The VideoLAN Forums

Hi,

In reference to this topic

I really would like to see a fullscreen video controller, currently for me, thios is the only thing that is letting VLC down for me (personally).

Can a pop-up be added such as this upon each time we move cursor to end of screen, I think a cool option to make the pop-up appear on the bottam or top or even from the sides in fullscreen.

It's planned for VLC but last I heard no one is really working on this right now. Hopefully it'll be ready in time for the final release version of VLC 0.9.0. Hopefully.

hi agian,

cloudstalker - I must say I really enjoy reading your 'QT4 Consolidation' thread I hope all ya highly creative and useful ideas make it into VLC furture versions.

I really have to reply and stress for a fullscreen controller to be implemented by VLC 9 final release. I am running the test version 9 of VLC svn; but when I view some home movies in Widescreen I don't want to have to rely on shortcut keys to manipulate video I rather enjoy doing it via navigation pop-up + mouse click just the same as like in other WMP, media player classic and others.. VLC is remarkable software, I badly want this

J-b or any of the other dev's add this to a todo list, shouldn't this feature have been in there since the start?

AS i first mentioned the controller can have a different visual look to distinguish itself from 'other' media players, a pop -up on the top corner of the screen would be new as I have never seen that before, the standard playbak buttons would pop-up with a seek bar. Also some options to specify a delay in the pop-up and also to turn it off completely - just my idea that is all- sorry 4 long sentence

I did not know this feature was already on MAC why is Windows lackin, if I could code and had knowledge of QT or whatever I would...

.... anything for this to make version 0.9, I have the svn still to 0.9 and find it impressive on the main QT UI and usability

I register this forum only to ask the same thing. I'd like to be able to scan a movie in full-screen mode.
That's the only reason why I still have MPC installed my pc, the feature of pointing the cursor on the bottom of the screen to make appear a controller is a very usefull indeed. Would be great if you implement it to VLC as well.

Thanks; keep up the good job

Well there's an alternate to that for the moment. Go to Preferences -> Interface -> (enable) show interface with mouse, save an restart VLC. Although this is not a real full screen controller it'll do until this feature comes.

i hope this also applies to the embeded activeX control

In SVN builds or what?
I don't get it to work, it is ticked in options, VLC was restarted and I moved my mouse to any edge of screen - it won't work.

what the status for a ture fullscreen controoler

You should have one for 0.9.0.

Show interface with mouse doesn't work for me, any help to enable this would be appreciated.

Have you tried to reset VLC settings?
