Full Screen Problem With Dual Monitor Viewing

I have a 64 Bit system, Chrome browser and with flash player built in. I am attempting to view videos on a 2nd monitor while working on the primary monitor. I have tried this on various sites, TNT.tv, USANetworks.com, etc... I select full screen viewing. A message is displayed to exit full screen press escape. However, when I attempt to do anything else automatically exit full screen on the second monitor. This should not be an issue and with the way most people view video online, they are doing so on a 2nd monitor or TV. I have done a google search and it is a common problem, but there is no solution that seems to work.

I have just posted the same question - missed yours.
Adobe could you take a look into this - I think solving this problem can't be that hard.

Full screen issues with dual monitors in safari.

I have my 21 inch iMac connected to my 42" panasonic LCD TV. Up until recently I've been watching TV via my sling box back in the states. (I'm a soldier stationed in Germany). When I go to a full screen mode in Safari, I get full screen in my iMac and not the TV. Even when the window is in the TV. This never happened before, it's almost as if the iMac sees the TV but makes all full screen video available only on itself rather than where ever the window may be. Safari help tells me I can choose where I want full screen by swiping on the magic mouse, but I can't get it to work. How do I get my video to stay on my TV when I double click on the video instead of having it jump back to the iMac?

Reading your post full screen mode is working as Apple intended it to. When you set full screen mode on an app that has the ability it makes it full screen on the Mac and any other monitor is left blank while viewing that app. Currently there are no adjustments to change this. I would recommend providing feedback to Apple at www.apple.com/feedback to let them know what you anticipated.

[Non IE Regression] Support for full screen mode with multiple monitors

This seems to be a regression with Flash Player v11.2.202.x (for all other browsers).
With Internet Explorer it is still working.
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/890/cpsid_89050.html
== Support for full screen mode with multiple monitors ==
Full screen content will remain in full-screen on secondary monitors, allowing users to watch full-screen content while working on another display.
Tested on Windows 7 x64 SP1 with:
- Internet Explorer 9
- Firefox Release, Beta, Aurora, Nightly
- Opera 12 build 1116
In bugbase.adobe.com I cannot choose v11.2.x

Please vote for it If you have the same problem:

Full Screen Mode with Menu Bar view mode appears with Blue Background??

Can someone please help me figure out what I did exactly to unintentionally change the "Full Screen Mode with Menu Bar" view mode so that it now appears with a Blue Background, instead of the default gray one....and better yet, can someone let me know how I can switch it back to displaying the default gray background instead?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated... Thanks!

>let me know how I can switch it back to displaying the default gray background
SHIFT-Click the Paint Bucket pool in that area using the gray of your choice (e.g. 132, 132, 132).
(That's probably what you did to turn it blue.)
Or, more drastically, you can trash your preferences.

Full screen preview with one monitor

Hello,
I'm using Premiere Pro CS5 on a Mac with a single monitor. I would like to see the full screen preview on this monitor, hiding all GUI elements.
By reading around, I could only find the suggestion of selecting the Preview pane and press the ~ or ` key. Unfortunatly, it seems that this shortcut only triggers the Maximize or Return to the Original Size commands. GUI elements remain in the display.
Is there some preference to select somewhere?
Thank you, Paolo

That's as close as you can get with Premiere; it doesn't do a single-monitor fullscreen the way FCP does.

Screen Sharing problem with dual monitors in 10.6

When I'm using Screen Sharing from my Macbook to my iMac with dual displays (10.6.1 on both machines) It works fine when I initially connect, but when I switch to Display 1, it shows me Display 1, but though my cursor moves, I can't click on anything. It won't let me go back to viewing both displays either, and changing from Adaptive to Full Quality or vice-versa makes no difference, as does Scaling. This happens whether I'm on my local network or using Back-to-my-Mac. It was working fine under Leopard, but has been exhibiting this behavior since the 10.6 upgrade.

This is a very irritating bug. One thing that has worked for me a couple of times (I think a couple of times it also didn't work) is to turn on mirroring. Screen sharing then only shows one monitor, since they are both the same. I'm not sure if the monitors have to have the same resolution for this to work, mine do. The nice thing about this is that before quitting the screen sharing app you can just turn mirroring off again and it will go back to normal. It's easiest to do this by enabling the 'show displays in menu bar' in your displays preferences.

Full Screen Panning over Dual Monitors

I have a pretty quick and upfront question.
I would like to plug in two projectors to my Powermac, and then full screen a movie and have it span over both monitors. My movie is basicly double HD (2560x720) (two 1280x720 movies combined side by side). The point of this is to do Stereoscopic movies, and then we project both projectors one on top of the other. However, whenever we full screen the movie, it just full screens over one of the projectors.
We've Tried "Full Screen" and "Presentation" mode? Is there something we're just missing, or is this not possible.
Hopefully someone can help Thanks in advance.

