fullscreen movies very oddly.)

currently it plays fullscreen on the tv, but the monitor is black screen ;\

or even a way to switch my composite on, switch it as primary display, and
switch it off again with some simple thing ;p (tv-out seems to inhibit my tv-in
abilities)

Re: Re: Dual-monitors?

Thanks everyone.  I had the build just before the -adapter option was 
included, I suppose.  I got the latest version and it works perfectly 
with that option.  I now have two mplayer icons on my quick-launch bar, 
one for mplayer normal, the other for display on my second monitor.

And to answer the question, yes, I am using two adapters.  My ATI card 
has video out, but only usable as a cloned display.

This works perfectly.  Thanks for all your help.  I can't express to 
people how awesome mplayer is.

-Matt

Reimar, I assume you know how to add options/suboptions now...  Why
not improve this patch yourself? ;-)

WinMPLauncher update

I just wanted to inform you of a new WinMPLauncher release.

v1.1.3 Features:

BUGFIX: fixed a bug where the drag and drop would give the same error as
   an empty playlist.

I have also written a small web page for people to download WinMPLauncher
and the source:
