Title: Mplayer Full Screen Configuration
Post by: xcraft on October 21, 2008, 02:45:58 am

I'm using Angstrom Console version to have a long battery life while listening music and watching videos. I noticed that when i try to see a video in full screen mode with mplayer, it doesnt make it full screen, it just places the video to the middle of the screen with a black border. i tried -zoom or -fs but they dont work. I've googled and found out that i should use -vo x11 but while i installed console version it doesnt support x11. My questions are ...
1- Is there any other way to watch the videos full screen?
2- Do i have to change to Angstrom X11?
3- Can i just install x11 libs and use "-vo x11"?
Thank you

-fs. Bus is probably not fast enough to transfer 640x480. For 320x240 it is sufficient, so you have to scale video down and use -vm. It works ony for -vo pxa.

No, you van use -vo sdl, -vo fbdev or -vo pxa.

No. You also need an X server, then run the server, then set properly DISPLAY (and XAUTHORITY; or start X with -ac), wait for X being started. Then you may run mplayer.

At last i did it thanks to you. "mplayer -vo pxa -vm xyz.avi" worked great but the others did not.

Thanks for your time.

If you don't have a preceding dash (-) it is taken as a filename.  
try:

 -vf rotate=1
