MLB.TV and dual monitor full screen fix.

There is a known issue with mlb.tv and dual monitors. This is caused by a security issue in Flash which means that the browser always has to be 'on top' meaning that you can't browse and have full screen flash on your second monitor.

The main drawback of this is that you can't watch the game on your TV whilst reading the game thread - which is UNACCEPTABLE.

There is an unofficial fix for this which I found here.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qwH_-C2-93E This short YouTube video has a hack/fix for windows that makes the 2nd display stay in full screen. Beware it's ultra nerdy since it involves a hex editor and modifying one of the Flash Player .dll files. I just made the changes as indicated in the video and it works. Plus I have the most recent Flash player installed - 10.0.22.87 EDIT - Note this appears to work only if you are watching the games using Mozilla Firefox. Tested using Internet Explorer 8 and still snaps out of Fullscreen - probably using a different set of dlls.

There are lots on free Hex editors around and they are very easy to use.

I have tried the hack and it works, however my widescreen TV would not 'snap' into a full screen view on the second screen unlike when I close the lid on my laptop.

Obviously this is a great benefit. Just remember that this does not work in IE.

And because you can log in twice with your mlb.tv account, this means that you can watch two games at once in [almost] full view:

If anyone has a fix for getting the second monitor to be full screen as well I would be most grateful!
