Xibo

More than one screen

Asked by Maarten Schuermans

I'm working on a project where i attach several tv-screens to each other. When I'm trying to control these screens like one screen and output some information to them, it only gets displayed on the first screen. I tried to fix this by changing the resolution of the layout to the full screen resolution of all the screens. Even this is not working

.

This has been answered many many times before.

Xibo does not have multi monitor support yet. You can't run multiple clients from one PC.

It will however expand to fill a Windows desktop that spans multiple monitors so long as the desktop is presented to Windows as one display (ie the extend my desktop on to this monitor tick in display preferences is NOT sufficient).

nVidia cards have a setting that joins the two heads as one completely - such that if you maximise a normal program like Internet Explorer it fills both displays. That's what you need to achieve.
