I connect to MacBook second monitor (Samsung SyncMaster 226cw). When I lounch QuickTime in full screen on second monitor (SyncMaster) - both monitors comes in fullscreen mode and film play in monitor of MacBook not SyncMaster as I want. On Snow Leopard only one monitor comes in fullscreen mode and film play in external monitor correct.
MacBook 13' unibody, Mac OS X (10.5.8)
Works the same here as it ever did. I think normal behavior is that the primary monitor (where the dock lives) is the one to play the video while the other goes black.
For those interested, Quicktime Pro 7.6.6. works grand in Lion, and in fullscreen leaves the other screen free to use as you wish. Inmo, this is how new QT should behave, but heck, they want ice water on mars as well.
If I want to watch a movie on an external display - I must have that opportunity (22" more better then 13" to watch films). Not very nice when I open a full screen movie, he moves from 22 inch to 13 inch monitor. Yes, and I can remove the brightness to 0 to not interfere.
Well, like I said, just use display preferences to make your external the primary and your movie will play there.
You right! It can solve this problem, but I think it's not very well: every time when I want to watch film change preferences.
Well, that's the human condition, we have been doing that since the dawn of time. But I suppose some smart applescript creator could automate that somewhow...not sure if applescript has access to system preferences, but it would go like this:
if run
change prefs
open qt in fullscreen
play movie
@ movie end
quit qt
change prefs back
end
Ha!
I hope Apple-developers will fix this little problem in future. =)
QuickTime in fullscreen mode doesn't correct work with external monitor.
