An organizer of an AV festival gave me a ring> He tried to play an .Exe on a PC with two monitors (extended) but it's visible on both monitors. Older versions of m.Objects seems not to have this error but the latest version does. I made a little test. that works on my system ok but not with his PC and monitors.
Does anyone know what a solution could be?
.exe on two monitors
Re: .exe on two monitors
Hi, Henk,
you can define the monitor to be used within the EXE.
Start the EXE, right-click the running window and set the video-output as needed (sorry can't be more specific as I do not have an EXE to look).
You can also use a start parameter to tell the EXE what video output to use ("filename.exe /2" for the third video-output).
Find more information on that in the manual (chapter "Realtime-rendering with presentation-file (EXE)" (translated from german)).

Re: .exe on two monitors
Thanks for your swift reply. Of course I know what you mean BUT the strange thing is that the show appears, no matter which output I choose always on both monitors.
Older versions of an .exe (made a few years ago) do not have is issue.

Re: .exe on two monitors
Same show as above on the same PC?Older versions of an .exe (made a few years ago) do not have is issue.
Then you should contact the MO team.

ps: Please tell next time in the initial post, what you already did/tried.
And tell also about MO version, OS used and hardware (if related to the problem like here).

Re: .exe on two monitors
Dear Henk,
In general, I would say that there are two possible reasons for this behavior:
1. The two displays are being operated in clone mode. In this case, however, every older EXE file should behave in the same way.
2. The user has unconsciously/unintentionally activated stereoscopy mode (commonly known as 3D), in which m.objects can distribute the images to 2 output devices, one for each eye, depending on the settings of the playback computer. However, if no stereoscopic photos or videos have been processed, both monitors display exactly the same thing. The mode should then of course remain switched off (see screen settings -> stereoscopy).
In order to show a file that was accidentally exported as a stereoscopic presentation on just one output device, you could switch to interlaced mode in the stereoscopy settings of the current presentation. However, even with this workaround, playing an EXE exported for stereoscopic playback requires significantly more graphics power than a file exported without this incorrect setting, so the producer should perform another export after correcting the setting in his m.objects show.
Best regards
