I can play .mp4 movies via MovieWiz fine using VLC. However, when VLC launches, I would like it to launch full-screen directly, instead of having to press 'f' to make it full-screen.
I tried the following in the config (in the field for the location of the VLC executable)
(path)\vlc.exe --fullscreen
(path)\vlc.exe -f
"(path)\vlc.exe" --fullscreen
"(path)\vlc.exe" -f
None of these work.
VLC launches fine if there is no additional option. All of MovieWiz otherwise has worked flawlessly.
I think this may just be a function of incorrect syntax when passing the command. Is there any other way to force fullscreen playback when a movie is launched through VLC via MovieWiz?

GBPVR 1.1.15
MovieWiz 1.12

Thanks!

You should be able to do this via the MovieWiz config on the "External Players" tab.

Set the parms field to: --fullscreen "$Movie"

And VLC should launch in full screen mode.

there is a setting in vlc to automatically start in fullscreen as well, you could try that.

This worked - thanks for your help.

I had tried this already - for whatever reason was not working. Javawiz's suggestion (sbove) did the job. Thanks. Problem solved.

Not sure how accurate this is, I found it by googling:
Quote:PowerDVD
Run PowerDVD and click on the [Image: PdvdConfigButton.png]Configuration button. Go to the Video tab and Enable Hardware Acceleration. Tick 'Run full screen' and untick 'Keep aspect ratio.' Hardware acceleration will reduce the load on your CPU. It will also probably improve the colour by stopping Chroma Upsampling Error, which is a fault in the PowerDVD software decoder

it doesnt work as i want
what it does is open the window then when playing starts it goes full screen
i made a batch file no good
then converted that to an exe file but then it opens full screen but wont play the file i selected


no real biggy just looks nicer if it goes full screen straight away
its a fault with power dvd not your program just thought you might have had a work around for it

thanks for looking
