 Posted: Fri Mar 20, 2009 12:18 am Post subject: mplayer no longer fully fullscreen |
 |
|
I enabled Kernel Mode Switching for my intel gma4500, and upgraded to the newest xorg and intel driver and now mplayer doesn't go to full screen properly.
If I use the xv driver as I had been doing, the video gets scrunched to the left of my screen, leaving the rest black.
If I use x11, the video stays the same size, and the rest of the screen goes partially black.
Both of these previously worked fine.
I can almost get a full screen with the gl driver, but I get thick black borders on all four sides of the video.
The zoom option has no affect.
Are there any other video drivers I should try to build mplayer with or is there something I might need to put into xorg.conf to fix this?
Thanks |

I'm experiencing the same issue; did you find a solution to this? |

Do you mean this behaviour?

16:9 videos are working correctly now since the last update of mplayer and enlightenment. Only with 4:3 those problems remain.
I don't have a solution. Only a theory:
Which windowmanager do you use? In my case it's enlightenment e16. When I asked that problem I got the answer that it's working at least with KDE, Fluxbox and Openbox. I've never tried it, because I don't even think in switching from e16 to another windowmanager.
So I guess, the problem is related to the windowmanager rather than to mplayer itselfs. |

| If you need a full working mplayer, use the version before vdpau-integration. Could be 1.0_rc2_p28450, but not sure. |

Fixed by starting mplayer with the -zoom option and pressing the "f" button to switch to fullscreen during playback.
-hope this helps. |

I ran into the same problem in e16 with fullscreen mplayer playing 4:3 video on a wide-screen display. I mentioned it on the enlightenment-users mailing list and the e16 dev, Kim Woelders, responded: | Quote: | | Aargh! I have been messing around in this area way too many times. It seems that mplayer sets bogus aspect ratio hints (the ones that were appropriate for the window before fullscreening) which e16 obeys, causing the problem. I have committed a fix so that aspect ratio hints are ignored when fullscreening. |
AFAICT, the problem is now fixed in the svn version of e16 and should part of version 1.0.5. |
