The VideoLAN Forums

Sorry for the newb question, but I am working on a project that involves running a video immediately when the cpu is booted up.

I've gotten the program to work flawlessly, and to have the video come up fullscreen, but my issue is that a user can simply exit out of the fullscreen mode by clicking the screen, and the video goes into native (much smaller) picture size. The video is being booted up on a 42" elo touchscreen.

I was hoping there was a setting someplace that I can eliminate the ability to get out of the video unless the remote keyboard hits escape, or f11, rather than double clicking the video.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, as the VLC player has been awesome and works very well for this situation.

Thanks

You can turn off key and mouse events, but the system will still respond to special combinations such as Alt+Tab, or worse Ctrl+Alt+Del.

Blocking all keystrokes is beyond the scope of VLC.

Thanks Remi,

I did notice that, but my only problem is that there is a DVD title screen for the video which allows the user to select from one of 3 videos through touching the screen. So the mouse events would have to be on in order for them to touch that.

I was hoping that you could switch the exit fullscreen command from a double click to a keyboard press
