mplayer full screen problem

I am extremely dumb when it comes to video stuff.
Recently i did a fresh installation of mplayer through yum following instructions from http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=53335

Everything worked fine but however the video cannot be played in full screen.... it has a fixed size..
Do u guys know how to configure it to play videos in full size??
(just like when u press ALT-Enter in windows media player)

Your issue could be related to the video output driver MPlayer is using. It should be as default xv, but if it's not try forcing it running the program with this option
Code:
mplayer -vo xv yourfilehere
If it works, put this line
Code:
vo=xv
in the ~/.mplayer/config file

Last time I saw that problem, I was using some other -vo device. I'm too lazy to check right now, but look at the video out device settings. Change to something else... usually "xv" if I recall.

yeah i press f and i got a fullscreen with big black borders and a small video screen in the middle, which is not i wanted..
what i trying to mean is that stretching the video size to full screen without any borders... can u wizards make that happen??

if u get that it's because you're using the right video output driver. as suggested above try starting mplayer with
Code:
mplayer -vo xv -fs file.avi
and if that works modify your /etc/mplayer/mplayer.conf file and remove that xvidix at the beginning

Use the mplayer '-zoom' option.

Interesting. What video device driver is being used? I have not used anything but radeon, nv, fglrx and nvidia drivers for the longest time. I wouldn't be surprised to find that you're using something like a VESA driver for the X display. But let's start there to learn more about what we're dealing with.

I've got proper Nvidia drivers installed (tested to work). I'm convinced the problem is with mplayer itself.

Command line results:

Code:
[root@syncro syncro]# xvinfo
Xlib:  extension "XVideo" missing on display ":0.0".
xvinfo: No X-Video Extension on :0.0
And then...

Code:

Yes very much. Do you see where it cannot open with xv? My guess is the problem may be coming from a failure to run with 64 bit mode? I don't use the AMD Athlon XP 3000+ though so I don't even know if it's 64bit or not... just a guess. I have heard so many problems in getting "64bit stuff" working that I have avoided getting any such machine until the world is ready for it.

I wonder if there's a way you can make it change the processor modes or something like that? Perhaps there's an override on the command-line?

The XP300 is a 32-bit architecture processor.

I've done a bit of research and it seems to have something to to with the output driver on mplayer. I can bypass the problem by using the -zoom option, but that's just half-ass-ing it.

Hello:
Are you sure your nvidia drivers are installed and working correctly?
If so, I am not sure why you would receive the error above?
This is my setup and mplayer works fine at any screen size.

I assume my nvidia drivers are working correctly because
1) nvidia module is loading up fine
2) glxgears run smoothly after i installed them

How would I check to make sure?
