Hi guys, I just started using dualview with my GTX 260. The main reason for it was to play games, while being able to watch movies or some other video like a music video on the 2nd screen, but the moment I run the full screen program on one, the video goes blank on the other, I've been looking for awhile but couldn't find any answers yet, would love any help or advice

I've finally got it everyone!!!

I managed to do it with vlc mediaplayer 0.8.6
go to settings, Video, check the advanced settings checkbox on the lower right, go on to outgoing modules subsetting and there from videooutgoing module choose OpenGL video output!

with these i can watch a movie on the tv and play on the monitor no problem at all!

Yippiee!

(i guess the key is to get the player to not play using directx or direct3d but with opengl, so if you can get a player to do this, it might work with other players as well)

Cheers!
