Disabling auto resize ?

[tarthrin]

Is there a way to disable the auto resize? I know how to just fix the size of the window, but that's not quite the same.

[VLC_help]

So you want blank space around the video?

How do you disable auto resize?

[tarthrin]

I just want the window to stay the same size when i drag it to the size i want. Blank space around the video is fine.

I just want the window to stay the same size when i drag it to the size i want.

AFAIK that isn't possible. You have to manually set the size from VLC settings. (and you might have to separate controls from video window)

I was searching for the same thing.

I don't want to let VLC autoresize everytime a new file is opened.

I want to keep the actual size of the window.

[VLC_help]

Actual size?

Actual size?

Sorry.. the last used window size of VLC independent of the different video movie resolution.

try e.g : vlc --width=400 --height=300 --qt-display-mode=1 ....
vlc won't resize if those parameters are given (command line or preferences)

And I agree it would be great if _no_ autoresize was made easier to select as default behavior !

Will this not always open VLC with the same size?

I would like to open VLC always with the last size.

It would be nice also to have a shortcut to adapt window size to video size again.

You're right, .... that's not exactly what you were asking for.
I'm afraid there is no other alternative. And I totally agree with what you proposed.

I'm using 0.9.8a..

Where is it that I input these settings...
In the TOOLS>PREFERENCES>????
then which page in the advanced view, would it be located on?

I searched high & low and cannot see where these would input

With all the high-def videos that are 1280xXXX or bigger it just opens wider than the monitor screen and I have to re-adjust the player screen size in each and every case and this is getting so old....!

thanks

This is easier to do in 1.0.0, sorry.
