--width= and --height= don't work in version 3.0.17 and has a bug in 4.0.0 Beta

[Belini]

When I run VLC and try to determine the size and position of the video window only the position commands work but window size doesn't work, does anyone know how to solve this?

Example of commands using a .bat file

Code: Select all

vlc.exe --width=1024 --height=768 --video-x=100 --video-y=100 Test.mp4

Note: In version 3.0.8 these commands work perfectly but in the newest version they don't work

You should create a new ticket on the VLC Trac with your above report and the link to this thread:

@Lotesdelere I couldn't post there but my problem was partially solved in version 4.0.0 Beta but in this version there is still an error

Error Description: --video-x and --video-y only work correctly if I put a value greater than zero if I put --video-x=0 --video-y=0 doesn't work correctly

@Lotesdelere I managed to create the ticket in VLC Trac and I posted the link to this topic as you guided

Unfortunately the problem will not be fixed according to Rémi Denis' answer

This is a known issue in the video output core for 3.0 and it won't be fixed

Your bug report does not say the same thing as this post. Don't confuse x/y and width/height

[Belini]

sorry for the confusion, In version 3.0.17 the window does not resize using --width and --height and in version 3.0.17 the window doesn't resize using --width and --height and in version 4.0.0 Beta --video-x=0 and --video-y=0 don't work.

If you guys can't solve the position issue in version 4.0.0 Beta then I'll use --video-x=1 --video-y=1 which works with 1 pixel away.

I managed to solve it using --fullscreen on the two monitors that will show the videos, but anyway video-x=0 and --video-y=0 don't work in version 4.0.0 Beta and it would be nice if you could fix it.
