It's playing at the original resolution, which goes partly off-screen in your case. Can't it just play the 1440x1080 source in a 1440x810 window, using the hardware overlay? If that's not possible, wouldn't it be more efficient to down-scale vertically to 1440x810? -f 'fullscreen' will give you the intended 1440x810 being 16:9, what the original aspect-ratio was. > > Tobia > _______________________________________________ > MPlayer-users mailing list > MPlayer-users at mplayerhq.hu > https://lists.mplayerhq.hu/mailman/listinfo/mplayer-users
