Auto-Centering Video

Postby hackman2007 » 21 Jan 2008 08:54

Hey everyone, I have a feature request that I would like to recommend for VLC.

I like to watch movies using the Desktop Wallpaper feature, so I can browse the internet while watching the movie. However, when I use the Always on Top feature it doesn't auto-center the movie and it's kind of annoying to have to constantly movie it without it centering.

If this feature already exists and I'm blind, I apologize, and if so can someone direct me to where this feature is?

VLC version: OVER 9000!!!
Operating System: It's...blue screen
Location: Heaven? No no. What's that other place that starts with an "H"? Oh yes: Home. ^_^

Ok cool, glad I didn't suggest a feature that was already in VLC.

Thanks for the response.

I would also like the auto centering feature to auto center a video according to the video size, in relation to the screen size.

Hello, everybody,

could anyone please explain to me how to make VLC open in the center of the screen. I have read several topics, tried several methods, but absolutely with no desirable result. I am using 2.0.7 version on Windows 64. I would much appreciate your help.

Thank you.

Please make auto screen centering when starting playback.

If you do it, also set auto screen centering while changing zoom during the playback (no other players have this option !! and it is annoying to see playback window jumping across the screen depending on zoom rate and zooming origin coordinate, usually left-top).

:shock: :shock: :shock: Are you kidding me? I would rather disable vlc then watching 720p in a small centered box or old vcd video inside a big centered window, depending to what size I resize viewing window after setting those 2 options.

Anyhow, is it so hard to make simple centering after all those gazillion decoding operations?!

I am using: VLC, KMPlayer and PotPlayer. And all of them are have the same 'big' issue with screen centering feature request (KMPlayer is actually having screen centering after loading but it is not working correctly while changing zoom during playback). I will try to find some 3rd party software to center windows, if there is any.
