Hey all,

I have a question with regards to initial window size. I want the window to open at a relatively small size of 624x398. To achieve this I set the initial width and height to these dimensions as you can see below. I also set them as the minimum dimensions and for the maximum I used 1650x1080 as this is my screen resolution. This can all be seen below:



The problem is that when I play a video the window automatically enlarges to accommodate the video. Is there a way of preventing this behaviour? In other words I want the video to be scaled down to fit into the window, not the window scaled up to fit the video.

I hope that makes sense.

Thanks

Deactivate Video resizing in preferences.

The Video element has an "autoresize" option. Set it to false in the skin editor. Then the window will not resize automatically to fit the video.

Thank you. This does exactly what I want and means that I don't have to change the VLC settings after installation.

Thanks again
