Well, my suggestion would be to just change the size of MPlayer's window (I believe most windowing systems allow you to manipulate windows of a different program) if that's what you want to happen. Assuming you don't want to go for embedding via the - wid option. If you need to use -zoom that's not an ideal setup for MPlayer because it means you are using a really outdated method to display the video. It almost certainly lacks a few other nice features like nicely blended subtitles etc. Assuming it does not exist, a slave command to change the windows size is not unreasonable either, but it should be a video output command, not a video filter command. Same way as you should use -geometry if you want the window to start up at a certain size, not -vf scale. >> If you want the window a different size you can just make the window >a different size > >I can't as the process sending commands into the slave MPlayer. So far >as I know, only the user of my program can change the window size. See my answer above: it's at least worth checking if you really can't. But I will admit that even if you can, it might not be very convenient to do that way. >> Similar for expand. > >As above: I doubt I know what you mean by "expand". Someone mentioned -vf expand. The only use-case for that I could think of should be possible to replace simply by panscan, for which I'm quite sure there are slave commands. _______________________________________________ MPlayer-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mplayerhq.hu/mailman/listinfo/mplayer-users
