Apparently, with the latest update of some of the GStreamer related packages Totem Movie Player regained its video scaling abilities:
Upgraded the following packages: gir1.0-gstreamer-0.10 (0.10.32.2-1~lucid2) to 0.10.32.3-1~lucid1 gstreamer-tools (0.10.32.2-1~lucid2) to 0.10.32.3-1~lucid1 gstreamer0.10-alsa (0.10.32.2-1~lucid7) to 0.10.32.3-1~lucid1 gstreamer0.10-plugins-base (0.10.32.2-1~lucid7) to 0.10.32.3-1~lucid1 gstreamer0.10-plugins-base-apps (0.10.32.2-1~lucid7) to 0.10.32.3-1~lucid1 gstreamer0.10-tools (0.10.32.2-1~lucid2) to 0.10.32.3-1~lucid1 gstreamer0.10-x (0.10.32.2-1~lucid7) to 0.10.32.3-1~lucid1 libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-0 (0.10.32.2-1~lucid7) to 0.10.32.3-1~lucid1 libgstreamer0.10-0 (0.10.32.2-1~lucid2) to 0.10.32.3-1~lucid1 libgstreamer0.10-dev (0.10.32.2-1~lucid2) to 0.10.32.3-1~lucid1 Now I can finally use Movie Player again to watch my vids in full screen or any other window size, for that matter. What a treat. (I still don't get how I could be apparently the only one to experience this...) ** Changed in: totem (Ubuntu) Status: New => Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/769272 Title: Totem Movie Player not resizing video in fullscreen anymore -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
