Playing music videos on Extended Desktop screen

[PaulK]

OK I can confirm that it is not the codec, I installed as directed and tested and no change, Video will only play on the primary display :(

I too have been having the problem described by PaulK until I accidentally discovered it depended on the video's filetype. If I added a .wmv it played perfectly on the outboard monitors. The singers playlist would be replaced with the video as expected and return to the playlist when completed.

However, if I added an .avi file to the playlist, the singers playlist would be replaced by a black screen, just as PaulK described.

I downloaded and installed "K-Lite Codec Pack 3.8.0 Full", rebooted and tried again. No change. Playback of avi files result in the monitors going black.

Is there a configuration step for the codec I've missed? I hate to have to convert all my avi files to a filetype that does work, but that's my fallback if no one has a solution.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Unfortunately AVI files are almost as bad as Zip files. There are many different formats and a codec for each one.
