I'm trying to set up a system that plays videos across three large HDTVs. I have the monitors all working, however when I try to maximize the video, it only maximizes on a single screen, rather than all three.
I'm running Windows 8.1 on a NUC DC53427HYE, which has an integrated Intel HD4000 graphics card. I've looked at stuff like Ultramon and DisplayFusion, but none seem to do what I need, which is to maximize a video across all 3 screens without showing the taskbar or anything else.
So, is there any software solution to this? Ideally it would be something that causes the computer to treat all 3 screens as one big screen, so I can simply hit "fullscreen" on whatever media player and it just works, however other solutions would also work as long as it ends up with the video file playing across all 3 screens without anything else showing.
Can you supply some more information about how the monitors are defined in the "Screen resolution" dialog and whether you can extend the desktop to all three. – harrymc – 2014-11-24T07:26:09.433
They are set as "extend desktop to this screen" and that works just fine. The problem I'm having is getting a video to play seamlessly across all 3 monitors without the taskbar or anything else showing. – AgentPaper – 2014-11-24T07:34:01.143
(1) Are all three monitors identical? (2) Can you manually resize the player across all three monitors? (3) Does setting the taskbar to hide automatically work for all monitors? – harrymc – 2014-11-24T09:24:46.913
(1) Yes, (2) Yes, (3) Not sure what you mean. – AgentPaper – 2014-11-24T09:53:31.970
(2) You mean that you can resize the player to full-desktop but you would rather do that with one press of a button? (3) I mean auto-hide. – harrymc – 2014-11-24T11:51:25.820
Is the end result you want the same as in this question? If not then what is missing?

The AutoHotKey solution is what I had in mind when asking my above question. You haven't answered also if setting the taskbar to auto-hide solves your problem.
