I didn't know that it was possible to tweak the Myth GUI to
oprerate on
two separate screen as you describe. Are there any HOWTO available
that
describes how to set that up?
I can see how I can manage to get xine or mplayer to display on any
device using command line options but how do I do this with the
"player"
that Myth uses for displaying TV or recorded shows?
I think the easiest way would be to have it just clone the two
screens. I don't believe
that there are any menu items that are useful while a video is playing
(and myth isn't
designed for multi-tasking like that anyway, I don't believe). I know
with my own system,
I could do something like that because the PVR-350 output can be
selected for the player
and the frontend could be running on a normal X video card by default.
The menu screen
would go black when the video starts on the TV and would come back
when the video stops.
I vaguely remember there being an option that lets you not use the
internal video player and
instead supplant it with an external command. Not sure if it was
really there or if I just imagined
it (or if it's been deprecated).
Would it work to just clone the displays if they are running at diffrent
resolutions? I guess that a small TFT only might have 640x480 and my
projector now runs at 800x600 but the new one will run at 1600x1200.
I really think that it would be nice to have this feature implemented.
