Re: [Pykaraoke-discuss] Command line options for song window

[Mark Fiedler]

Hello,

I ran several tests launching a song directly via pycdg.  The song window
always appeared on the screen where it was launched from regardless of the
window-x option value.  For example, if the terminal window was on screen
1 then the song window would appear at the right most edge of screen 1.  If
I slid the terminal window over to screen 2 and launched pycdg, the song
window appeared on screen 2.  If I slid the terminal window halfway between
screen 1 and 2, it would usually show on screen 1 unless approximately 80
percent of the terminal window was showing on screen 2 then it would appear
on screen 2.  Pycdg did seem to recognize the other options (window-y,
width, height), just not the window-x option.  Please let me know if you
have any other suggestions or need additional information.  

Thanks for the help,
Mark

Hi,

 I'm using PyKaraoke 0.5 on Ubuntu 7.10 with nVidia Twinview enabled. I
want the song window to appear on the second screen. No matter what I do,
the song window always appears on the screen where the main PyKaraoke search
window resides.  I am using the following command line options: pykaraoke
--window-x=1300 --window-y=80 --width=1000 --height=560. I have been unable
to figure out why what is wrong.  Does anyone know how to resolve this?  The
command line options for PyKaraoke indicate this should be possible
(pykaraoke --help).  Thanks.

Does it work when you launch the song directly via the player? (e.g. 
pycdg song.cdg for a CDG file).

Thanks,
Kelvin.

Try adding the horizontal resolution of your first display to the value
you're passing in for window-x. I.e. if you've got a 1024x768 display, pass
in -window-x=1024 instead of 0. X may just be addressing it all as one big
display instead of two virtual ones.

Last year when I ran shows I used pycdg directly and this is how I
positioned the CD+G displays for my shows on the secondary port (where the
audience and singer could see it), so it kept all my geeky behind-the-scenes
stuff out of the public eye :)
