Ubuntu :: Movie Player Crashes In Full Screen

Oct 17, 2010

I like movie player since it reminds me of the Windows Media Player, which I loved.However, when i put a song on full screen to go to bed for the night, it crashes after a few songs. Not only does it crash, but I have to do a full roboot. Alt F2 doesnt work, and I can't escape it. I'm more or less stuck in a black screen.

Ubuntu Multimedia :: No More Full-screen In Movie Player?

Apr 19, 2011

today in the morning I upgraded several gstreamer related packages (I suspect from the Gstreamer Developers PPA; list and versions see below). Now I just noticed that in the Movie Player (Totem Movie Player 2.30.2 using GStreamer 0.10.32 (prerelease)), when viewing a video in full screen mode, the whole screen is filled with black as expected, but the video itself now remains at its original size in the center of the screen, it is not being resized to the size of the screen. This was not the case two days ago, and I suspect the gstreamer upgrade.

Does anyone have any pointers on this, before I file a bug report? As the Movie Player itself doesn't provide any further options on video scaling (yeah, what a nice GNOME philosophy...), there's not much I can do from within the GUI..

Code:

Upgraded the following packages:
gstreamer0.10-alsa (0.10.32-1~lucid1) to 0.10.32.2-1~lucid7
gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad (0.10.21-1~lucid1) to 0.10.21.2-1~lucid2
gstreamer0.10-plugins-base (0.10.32-1~lucid1) to 0.10.32.2-1~lucid7

Fedora :: Movie Player - No Playback In Full Screen Mode

Aug 14, 2011

I use my netbook for basics, Internet, Mail, Office and music. I have most of my movies in .avi/Divx. when I was using Ubuntu the default movie player would play my vids but when I went full screen the movie would just disappear and would have to shut it down and restart it. Just wondering if I will have the same problems with F14/15.

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Playing DVD Gives A Black Screen In Movie Player And VLC

May 3, 2010

System Specs:
RAM: 1GB
Mother board: P4P800 VM
Video: Internal (plus a tuner card I don't use
OS: Ubuntu 10.04 (with latest updates

Ok so a brief description. The comp initially had an ATI Radeon X1600 card I removed because it was giving more trouble than it was worth. I'll add it later if there is a chance it might make things batter. (NB the computer was painfully slow with the card installed... runs faster without it)

I installed the restricted formats pakage as per the instructions found at: [URL]

So I installed the ubuntu-restricted-extras package and then ran:

sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras

in the terminal.

Now here is what happens. The DVD plays as I can hear it but the screen is black. moving the screen i'll get glimpses of video but not much. This happens in MOvie PLayer and in VLC. However with VLC by moving it around and going full screen I manage to get the video component working as well.

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Latest Flash Plugin Crashes In Full Screen Mode?

Nov 5, 2010

After update of adobe plugin to version 10.1.102.64 (10.1.r102) plugin crashes if I try to switch to full screen. Previous plugin (10.1.53.64) worked perfectly well. Anybody with the same problem? My system is System76 Gazelle, Ubuntu 8.04 with all latest updates, nvidia drivers.

Additional info:

1. Same effect in Google Chrome, which uses its own plugin 10.1.r103

2. Same effect (both in Firefox and Chrome) on Thinkpad T41 with ubuntu 8.04

I downgraded plugin to r53 for now, but it's not a good idea, last update fixed some security issues.

Software :: Slackware 13.37 KDE Crashes When Watching Video Full Screen With Firefox 4

May 9, 2011

I have been trying out the new Slackware 13.37 and I have found that KDE will crash anytime I am watching a full screen video with Firefox 4 and attempt to adjust the audio levels using the keyboard buttons. If I use the mouse to adjust the audio level through the audio mixer gui, it seems to work fine. Both of my laptops ( a Gateway MP6954 and a Dell Inspiron 1520) are exhibiting this same problem. Both have the Adobe Flash Player version 10.2.159.1 installed.

