Won't go full screen on 2nd monitor - n8mills - 2022-12-27 Debug log: usetuhamoj (paste) Kodi from Debian (19.4 Debian package version: 2:19.4+dfsg1-2). Platform: Linux x86 64-bit compiled 2022-04-09 by GCC 11.2.0 for Linux x86 64-bit version 5.15.30 (331550) Kodi installed using "apt install kodi" in terminal Add-on or skin troubleshooting: No skins installed, only universal search installed prior to this issue. Subsequent installs haven't changed the behavior Expected Behavior: I want to use full screen on my secondary monitor. I can maximize in windowed mode and this annoys only me, my family is unbothered. Actual Behavior: Kodi moves to my primary monitor in order to go into fullscreen mode. I posted all this to GIThub and they closed my request immediately because I didn't include a debug log. After adding debug log it remained closed. I'm posting here before opening a new GIT bug in hopes of a better response. RE: Won't go full screen on 2nd monitor - n8mills - 2022-12-27 After poking around in forums I recall that I didn't do this before installing:
So, possible I'm pulling from an unsupported repo? But now that I'm trying to run that in terminal it just keeps timing out over and over RE: Won't go full screen on 2nd monitor - basilgello - 2022-12-27 (2022-12-27, 01:31)n8mills Wrote: After poking around in forums I recall that I didn't do this before installing: The repo you installed Kodi is Ubuntu one. It is Kodi from Debian migrated to Ubuntu. However, I am running KfD on dual monitors (LVDS built into laptop and TVs on HDMI) and everything works. Can you make screenshot of your Settings - Video pane? I can compare with mine working in fullscreen. Also, does running "kodi --standalone" help you? RE: Won't go full screen on 2nd monitor - n8mills - 2022-12-27 I have settings > system > display Previous version allowed me to select which monitor I want for "primary" and I don't see this setting anymore. RE: Won't go full screen on 2nd monitor - n8mills - 2022-12-27 Running "kodi --standalone" made no difference except that when I take it out of full screen it returns to the TV. Normally it stays on the CPU monitor. There is also this error, fwiw: failed to open zone.tab RE: Won't go full screen on 2nd monitor - basilgello - 2022-12-27 Your Kodi instance by default uses Wayland display server. Are you are running X server there? Forcing Kodi to use X11 might solve the issue:
If that solves the issue, there is a bug in Kodi you shoukd report on Github as it does not detect 2nd monitor. RE: Won't go full screen on 2nd monitor - n8mills - 2022-12-27 I don't know what X server is, so it's unlikely I am running that. I tried the windowing=x11 command as suggested and that didn't fix it, but when changing back to wayland1 it works as desired. I confirmed that when I launch without arguments the selection of "wayland1" doesn't yield this same result. I'm off to submit a bug report. Thanks for your guidance! RE: Won't go full screen on 2nd monitor - n8mills - 2022-12-27 I created a new issue at github, hopefully they address it. https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/issues/22340 RE: Won't go full screen on 2nd monitor - ray1112 - 2023-01-07 Thank you basilgello, n8mills. I have the same problem. You advice (kodi --windowing=x11) is working for me. RE: Won't go full screen on 2nd monitor - n8mills - 2023-01-08 Good to have a comrade in my struggles RE: Won't go full screen on 2nd monitor - n8mills - 2023-02-05 Full uninstall/reinstall solved it. My monitors are now found in the "settings>systems>display" menu by their real names and not just by "wayland#" |
