Funny, with this version I can no longer drag the video to my attached TV and watch the movies there. As soon as I maximise the Window, it always goes straight to my monitor. haven't found a way yet to fix this....

#2.1 +gdodson on 09 Dec 2008 - 20:20

It was the same way with the previous release. I'm sticking with 0.9.6 until this issue is fixed.

#2.2 +Odom on 10 Dec 2008 - 07:33

I don't remember which verson I had previously, but am now as well back on 0.9.6.

Found a workaround from someone on the VLC forums for this:
http://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=53580#p175797

Version 0.9.8a

Solution a:
1. Go to Tools->Preferences...->Interface
2. Deselect the option "Integrate video in interface"
3. Play your video
4. Then turn the window on second monitor and maximize with double-klick

Solution b:
Use 0.9.6

Solution c:
Wait until they fix it in 0.9.8b or higher

Does anyone know if it is possible to use the old interface in this version?

I am still stuck with 0.8.6b because I greatly prefer the old interface.

yeah, because of all the problems new versions of vlc always have i just gave up and went to KMplayer. Never had any problems since

I've gone back to 0.8.x build as 0.9 just hangs all the time, ie the video playback will just freeze but the audio
will continue to play and sometimes the whole playback freezes... going back to 0.8 build and the same files play absolutely fine. so might look again when it get to 1.0... but for now the 0.9 is a no no

That's funny, on my system the .8 would always freeze my whole computer when i stopped a movie, closed the program, or anything having to do with stopping using it... (it would play fine)

but now, with .9, it's fixed again... and I didn't change anything, dunno what was causing it!