General :: Flash Player With 2 Monitors: Always Full-screen On Primary Monitor

Feb 21, 2010

My setup at home uses a laptop, with a larger external monitor in addition to the built-in LCD panel, which is primary. I can see the larger monitor from the rest of the room and use it as my TV, for playing DVDs and various types of web video. However, it isn't ideal for Flash video. For instance, if I watch a video from Hulu or any other Flash-based site, I can expand it to full-screen mode.

However, no matter which monitor the browser window is on, the full-screen mode is always on the laptop LCD panel, which is both too small and not visible from most of the room. Does anyone know of a way to force the Flash video to play full-screen on the monitor I select instead of the primary? My video chipset is NVidia, using kernel 2.6.31 (Ubuntu).

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Flash Player With Firefox Which Works Fine In Non-full Screen Mode And NVIDIA

Jan 10, 2010

I have downloaded the recommended NVIDIA driver for my Quadro FX 1400 graphics card which has 256 MB RAM. I have my laptop in a docking station and from the docking station is a DVI to HDMI converter then HDMI cable to my TV (the idea is to use it as an internet TV slave! ). When I come to configuring the NVIDIA X Server, it correctly detects both my laptop screen and my TV via the HDMI connection. However, when I come to save the settings for the X server and go to restart it, it cannot save the configuration file. This is most annoying as it does not allow me to use the dualview I need.

The second problem comes when I use something like the BBC iplayer or anything that uses the flash player. I have the latest flash player with Firefox which works fine in non-full screen mode. However, when switching to full screen, the CPU load jumps to 100% and the playback is really jerky. Had this running the beloved windows XP before and could handle full screen no problems. I have seen a few posts here which show workarounds to zoom in on the small screen on Firefox but would prefer to run it in the full screen mode.

OpenSUSE Multimedia :: Obnoxious Bar In Smplayer - Full Screen Isn't Full Screen And There Are Black Edges On Both Sides Of The Screen

Jan 25, 2011

This obnoxious bar has just appeared in Smplayer at the top of the screen. It stays there even when I go full screen. Now full screen isn't full screen and there are black edges on both sides of the screen. I have not be able to figure out how to hide it. I do not need or want this onscreen display. How can I configure Smplayer to make this go away? How can I get my 16:9 full screen aspect ratio back? I have done nothing to mplayer or smplayer as far as editing any or changing any configuration files. I tried several videos and it displays on all of them. It was not there last time I used Smplayer.

General :: Movie Player And Dragon Player Not Working In Kubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx

Sep 20, 2010

I recently installed Kubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx. It is working well, but Movie Player does not work, and Dragon Player plays videos/movies but with no audio. VLC works fine. how to either remove Movie Player and Dragon Player or make them work. I tried apt-get remove mplayer but that doesn't work. If not that, I wonder if the default media player can be changed to VLC, e.g., when you click any video it will start to play using VLC?

Ubuntu :: VMware Player 3.1 - Make It "fit To Full Screen"?

Aug 4, 2010

Does anyone know how to make VMware player fit to full screen even when the resolution is different than the host's? I've got Windows XP installed on it to play some older games at 640x480 (most of which run surprisingly well), but unfortunately when the resolution of Windows is not the same as Ubuntu, I get a tiny Windows in the middle of the screen, with a huge black border around it.

I have not been able to find anything in the VMware menus to "fit to full screen". The closest is something like "automatically resize guest to host", but when I manually change the res on the guest, it still has the borders.

I have also tried just manually changing the Ubuntu resolution to 640x480 before I run VMWare, but unfortunately the VMware window goes out of the viewable screen area (even in full screen). My best solution so far has been to switch Ubuntu to 800x600, lock VMware at 640x480, and then use the "zoom" function on my monitor to make it almost full screen. Of course, this is less than optimal.

(FYI I am running Xubuntu Studio 9.10, with some nvidia binary drivers installed.. I forget which version)

I have tried a couple of solutions, such as the one suggested here:
http://communities.vmware.com/thread/204564
(pref.autoFitFullScreen = "fitHostToGuest")... With not much luck. I even tried uninstalling VMware tools. Still didn't work.

If I need up add a line in some config files, does anybody know specifically which files it needs to be added to?
