I can't run any fullscreen video on my second monitor. I tried with youtube on google chrome, netflix on firefox and vlc.
Any ideas on why?

The only way to bypass it is to maximize it/go fullscreen on the main display and then send it to the desired one (WINKEY+SHIFT+RIGHT_ARROW)
I couldn't figure out where to watch in the logs to check what happen

I use chrome to watch netflix and youtube in kiosk mode
just save the app shortcut then edit it and add --kiosk and --window-position=X,0
where X stand for the x coordinate where the second display starts

check your displays with:
$ xrandr --query
that will make chrome go fullscreen and load on the second display for youtube -> youtube.com/tv (works awesome)
