Yet, if the the differences of the image size and the screen size is too big (e. g. if I try to watch a low definition video stream on a 1080p screen), libVLC limits scaling to a certain limit. Adding auto-scaling support directly at Kaffeine could be done, but that could be complex and not fail proof. So, IMHO, the best is to keep letting this task to libVLC. Anyway, as we now have a solution for it, I'll close this BZ. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=369081 --- Comment #7 from Mauro Carvalho Chehab --- Could you try again against Kaffeine -git? There were some bad performance issues related to EPG handled that got fixed a few versions ago, and we just fixed some CPU performance issues while sending data to libVLC. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

Sorry, this comment was meant for another BZ. Anyway, there were some fixes related to scaling at Kaffeine 2.0.10. Please test. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

Please > test. Hey Mauro, i can manually zoom in while watching movies via dvb-c. This is much better now, but autozoom would be (of course) a much cooler feature ;) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

Additionally the "double size" menu entry seems to be buggy or doesn't have any function at all for me. Maybe I'm just missing some kind of _overscan_ function in kaffeine. Btw, many libvlc arguments do not work or seem to be overwritten by kaffeine(?). I tried a lot of parameters with zero effect :/ -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

I tried a lot of parameters with zero effect :/ Maybe a broken video driver, then. On a few boards, VLC is not able to rezise the image. I had this problem in the past using older Kernels. Perhaps a Kernel upgrade (and get rid of non-free video drivers) would solve it. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

It > works in (s)mplayer, it doesn't in kaffeine with vlc backend. Kaffeine uses libVlc for video stream display. VLC selects a default output plugin based on its internal logic, seeking for the fastest one. Sometimes, the selected one doesn't allow video scaling. There's an option on newer versions of Kaffeine that allows passing arguments to libVlc, forcing it to select a different plugin. You can change it via those menu options: "Settings" --> "Configure Kaffeine" --> "libVLC". Any VLC command line option is accepted there. You could try those: --no-video-title-show -V xcb_glx or: --no-video-title-show -V xcb_xv and re-start Kaffeine. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
