Hi, Sorry, there is a misunderstanding regarding what is working. Scaling works fine as long as it is done after the movie starts.
If I start mplayer, and then click the 'maximise' button on the window, it maximises just fine. However, if I configure my window manager (kwin) to automatically maximise mplayer windows on start, they are not maximised, but instead snap back to the default size when the movie starts. A long long time ago, this used to work properly. Cheers! On 5 August 2010 10:10, Reinhard Tartler <siret...@tauware.de> wrote: > Hi Arren, > > I'm in the process of cleaning up old bugreports.
