Full screen video player?

[Jasper]

I have tried different video media players which I have had some limited success ...... my main issue was that I could not playback the media 'fullscreen'.

In the end I ended up using VLC.

This does not 'run as root' natively but using @rockedge tip it does

Install VLC in terminal

vpm i vlc

then enter

sed -i 's/geteuid/getppid/' /usr/bin/vlc

You should be good to go

mpv works, but no 'skin'. Can't play multiple clips. So i installed smplayer... worked fine before shutdown... then epic mpv fail. I had to reload voidpup... borked lib files.

FullScreen Video Play

FFPLAY from FFMPEG

Code: Select all

ffplay -fs foo.mp4

or

MPV aka mplayer

Code: Select all

mpv --fs foo.mp4

or

VLC

Code: Select all

vlc -f  foo.mp4

mpv will resize fullscreen when playing, and works fine alone... just click on a media file. Nearly invisible.

By default VoidPup64 does not include FFPlay, nor MPV.

Your contribution is therefore worthless.

Please, refrain from contributions unless you are using this OS.

Just who the hell are you to say another's contributions are worthless? You obnoxious ass! YOU are the one that has
cost multiple moderators and admins considerable time and effort cleaning up your empty posts!

Why can't you download or compile it yourself?

mpv is d/l by void package manager (vpm) thats included.
IF your computer is new enough, all you need do is open a terminal

vpm install mpv-0.38.0_3

NOTES: this is the latest showing up in my repo-list found in root
I am using an intel N97 cube-puter that was offered for sale about 9 months ago... the k6.6.53 works with this simple method.
HOWEVER, putting on a skin such as smplayer is a bunch of bloat... just click on a media file to play! ninja-like.

Jasper the troll strikes again, don't forget to include dependencies needed... yah extra work b/4 post LOL.

Thats true, many of your posts vanish.

a did a bit research ..... hahahaha mpv does not come with vaapi enabled ............... mpv --list-options

and voidpup does not have Qt4/5/6, but it has gtk2/3/4
NOT BOTH
