That would be my strategy if I was running Android 4.2 (where there is a
framework to control content on multiple displays rather than just one).  I
was curious if anyone had cracked how
VideoView/stagefright/nuplayer/mediaplayerservice decide to put a video
full-resolution on HDMI (without the other views/controls).  It might not
be possible at the application level, but I'm still looking to find an
answer either way.
