How do you full screen an instance of chrome on EACH of your 3 NV Surround displays

[gbeer11]

What's up everyone, I did some searching around the web and came up short on answers. Any help is appreciated.

I'm a big fan of watching starcraft 2 streams on twitch.tv. I have a spanned nvidia surround 5760x1080 display setup on 3 40" LCDs. My problem is when i drag a window of the stream im watching to my second or third monitor i cannot full screen it. When i do, the video feed spans ALL three screens and "centers" itself on the middle display while blacking out the other left and right screen.

Ideally id like to have an individual stream fullscreened on the left or right screens without interfering with the other screens.

Is this possible? Thanks!

You need to un-span them. Make them each an individual desktop.

yep. such is the hassle of running a spanned resolution all the time.
switched to individual monitor res mode is the only way.
now if only nvidia would somehow have it work so that when you go back and forth all settings are remembered (like positioning and such).

its definitely a hassle to switch, i just leave it spanned and deal with having to manually fit things to each monitor

I figured it out! I should probably make a seperate thread.

So as you know if you have Nvidia Surround and use Chrome, that when you go into full screen mode some of you are unable to see full videos on your screen for youtube(unless you use html5), your favorite other sites that use flash. Before I get into details here is the fix:

1. Go to chrome://plugins/ and disabled the adobe flash player there

2. Go to http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ and click windows, then on the drop down click "Install for other Operating Systems"

3. Install

4. Now go to chrome://plugins/ it should look like this below

Code: Select all

5. They both have the saying Enable. The key is to go to NPAPI and click Enable.

6. Wallah it's fixed.

Ok so for you techno geeks out there, why does this work? Based off my research in short, Scroogle and Adobe teamed up so that flash was native in the API of Chrome. The problem is that it is incompatible with a lot of "High End setups" So most users will never see our issue due to how, "who is going to have 3 monitors right" If you want the terms PPAPI means Out of process and NPAPI is more like being in process.

So there you go see full screen video to your hearts content.