The main problem with playing two videos to two monitors (not counting the fact that many PCs aren't that great at playing that large a video anyway), is that the drive is seeking to two files in different places on the disk. That would be a lot worse too in the case of optical discs.
With one QuickTime file played on two screens (as can be done with Director), the video is coming from one file, with all the data nicely interleaved on the drive to save having to do any seeks at all.

New arch installation, problems with dual monitors

tldr: nvidia setting are not saving when when I leave a session.
yesterday I wiped my computer and went from ubuntu to arch on my desktop (been using arch on laptop for a while). I'm having problems getting my dual monitor settings to save. I configure the settings via nvidia server settings and it works fine but when I go to reboot or log out it goes back down to just one screen and I have reset up nvidia.
gdm has never seen both monitors its always just the single screen.
software
nvidia drivers 280.13
xfce4 v4.8.0
gdm 3.0.4-2
kernal 3.0-arch
my system is up to date with a yaourt -Syu
Sorry if this has been answered but my googlefoo was not strong today.

GDM *should* use a xorg.conf if it exists.... I also noticed that Arch keeps a xorg.conf.d folder, which I'm not sure the nvidia-settings app knows how to handle.
Also, make sure you are running the nvidia-settings app with root privileges, as you'll need those to write a xorg.conf in /etc/X11.

Full screen mode with dual displays

I use a 20" iMac, and have a 23" ACD hooked up to it. I use the 23" as the main display.
Whenever i view a QT video, if i choose fullscreen it does it on the iMac screen. How can i get it to play fullscreen on the 23" ACD?

How can I solve this same problem globaly? In other words, is there a way to tell the computer (my macbook) to throw ALL full screen things to the second display instead of the macbook's display?
Realplayer, WMA, and computer games all still go to my macbook display. Ples help.

Full screen mode with dual screen

I have a Macbook Pro and use a second screen. I do like the new full screen feature but the app (safari, chrome, opera, firefox etc...) will only full screen with the primary screen (macbook screen). Really defeats the point of having two screens and having the full screen feature combined.
Any resolutions or is there a new update coming?
In Summary:
Full screen mode will only work on your primary monitor and not a separate screen. Please help.

Known issue.
Hopefully, it'll be fixed in a future update.

Use 2 Full Screen Apps in Dual Monitors

I always work with two monitors. How I can use two full-screen apps at time (e.g. Xcode + iCal) ?

Here is a screen shot of my 3 monitor setup under Snow Leopard, and it is my understanding that Lion will make the two side monitors display a linen pattern.
The center monitor (iMac 27") is Aperture in full screen mode, the left one has Mail, the right Safari, both have Aperture HUDs.
I'm thinking that real linen would have been cheaper than faking it with two external monitors.

Full screen problem, with embedded flash player in a flash player

Hi,
I am having an issue with the flash video player embedded within a flash player movie. The issue is that when my main flash is in Full Screen mode and I try to open that screen where embedded movie player is, when it is opened the inner movie player covers the complete screen, on the other hands it should show that embedded player in normal condition with other background stuffs.
Can anyone guide me what step should I take to avoid this or if it is possible to do this kind of scenario in Full Screen mode or not?
Looking forward to your prompt help.
Best regards,
Irfan

Big Problems with Dual Monitors

I am running a Mac Pro with the Nvidia graphics card. I did boot camp to intall windows, but later decided to remove the partition adn install parallels. The problem is thaton the mac side when I place a monitor on the second port, all my screens do is flash blue and never show up. I tired reinstalling the os, and this didn't fix it. I have 2 20 in apple cinima screens, but I can't use them both becasue when I plug the second one in both of my screens go away (flashing blue on and off). How can I fix this? it is real problem.

Have you also tried setting up dual display using the windows settings instead of the NV control panel?
Also (and this one is obvious, but worth checking)...if your HDMI display has multiple inputs (DVI, VGA, HDMI, etc.), make sure you have it set to the correct input.
I'm guessing the issue is with the HDMI display. Is there any way you can try a DP monitor instead of the HDMI monitor? That could help narrow the problem even further. Nvidia is very particular about the cable adapters/dongles that they claim support for with their cards. The one we sell is officially supported (made by Bizlink).

IChat screen sharing with dual monitors on client

Hello,
I'm trying to help a buddy out via screen sharing. The problem is he has two monitors. When I connect, they both appear as one display on my monitor resulting in a very small & hard to view image.
Is there a way to only show one monitor at a time? I know this works with regular screen sharing when Macs are on the same LAN, but I can't figure out how to do it via iChat.
thanks,
Shaun

Hi,
They could of course set the screen/Monitor to Mirror for a while as well
Also in the arrangement part of the Displays they could set it to have on on top of the other which might display slightly better if your Screen is 4 X 4 ratio
