Mirroring on dual monitor RPi 4 #261

I am using a Raspberry Pi 4 with 2 monitors attached and when I launch RpiPlay it only uses the main one. It would be great to be able to use both of them for mirroring.

Thanks in advance

this is an X11 xwindows issue rpiplay makes no decision about window placement.

rpiplay -> gstreamer -> X11

Install xdotool if you don't have it, I think it can be used to move windows between different screens.

if it is not in your distro, find it on github.

@DevPizzini : Did you manage to do this? I'm interested in that too.

Also interested in this. I have a pi4 running official 7" touchscreen, and want to use RPiPlay to output to a separate HDMI-fed display. Running Buster lite so no GUI. RPiPlay seems to only display on the small touchscreen, rather than the huge tv it's connected to.
