Hi everyone! Just a thought here, but I remember having similar problems a couple of years ago, both on windows and ubuntu, and if I remember correctly, the screen that you want to play movies in needs to be the primary screen(ie, set the external screen as primary, and your laptop screen in this case, to secondary). Or you can, as browman said above, choose to use "mirror mode".
This is the same as in windows, so it's probably related to hardware and/or graphics drivers. I am not 100%, since it was a couple of years ago, but please go ahead and test it! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/490238 Title: Video Player does not show any video, but has audio, if connected to an external monitor (dual monitor setup) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/totem/+bug/490238/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
