2.02 Fullscreen stopped working

[tjac]

I am only seeing the original video size on a black screen, the
video isn't zoomed to fill the whole screen anymore.

Setting the fullscreen monitor manually doesn't help. Output modules
are set to default. Downgrading to 2.01 immediately fixes the problem.

Seen on a late 2010 Macbook Air, running 10.7.4.

Anyone else seeing this?

what happens if you press the o key in fullscreen. It should toggle between "original size" and "Scaled to Screen". This only should last per video so i'm not sure what it's not scaling to begin with. Perhaps a preference files trashing is in order.

Sorry, had to put VLC to its original intent for 95min19secs. And what a great job it did

Thanks for responding.

Just reinstalled 2.0.2 again, and lo, pressing "o" does the trick, with 60-70% idle still, so I suppose
that must be some sort of hardware scaling at work as there should be.

But as you suspected this doesn't survive a restart, then you have to press "o" again.

After doing a find and coming up with ~/Library/Preferences/org.videolan.vlc* for a likely
location of the preferences, I moved these out of the way, and after restarting VLC
vids are scaled to screen width by default again, after going full screen.

Thanks very much!
