Mplayer display issue

edited May 2008 in Technology
Mplayer has had this weird problem lately:
When ever I maximize a video or make it full screen, the window expands, but the video still stays the same size and leaves white space around it.

Pictures:

Mplayer issue - 1
Video plays as I open it.

Mplayer issue - 2
When I "manually" maximize a window.

Mplayer issue - 3
When the video is full screen.

Any advice would be appreciated.

  • Are you maximizing the video window and not the content inside the window?
  • The way to make an mplayer video fullscreen is to push the f key.

    Yes, thats what my problem is. It worked fine till I reinstall ubuntu a few days ago.

    Problem solved, thanks! I had forgotten that I had set my vo to X11 in an attempt to get .rmvb files to play.
