Hello, I have a quick question.

 

In the "readme" it states that 

  • On systems with multiple display devices, it records the main display only.

I currently use a laptop connected to two different monitors with the desktop being extended across both displays. When a test is recorded both screens are recorded side by side. Is this the correct functionality?

    Yes, there are some changes in VCL player itself. The functionality was described for early versions of VLC player (which is also supported). 

    If you want to customize this behaviour I'd reccomend to use 

    --screen-left

    parameter.

    Hi,

     

    The functionality of this script extension is to look for the VLC application and to start it providing some command-line parameters.

    The above means that you should check with VLC documentation whether the observed behavior is correct one.

    If the observed behavior can be controlled by some command-line parameter, you can check extension's source code (see above for description on how to do this) and add the required command-line parameter to meet your needs.
