You could also try vlc. Needs a few settings to get it to
play consistently in fullscreen on a 2nd
monitor/
screen without the control interface showing on that 2nd
monitor.
As for the black between videos, vlc autoplays the next item in the playlist, so create a black video of 10-30secs which you must pause, until you click on the next item in the playlist. Insert this black video between all other videos in the playlist.
To setup vlc to
play on the 2nd
monitor/
screen in fullscreen mode -
1. Connect your second
monitor (ensure it is
identified as "2" in Windows' Display Settings)
2. In vlc Tools > Preferences > Interface > All (under Show Settings at the bottom left corner) > scroll down to 'Video'
3. Under ALL > Video - General video settings:
Leave all items at their default settings, except for the following -
Enable "Fullscreen video output"
Disable "Embedded video"
Disable "Show media title on video"
Scroll further down to 'Window properties'
Video X coordinate 1920 (or end of your 1st
monitor width)
Video Y coordinate 1 (do not leave as 0)
Save.
Might be better to exit vlc at this
stage and re-start it to use the new settings.
That's it. vlc should now open any video in the playlist in fullscreen mode whilst the playlist and player controls remain on the primary
monitor.
