Select X11 Display

Hello,

I have a problem with SDL I hope you can help me out with.

I have followed this tutorial (http://www.dranger.com/ffmpeg/) and
results are perfect.

My problem is that I need to play 7 different movies in 7 different
displays (x-displays in X11), and I don’t know how can I do it, since I
haven found any SDL function that enables you to select the display.

If I could do it, I could, for example, have seven different threads and
each one operating in a different display.

I have been reading about OpenGL and SDL integration, since with GLX you
can select a glxcontext ?and attach it to a thread?, but I don’t know
exactly how must I do it.

Any help will be of much help.

Look at the 1.3 release. It has all the features you want. OTOH, it is not
complete and strictly prerelease right now.

Thank you very much for your answer.

The problem with 1.3 release of SDL is that I can’t find any actualized documentation. Any suggestion on which functions should I look at in order to select one screen or another?

Still, the fact that it is a prerelease worries me. Is there any other solution out there which can help me to achieve what I want, and that I can use together with SDL, if possible?

Than you very much,

Thank you very much for your answer.

documentation. Any suggestion on which functions should I look at in order
to select one screen or another?

The documentation is in doxygen format in the header files. I don’t recall
if the extracted docs are in SVN or not. But, you’ll have to download the
source for at least the header files anyway.

Still, the fact that it is a prerelease worries me.

As it should. :slight_smile:

Is there any other solution out there which can help me to achieve what I
want, and that I can use together with SDL, if possible?

I don’t know. I have never tried to solve this problem.
