Configuring Totem Movie Player for TV-Out

Post by BlueLion »

Hi there,
can anybody help me to configure Totem Movie Player so that it plays on TV-Out?
The options "TV-Out in fullscreen by NVIDIA (NTSC)" and "TV-Out in fullscreen by NVIDIA (PAL)" are both greyed and thus not selectable.
Here's my xorg.conf:

Can't you change TV-out in nvidia-settings? (gksu nvidia-settings)

Thanks for the reply, Husse.
Could you be a little more specific - how do I have to change nvidia-settings, so that Mplayer plays on TV-Out???

Thanks

Don't have nividia right now and no TV out
You can configure dual monitors there if my memory servers me well
Then it's another story to get Totem to play well, but if the dual monitors are correctly configured it should be easier

Thanks Husse,
I have successfully configured dual monitors - on VLC Player I also succeed in using TV-Out, but I'd like to use Totem Movie Player as well,
but Toltem stubbornly refuses to do so ...
