I have the following mplayer merged on my system:
mplayer --version MPlayer 0.92-3.2.3 (C) 2000-2003 MPlayer Team CPU: Advanced Micro Devices (Family: 6, Stepping: 0) Detected cache-line size is 64 bytes CPUflags: MMX: 1 MMX2: 1 3DNow: 1 3DNow2: 1 SSE: 1 SSE2: 0 Compiled for x86 CPU with extensions: MMX MMX2 3DNow 3DNowEx SSE
It's got some "issues" doing fullscreen. If I simply do a "mplayer somefile.mpg" the video will play fine in a small window. If I hit "f" (to switch to fullscreen), the video will completely disappear. However, other than not being displayed, it seems that mplayer "thinks" the video is still running (as the status info in the terminal will be updating). Plus, I can hit "f" again, and return the video to the visible windowed state.
On the other hand, if I start mplayer using "mplayer -fs somefile.mpg", then the video will again start in a small window. But this window is actually like a "portal" that only lets me see a smaller part of the whole video (i.e. it seems to be fullscreened, but I can only see a small square of that). If I hit "f", the video will completely disappear, but mplayer is still running (as described above). If I press "f" a third time, the video will now be shown correctly in fullscreen mode.
I tried recompiling mplayer with more conservative CFLAGS (O2 instead of O3), but that didn't help.
Has anyone ever seen anything like this? Any ideas on what might be wrong?
Which vo option are you using? From my experience, I was never able to get it to do fullscreen, or any scaling for that matter, when using the default 'x11' driver. I always use the 'xv' driver and have no problems.
