RPI4 Dual Monitors - #78

Closed excellapay closed 2 years ago

excellapay commented 3 years ago

Has anyone gotten dual monitors in RPI4 to work. with the GUI, I can have streams on 2 monitors, but I like this setup and would like to have it put 4 streams on each of the 2 monitors. The "offscreen" is not going to monitor 2.

I am attempting the same setup. I can't get any streams to start. Is it the same for you?

excellapay commented 3 years ago

Correct. Same for me. Cannot get it to display on second.

It appears that you have to specify the (second) monitor (rather than a pixel space where you expect it to be relative to the first monitor) with a "--display x" parameter in the omxplayer command line. Supporting that would require a pretty thorough rewrite if we are still supporting rotation, and, as this project is nearing the end of its useful life, I don't intend to embark on such an effort.

Thanks, Andy

Thanks for the effort you have put into this. I understand. Have you seen a different project that works on the Pi and can do dual monitors? I am thinking that the Pi is a little under powered.

RPiSurv may handle it
