Video playlist fullscreen problem

Postby Tomo5 » 30 May 2011 06:20

I have set up a playlist combined with audio and video I use for a show.
I need the videos to go into fullscreen as soon as I double click the video file on the playlist... which I have done. It works for the first video file but for any others on the playlist they play in window mode.
Why is this?? How do I change it so they all play in fullscreen mode?

Did you set the fullscreen on from Tools -> Preferences and Video?

Yes most definately.... it seems I have to press 'F' every time I play a video file, except the first video in my playlist to get it fullscreen. I have latest version and tried on two different computers.. same problem!

That happened to me with 1.1.9 when I first installed it on my freshly installed Windows 7 64bit and I couldn't figure it out since I hadn't messed with anything and it had worked just fine with my Windows 7 x86 OS. I decided to gamble with the nightlies though and I got very lucky with the 1.2 I tried that fixed that problem (as well as adding a few small features I didn't realise I wanted/needed but love.)

If you can't fix it, give another build a try and see if that helps. It did for me.
