VLC player, fullscreen on 2nd monitor detached video

General system Newbie

I’ve found three approaches from playing with VLC just now. I have tested all three of these and they all work.

Detach video from interface

Preferences -> Interface -> Untick “Integrate video in interface”.

Then, play a video and put it on any output you want.

Clone output

Tools -> Effects and Filters -> Video Effects -> Advanced -> Clone.

Put the clone output on any display you like.

Web interface

Set a password under Preferences -> All -> Interface -> Main interfaces -> Lua -> Lua HTTP.

then

View -> Add interface -> Web

Then, point a browser at http://localhost:8080 and log in with no username and the password you set above and you’ll get a web interface for controls.
