    Dual Monitor Movement

    To Mr. Frodobraggins,

    A newbie to the software world. I have found your software to be the best.
    I would like to know if there is a way I can move the second monitor. I have a dual monitor system in my truck. I would like to run FrodoPlayer on a secondary monitor. Is this possible?

    Yes, and no.

    If you can make the overlay work on a second monitor, then it won't be
    a problem at all.

    You can use the advanced position settings in the ini to do this.
    First, enable advanced settings in the ini.
    Then for example say you have 2 monitors.

    both monitors are 1024x768
    to display on the second monitor, position
    FP at

    Left 1024

    And that's it.

    Just to offer another method, There are single cards with dual outputs. I use a nvidia dual out with frodoplayer and it's drivers can remember geometry and placement seperate from the applicaiton. Frodoplayer always opens to the lower screeen, navigation always snaps to the overhead monitor.

    If that mouse option is important, it does give you that.

    If you are building from scratch, it's really easy to implement option, and the nvidia cards are not that expensive.
