View Fullscreen AVS on separate Monitor

[Loopey]

Wow, talk about reviving a dead thread... lol @ 10 YEARS.

Damn... I feel really old now

(I used this for Milkdrop, it may apply for AVS as well but I am not sure)
I HAVE THE ANSWER! Well at least it works for me. Here is what I did:

Options>Visualization>Configure Plug In (To enter this screen you cannot have the Visualization tab open)

Common Settings Tab>
The changes you will make are in the Fullscreen Settings portion
Display Adapter> In the drop down menu select 2. Then check Use Fake fullscreen mode

Click the DualHead button (bottom right)
On this screen there are two drop down menus. BOTH should be "span both screens"

This worked for me and my setup. I hope this helps =)

You need to make sure the overlay is set to output to the correct monitor too.

What you guys are looking for here can actually be done very easily with a Nvidia-based card.

Get into AVS options, under Overlay mode, select "overlay mode", and then "set desktop to color". Then hit the default-color button (if you need to), now your background is your AVS. In Nvidia, select your second monitor (or TV) to be an extension of your desktop. Looks really cool, great for parties ect. Used this solution on my last 3 Nvidia cards, the most recent being a GeForce 5700.

I'm not sure if this solution is posted somewhere else or not. I'm just searching for a way to make this work with my new ATI card, and thought I'd ad my solution for my old Nvidia card.

You know, most of us will see this as spam which is a valid reason here for banning. Also, it's a lame kind of spam since there isn't even a download section on your site.

My opinion as based on the screenshots:
The colors miss intensity (a lot)
Most colorschemes are just.. wrong.

I could of course give a more detailed review if I were able to download it.

1. Spam. Well if you say so. Please accept my apologies
2. I actually appreciate your feedback. This color schemes are not made by professional and there was simply no time for me to get deeper into this subject as I was busy with everything else. Little bit later I am going to dedicate much more attention to this particular area. Still people that saw the thing live seem to like it and IMHO even these unprofessional colors are for the most part better then chemical color mix you see in most presets on AVS/Milkdrop (take away few that are done by qualified people)
3. Download. It'll be there in a week or so. If you wish to look at it now then email me to kostya@exsotron(_remove_it_)com and we can arrange something now. Put visualizer as a subject

This one does

This visualizer from EXSOTRON can run fullscreen on any monitor at any resolution. Some screenshots are here

Nullsoft doesn't work on AVS anymore as you have read above.
Instead, they've made AVS open source software, so you're welcome to go ahead and make it so if you like.

As for now, you are able to use AVS fullscreen on four moninitors.
In short:

Primary: overlay mode (drag items to secondary)
Secondary: drag over the AVS window with a resolution that's a bit bigger than the secondary monitor's resolution.
third, fourth: clone

Multi monitor AVS

It's mid-2006 and we have Winamp 5.24 and we still don't have any solution. More and more people are getting 2 or more monitors. 4 monitors are getting to be the norm with gamers and their SLI video cards and such. We need a good solution to help solve this. We need to be able to define a monitor to fullscreen visualization instead of just primary. In some cases the fullscreen AVS spills over into the secondary monitor. Winamp is not keeping up with the technology? I can't believe that I even uttered that. I have a hard time believing that. What happened?

Is somebody going to fix this?

[hboy]

actually 5.08 is also out

[Mr_Nudge]

That should work, thats not updating avs, just winamp, which happens every 6 months or so, and since 5.07 was recently released, i can assume we'll be waiting a while

[DeadPoet101]

There are plugi-ins that allow multi-monitor selection... (See the CDG Plug-in) Why not in AVS? Heck, adding it to the Base Winamp would be nice. Select another monitor for your movies... For your play lists... For your AVS!!!

Fullscreen AVS

I am surprised at the amount of technical questions about running this in fullscreen mode. I had a lot of trouble getting it to work at first but i think I have simplified the process. Here's my setup, which works quite well. I use this as a backdrop for my band.

I attach a projector via the monitor cable to my laptop. (You could use a separate monitor of course instead of the projector).

I setup my laptop to Extend My Desktop onto the second monitor. Set the resolution according to what your video card can support.

Configure Winamp to suppress the text in fullscreen and window modes.

Start Winamp and drag the player over to the second monitor and maximize it.

This sounds basic but it seems to be generating a lot of back and forth dialogue.

If the Winamp window is EMPTY on the second monitor, but OK on the primary, it may be the frequency or display settings between your adapter and the monitor\projector. Make sure they match.

I suggest you search the forums, as I implied this topic has come up at least a gazillion times.
