Set screen size to remain constant between files

Postby jo-mccall » 02 Jan 2014 19:39

Hi there,

I'm not entirely sure that I'm posting in the right section, but here we go:

I have VLC for Windows and recently had to completely uninstall and reinstall the free software due to some problems that I couldn't fix. Since re-installing I cannot seem to fix the screen size so that it remains the same between played files, which has happened automatically on all previous versions on VLC I have had. I seem to remember there being a menu option to keep window size on my old version, but cannot find it now, and when I am watching series episodes, not on full screen, the box size changes itself with every new episode. I would simply like it to stay the same between episodes each time I set window size when play begins. I also know that it will chance between, say, and episode and a movie, but between episodes of a same series and from a same folder I have never had this problem before.

Any help would be much appreciated!

Jo

Yeah I have the same problem, can't it be set by dragging the corners, sides out and then remaining constant at that size throughout the playlist regardless of the size resolution and type of media that it plays throught the playlist

I know you can fix one corner to stay in a fixed poition, I think this top left, but is there a way of fixing the position of the bottom right? If thee is can someone explain it please as this would resolve the problem

thx

If you can get it "sized down" to what you want press the control key and select "X" button.
I do not know "what exactly" this does but afterwards VLC always comes back at the same size it was last exited.
That solved my problem of HD OTA broadcast zooming out the physical screen size.
