Hi,

I use my TV as a monitor to watch Youtube, Netflix videos and video files with Media Player Classic and VLC media player. The TV has a greater resolution than my PC monitor (1920x1080 vs 1600x900). When I try to move full screen video windows from PC to TV the video won't scale up to fill the whole screen. If I move the video in a windowed mode to the TV screen and toggle full screen there it works fine but the extra step is a bit annoying.

Is there any way to move full screen videos properly? The PC and TV have an HDMI connection which goes through a Yamaha RXV AV receiver.

A couple of pics to illustrate. TV is left and PC monitor right.

Full screen videos set their size when they're full screened, and don't re-detect the screen size if they're moved by DisplayFusion, because they don't expect to be moved. We're hoping to add a feature in the future that will allow you to run multiple operations from a hotkey, so then you could have a hotkey that would restore the window, move it, then full screen it.

We'll be sure to let you know when that's available

Thanks!

Ok, in the latest version of DisplayFusion, you can download scripted functions, or make your own. We've put a sample one in there for you, called "Move Window and Go Fullscreen." Just click 'Download Scripted' on the Settings > Functions tab, then double-click that script to download it. Give it a hotkey and you should be all set

Thanks!
