Hola! Well, I just connected my laptop into a Maytag 42” plasma screen tv, via a VGA plug. It seems to work perfectly fine at first, until I tried to play a random *.rm or *.avi video. All my *.rm, *.rmvb, *.avi, *.mp4 movies that work fine on my laptop turn into a plain black screen on my tv. Since the whole point of connecting my laptop to this tv was to watch my videos on a big screen , I was wondering if anyone could help me fix that. PS: I just had the latest k-lite codex installed on my pc, but the problem is still unchanged Thanks xxx (I hope this is the right section to post this thread…)
You can't play video files on your secondary screen, it's a common problem. Make the TV your primary monitor then it should work.
mmm, seems logic, but how can I make it my primary monitor? I tried to mess with the settings but without really knowing what i was doing, and I messed up good and had to restore my pc into an earlier date Can you plz help me set my tv as a primary monitor?(anyone else's help is also welcomed) My laptop is a cheesy compaq presario 2500
Finally! I figured out a decent solution to watch my laptop videos (all formats included) on my VGA connected TV, without having this annoying black screen! 1-Get Directx 9 installed on ur pc (direct 9.0c worked fine for me) 2-Configure ur video player, Some player have optional overlay output. [/VideoLAN Player: Deselect the overlay video output [/Media Player Classic (K-lite): Select these choices. Thank you for ur time…
