    mplayer { -display xxx } does not work, says 'option unknown'

    ffplay does not seem to be any methods so far, via good searches

    I am currently dragging the videos files from an explorer window onto ffplay, and when it opens the video and plays I quickly move the mouse over to the far right edge of the window to click it, this is so that it changes the windows view style to 'movable' and then I can move the mouse over to the top caption bar and then drag it to the second AOC 1920x1080 monitor, press "F" key to fullscreen the video. The second monitor is connected to my 1366x768 laptop via HDMI. This is how i've been doing it all this time but it is becoming tedious and i'd like to just go straight over to the second monitor w/out all those extra steps.

    fwiw, MPC-HC does not allow this, even when I drag its window to the second monitor and press Alt+Enter key, the video will play fullscreen but only on my laptop's screen.

  2. Mplayer option "-screen <x>" should work; requires OpenGL, option "-vo gl"

    Thanks raf, this worked, though a tad stutter'y, it woks. w/out the { -vo gl } then the screen is bright green. Anyway. Maybe ffplay has a solution, it plays w/out stutter on my hdmi screen.

    Code:
    cmd /c C:\tools\mplayer\mplayer c:\dst\video.mkv -vo gl -screen 1
