Not really an issue but, something that should go on the wiki? about android-vlc-remote HOT 5 CLOSED

I agree, I don't think you had a wiki when I posted that :)

If it can be useful to somebody, here's the command line I use : 
$ sudo mount -t cifs -o username=myuser,password=mypass //192.168.0.9/Films/ 
/mnt
$ vlc
--fullscreen
--browse-dir="/mnt/" (useless :( )
--extraintf oldhttp
--http-album-art

And as I mount a SMB share over Wifi, I added : 
--file-caching=1800
--network-caching=1800 (probably useless)
--smb-caching=1800 (probably useless too, share is mounted as fs)

I use exactly the same command line as Mike with the adition of:
--http-host=:1050 (Change port)
--video-x=1300 --video-y=100 (This is awesome. Plays the video in external 
monitor. If it is not present it plays on laptop screen! Change the "x" value 
for something bigger than your screen resolution.)

Commands like --qt-fullscreen-screennumber=2 and --directx-device=\\.\DISPLAY2 
didnt work for me, but you may have a try.
