Okay, after searching the archives for some information on how to get fullscreen working properly, I figured some stuff out.
I saw in the archive that someone decided to use freevo without a window manager, and that seemed like a good idea. So, I hopped to it, and it worked like a champ with the following in my .xinitrc: xv -root -quit <path to image.jpg> exec xterm -bg black -fg white & exec /usr/local/freevo/freevo Now, that got me fixed right up perfectly. The main reason I had to do this was freevo ran fine fullscreen... however, when I went to play a divx movie, it would go "partially" fullscreen. Meaning, fullscreen but it would show part of the titlebar, and that was very annoying. I could not get the titlebar to go away no matter how I called mplayer in the freevo_config.py file. So, that is the background of WHY i had to do this (i use blackbox as a wm) so... I played around with all the mplayer command line options I could think of and it just would not work properly. Either it would put the window halfway over, or whatever it just flat out wasnt right. Thats when I dropped to a console while mplayer was playing and noticed some extra command line options that should havent been there. A: grep -Fir monitoraspect * returned another file that was adding command line options to my mplayer without my knowledge. This file: src/video/plugins/mplayer.py Had some extra stuff on the command line that was screwing me up. So when I removed that, it now works like a champ. I am calling mplayer with the following command line options, and only these: -ac mad -fs -geometry 50%:50% Hope this helps someone else in the future. -- ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email sponsored by: Free pre-built ASP.NET sites including Data Reports, E-commerce, Portals, and Forums are available now.
