No Full Screen GUI with some files

Postby BRotondi » 04 Apr 2012 14:31

Hello

Since 2.0.0 I have a new problem: With some files the Full Screen GUI is not available. Means: It appears for 1/10 second and then disappears even if I move the mouse...
I can drag and drop file B in the player and everything works fine. Drag and drop file A again (or double click) and the GUI disappears...

Any Idea?

Thanks!
Bruno

Could you share us one file that causes issues?

Here a cut of 5s: nogui.mkv...

But now I see, this is not only with 2.0.x, but also 1.1.4 (not with v1.0.5)...

Thanks for having a look!

I have the same issue WinXP Core2-T5870 4GB RAM, Mobile Intel Series 4 Graphics card.
Any video from low res avi to HD1080p will not work in fullscreen mode on second screen. I may play the first few frames but cpu spikes to 100% screen is either black or frozen on last frame. Can not utilize VLC process must force ably kill process via taskmanger etc. Problem does not exist with VLC 1.x.x

wwbbs: have you tried DirectX video output module?

Thanks for the hint! Changing to DirectX solves this issue.

But then I have some V-Sync trouble again. Is there a way to force V-Sync with DirectX?

You can force V-sync from display adapters control panel. (VLC itself doesn't have any v-sync options)

Thanks again! I will see if this setting (Nvidia > 3D) does the job.
