Bug#399292: mplayer: MPlayer rc1 can't be properly scaled by WM on start
Hi, Eckhart; Good question. I believe this used to be the case in the past (but I might still be mistaken). Right now, it is not the case. My current with Kwin 4.5.1 shows the mplayer window at movie size immediately. I even ran kwin and mplayer with very high niceness under heavy CPU load to slow them down as much as possible. I could not see at any time that the mplayer window painted full screen. It is movie-sized immediately. Also, I notice that the left window border is not painted on this window [it is see-through] Don't know if this is related to the sizing. Cheers, Alexander.

I can still resize the window manually afterward. Does the window snaps back mean that it first maximizes (as it's supposed to do) and only then switches to video size?

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. Oh, I must have missed that. 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. This indicates an interaction issue. I cannot test this myself as my window manager (metacity) doesn't support this. Is there a simpler testcase other than running kwin to test this functionality? If not, I fear some kwin expert needs to have a look at the mplayer source code and write a patch. Please note that I've co-assigned it to the kwin package, that has been removed from stable. I reckon that kwin has been merged to some other package, please reassign as appropriate if you know what package that is. A long long time ago, this used to work properly. Hm, interesting. -- Gruesse/greetings, Reinhard Tartler, KeyID 945348A4 ___ pkg-multimedia-maintainers mailing list pkg-multimedia-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-multimedia-maintainers

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.

P.S. no, I don't want to use fullscreen instead. I like having a taskbar visible, and the ability to resize the window at need. It's not nearly as convenient. Does adding -zoom help here? From the manpage: -zoom Allow software scaling, where available. This will allow scaling with output drivers (like x11, fbdev) that do not sup- port hardware scaling where MPlayer disables scaling by default for performance reasons. That should fix it for all drivers but xv. If this problem is only with xv, then this needs to be fixed in the radeon drivers. -- Gruesse/greetings, Reinhard Tartler, KeyID 945348A4 ___ pkg-multimedia-maintainers mailing list pkg-multimedia-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-multimedia-maintainers
