tests below in overlay mode 1
1st scenario
1. I play a movie in single screen mode, it plays ok; I close bsplayer
2. I extend my desktop on the 2nd screen
I play a movie
on the main screen, it's not displayed correctly in windowed mode but ok in fullscreen
3. I move the movie window on the secondary screen, wait for the overlay change to take effect [very important !]. It displays ok in both windowed and fullscreen modes
4. going back to the main screen changes nothing, the bar is still here
2nd scenario
1. I play a movie in single screen mode, it plays ok
2. I extend my desktop on the 2nd screen [without closing bsplayer]
the movie is still displayed correctly on the main screen [in both windowed and fullscreen modes]
3. I move the movie window on the secondary screen. The movie window is blank and stays blank; no overlay change happens, 2nd screen can't be used [like bsplayer hadn't been notified that the 2nd screen exists, or maybe the overlay surface hasn't been extended to the 2nd monitor]; going full screen blanks the main screen.
4. If we close bsplayer, we're back to step 2 of the 1st scenario
note: tested scenario 2 with overlay mode 2/force RGB mode (=> no overlay) with same results
I conducted my tests with a secondary PC monitor, not a TV; I don't know what the differences would be [except for a resolution change]
my video card is an ATI mobility radeon 9000 (driver 6.14.1.6307)
I can't tell how different a geforce based video card is when it comes to dual display
P.S. I realize that this doesn't help you much :-/
