[solved] dual monitor support?

Post by RikR »

My primary interest in UVNC is to control a PC I use as a media center. It uses my flat screen tv as a second monitor via an HDMI connection.

When I connect with UVNC 1.0.9.4 I can see the screen of the primary monitor, but can not seem to access the second screen (the TV).

Is this a feature not yet available in UVNC or is it an existing feature I am not using correctly?

UVNC is very nice, I just want to know if I am trying something not yet possible.

Thanks

Try:

1) Stop UltraVNC server.
2) Edit ultravnc.ini and change secondary=0 to secondary=1

In my case it shows both monitors in the viewer at the same time, pressing the switch monitor button goes back to primary monitor.

After posting I did figure out that if I click the Full Desktop icon of UVNC Viewer, I can then horizontal scroll to the other screen and control my browser window open there and access Netflix to stream movies. That makes it do for me exactly what I need.

This is awesome.
