Running boxee in dual screen

[mathiasm]

Hi all,

First of all, I can't say how much I appreciate boxee, and it's an absolutely amazing application. So thank you for that.

I do however have one problem. I have an 24" iMac and an 46" HDTV hooked up as a dual screen. The iMac is set up as my primary screen and the HDTV as my secondary.

This is what I want to do:
Open boxee and run it it on my secondary screen and control it with the apple remote. Simultaneously, I want to be able to work on my iMac.

At this moment, to get boxee to run on my HDTV, I have to set the HDTV as my primary screen. I can then open and control boxee with my remote, but it freezes my iMac.

Is this in any way possible, or will it be possible in the future? At this moment, I have to use VLC for movies.

In advance, thank you for all answers.

this is a bug... it should be resolved in the next build. :)

Thank you for fast answer.

But if I understand this correctly, I will be able to;

1. Run boxee on the secondary screen (will it be like in VLC, where you can choose which screen to run it in full screen?)
2. Run boxee in full screen on one screen and at the same time use the computer.

Am I correct? :)

yep... this is how it always was.

this is something that just broke; in the dec 4th release.

matter of fact, that's how i use it on linux. :)

Great, thank you :) Do you know when the next release will be out?

it's expected on Jan 8th.

I would really like the dual screen ability of Boxee to work before Jan 8th because of my Holiday break from work. If anyone would like to me test the latest build for the fix of dual screen capability I would be more than happy to.

I'd love that as well. Right now I have to use VLC instead of boxee.
