Posted: Mon Jan 08, 2007 2:20 am Post subject: [SOLVED] mplayer scaling fullscreen issues. |
|
|
i use mplayer for my videos and i'm having issues getting it to go fullscreen. i went to the mplayer site but the answer to my question was WAY over my head. first of all, it only pseudo answered the question because it said you can only do fullscreen if you enter it in the shell. well, what if i want it to be an option. like rightclicking it for instance? is there a better video player? or can this be done with mplayer?
also, as soon as a video file is done playing in mplayer, it automatically closes! why? i'd like for it to loop back to the beginning of the file and play it all over again... for THIS particular issue i couldn't find any documentation on it.
and if i open a video from the browser, it only brings up the video window, not the control panel gui. what's up with that?
what i have done so far to fix the issue (which hasn't fixed anything) is i've gone into ~/.mplayer/gui.conf and made the following changes...
Code: |
vo_driver = "vx" #used to be x11
gui_skin = "phony-1.1" #used to be default
|
i downloaded the phony-1.1 skin from this mplayer skin directory. i don't know what else i have to do. i'm not sure if that's the right name for it in the gui.conf file. but it's still coming up in the default skin. and it's not coming up as an option in the preferences menu... can someone please help?

Well, normally you can enter and leave fullscreen by hitting the 'f' key while mplayer is running. Hit 'q' to quit. Mplayer skins should be extracted to ~/.mplayer/skins directory. Each skin you extract should create it's own subdirectory in ~/.mplayer/skins. Here, for example, is a listing of mine:
Code: | /home/bubba $ ls -R .mplayer/skins/
.mplayer/skins/:
DVDPlayer moonphase productive
.mplayer/skins/DVDPlayer:

As you can see, I have installed three extra skins. Assuming you are running mplayer from X, you probably would launch the program, gmplayer and not mplayer. Gmplayer is the gui for mplayer and you should then be able to right click on the video for options. (or click on the different option buttons in the gui)
I hope this has helped. _________________

"xv" is the vo-driver you want. you can select it in the gui. that should fix the issue of mplayer not scaling to fullscreen.
i think i had to emerge xv first and set the right USE variable for my video-card (incl recompile of a lot of packages) though. take a look at the output of xvinfo.
everybody seems to love mplayer, but its not very userfriendly. why the hell can i not go fullscreen by doubleclicking? loop option would be nice too. i dont know, maybe there are command line-options for it. |

Did you even try
Did you even try
Did you try
And finally, did you try the above with mplayer replaced by gmplayer
EDIT: Hmm.., I might have come off a bit rude there. But those are the commands you will want to use. As for skins, drop the skins as mentioned earlier in the ~/.mplayer directory, then start gmplayer, right click on it and select skin browser. Also, you can go to the preferences and change your default audio/video outputs.

Try throwing a corrupted file or cd/dvd at all the players you got there, and then see which ones can cope with such files. Most players will either immediately quit or bring the entire system down to its knees. There are very few players robust enough.
As for a gui-friendly frontend, maybe kmplayer is more to your liking. |

thanks so much ppurka! the skin works now! but i STILL can't get the scaling fullscreen to work. the option isn't displayed in my preferences of mplayer. it still only has one option for v/o and that is x11, even tho i changed the gui.conf file to say vo_driver = "vx"
i also emerged vx (which i didn't do before) but it STILL doesn't work... what am i doing wrong? |

its xv, NOT vx.
your problem is, that in fullscreen the size of the video is the same and the rest of the screen is filled black?
https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-525741.html ,does this help?
be sure 'xv' USE flag is set in make.conf, be sure you specified the right video card driver in make.conf and xorg.conf
be sure xv is installed. type xvinfo to see if its working.
emerge -NDav world to make the changes take effect. |

Please post your "emerge --info" output, as well as the output of "emerge -pv mplayer". _________________

how do i copy and paste output from the shell? Ctrl-C doesn't work...
i did type xv in the make.conf file... i just typed it here wrong. yes, my problem is that when i do fullscreen, it's all black with the same size video still in the middle.
xv --info worked, but xvinfo doesn't...
how do i copy and paste output from the shell? i don't know how. that seems like it's pretty important info to know if i'm going to be able to get any help out of the forums |

right click > copy
or output to a textfile, e.g. 'emerge --info >> /home/user/Desktop/textfile' |

i use xterm shell. there is no rightclick menu. (that's why i asked in the first place)
highlight and middle-clicking in the text field worked.

First off, read through http://gentoo-wiki.com/Safe_Cflags
Next, your "emerge -pv mplayer" output shows that you have not rebuilt mplayer since you changed your USE flags. You will need to do so before the changes you have made will take effect.
The '*' means that that particular USE flag has been changed since you last emerged the package. (Just FYI) _________________
