Title: Mplayer plays movie in a small screen on SL-6000L
Post by: stevevw on August 23, 2004, 05:06:53 pm

I installed MPlayer .90pre10 with ogg vorbis support.

No matter what settings I try to make the screen bigger it always plays in the upper left hand corner of my Z.  I have thought of trying to recompile mplayer  with tremor support (for ogg vorbis) but not sure where to look to have it not stick in the upper left hand corner all the time.

Any ideas where to start looking or forums to browse?

Thanks

have you tried the -fs switch?

I recently compiled mplayer 1.0pre5 with ogm support . if you are interested you can try that.

Its at the web page below.

Sorry, the transfer must have been cut off.  I am running into the 10 mb limit on the site.  I uploaded it again.  It should work this time.

cmisip,

I have tried your .ipk and I compiled one of my own and they both have the same output as the 0.93pre10 version.  It plays in a small window in the upper left hand corner.

If i use the -fs switch then it plays in a small window in the middle of the screen.

I guess I dig a bit deeper.  Thanks for your informative web site and I am confident I'll get this worked out.  I am curious if others that have the C series with the 640x480 screen has this problem as well.
