Different Videos on two monitors

Open zakir8 opened this issue 7 years ago • 6 comments

Looks like two monitors are displaying different videos. There needs to be a selection of how this information needs to be displayed.

I don't have two monitors for testing purposes but I would think mpv may offer a switch or perhaps xscreensaver itself?

xscreensaver has an option, but it doesn't seem to be working. Maybe a bug?

It works for me on 2 monitors, different video on each. Coworker with 3 monitors gets different videos on each

I was looking to display only one video on all the monitors. I am not able to find this setting in xscreensaver.

Just an idea: you could make the video selection based on time of the day. For example (hours * 60 + minutes) % no_of_videos. That should give you the same video on each monitor with reasonable probability.

The script does consider the time of day when starting.
