Multiple instances of smplayer on multiple monitors
Posted: Fri Mar 14, 2014 9:53 pmHi, I'm new on this forum.
First, sorry for my bad english (I'm spanish).
I have a computer with a graphics adapter (ASUS HD7790 OC2 2GbDDR5) that supports three simultaneous video outputs. All this on Windows 7 OS. I'm trying to show three full screen synchronous videos, one on each display (udp-slave... master) and it works fine but I need to launch each instance of SMPlayer/MPlayer from a remote computer via cmd (psexec or similar). Of course, I can't use directx output, I'm using gl (with directx I can view the video on one monitor only). Sometimes I launch the same video on the three displays on synchronous, or I launch different videos without synchronous, or only two videos... any combination.
My problem is to try open three instances (or two) of SMPlayer or MPlayer, one on each screen, from cmd. I've tried and I failed with MPlayer (adapter param only works with directx output). With SMPlayer it works but using the mouse, moving the SMPlayer window to the other screen, double click to fullscreen...
I want to find a way to do something like "Hey, fu...ng SMPlayer, open this video on third display at fullscreen" from cmd.
It's possible?. One config.ini for each instance?. How?.
Admit all of the suggestions, including changing OS. (I've already tried Ubuntu, but the result has not been satisfactory)
Thanks for your help and regards.
