A couple of customers in the past have reported that this fixed up some compatibility issues they were having with VLC.

More info on how to create a Compatibility rule in DisplayFusion can be found here: http://www.displayfusion.com/KB/TroubleshootingInfo/#createcompatibilityrule

If you get a chance to try it out, please let me know how that works out.

Thanks! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/problems-with-vlc-media-player/?ID=dff405c1-51a9-4bd8-a637-39e8fd7ae831 Wed, 04 Jan 2012 05:49:43 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/problems-with-vlc-media-player/?ID=dff405c1-51a9-4bd8-a637-39e8fd7ae831 DisplayFusion I'm unsure if this is displayfusion's fault or VLC's, but I plan to post it on both forums.
What I do know is that it must be something conflicting between the two, seeing as I used to use VLC before displayfusion and never had a problem.
The problem is two parts-
The first problem: Occasionally I will be watching something through VLC. Then the video ends. I then go to open the next video, and it opens, but on the opposite screen as the VLC I was just watching. It will then open in ASCII text mode, where the video is displayed through ASCII. I have no idea why this happens. It happens randomly. Then when I close it, it closes all open VLC processes running.
Problem two: Similar to the first, I'll be watching VLC on my external monitor. A video will end. I will then go to open the next video, but then it just does nothing for 10 seconds and vlc closes.

In both predicaments, I'm watching in full screen. I can't find any settings in VLC for dual monitors, so I'm wondering if it has anything to do with displayfusion. Anyone else ever run into a problem like this or know how to solve it?
I'm running Windows 7 x64bit and displayfusion 3.4.0
Any help would be appreciated, thank you. ]]>
