windows media player

hello to all the users.can someone help me with my xda executive.it does not play the movie in full screen mode.if i do click on the full screen mode picture area remains small and the screen around is black.

Hi Amit2arora,
have you checked the screen size of the video itself? Chances are that if it's already been letterboxed (meaning black bars on the top and bottom), then the bars will remain visible when you switch to full screen mode.

hi
unless the files is ATLEAST vga sized like 640x480 it will come as you have described... i think someone found a solution for the non 640x480 sized videos to work full screen on our vga devices...
if anyone remembers the link please post it here...
personally ive resized all my vids and now use exclusively tcmp player

[Q] screen rotation

i have noticed that the screen can be rotated to left and right landscape on the Zee with cyanogen 7 but when you use games or video, they only seem to rotate to the left only. is there any way they can be forced to rotate to the right instead?

Videos can rotate either way but it would seem games are written to only rotate a certain way when active..as far as autoposition in landscape. Could be wrong but makes sense to me
dont send me pm's crying about how i hurt your feelings in a thread

cheers spas. does the rotation of video include flash based from websites though is what i wonder. will have to take a look

Fullscreen Video Player

Hello everyone,
I'm trying to watch a 4:3 mkv, but I can't find a player that hides the system bar (the black bar at the bottom of the screen).
Because 4:3 is limited by vertical space rather than horizontal space, this is more than a distraction. The bar takes up a sizable portion of the screen.
So far I've tried MX Player, Mobo Player, and Dice Player. I looked through their settings and didn't find a way to do this. Videos played through the native player are allowed to use the entire screen, but I've never converted a file with subtitles before. My first three Handbrake attempts have ended in failure, so now I'm experimenting with the subtitle settings and retrying.
MX Player has announced that this functionality will be added in the next update (source), but for the time being I would like to find a player that does this.

BSPlayer will hide the top notification bar and the bottom soft buttons, but it's not always 100%. You'll sometimes have to re-pause and play to make sure it disappears if you're fiddling with brightness/volume.

BSPlayer does appear to get rid of the bar, but strangely the video is the same size as before.
Instead of filling the freed up space, the player seems to be splitting the height of the bar between the top and bottom margins and letterboxing the video, leaving the same amount of dead screen.
I've tried restarting the program and toggling the interface, but this is happening every time the bar disappears.
I've taken two screenshots. One without the bar and one with. See what I mean?

Maybe you need to change the brightness setting to manual and not auto.

Brightness setting is set to manual

MXplayer swipe brightness control was working before I rooted. Now its not. I'm having some other issues with browser2ram so I am going to disable that and see if its the culprit. Installed another brightness swipe control from market and it works fine. BSplayer also fails to swipe control brightness after root. Anyone got to the bottom of this yet?
UPDATE:
I found out that two apps I run were causing the problem. Backlight Switch and Display Brightness. The latter was the one I just installed from the market from the post above. When either of these were loaded at boot then neither MX or BS Player's swipe brightness works. If I disable them as startups (need root) then swipe brightness control works again for both apps.

I thought I found something like that in the settings, but now I can't find it. Maybe that was BS player. One of the two had an option to change the default swipe side for volume and brightness. Does swiping up on the right side control the brighness? If so, maybe they are switched in the settings.

All-
I was having so many problems with both MX and BS players over wifi, and in my exhausting search and troubleshooting, I came across a BETTER PLAYER hands down. Check out Dice Player. Works for me in all cases and I can have other brightness control apps loaded and its swipe brightness control is unaffected. Great app. I don't use the other two any more.

Clear data of the application in app manager hope it work

Problem solved for me
Hi!
I had the same issue: no videoplayer was able to adjust brightness by swiping on the screen. All this went away after I unnistalled an app called "floatifications".
Hope this helps you, too!

I have the same problem on my Note 2. I don't have any kind of app like floatification in this topic. Any solution?

Try locking the input using the lock button given by MX player (not the physical one on the phone).
I've also been having this issue recently where the brightness isn't affected unless I lock the input. Unlocking will reduce brightness again.

Try uninstalling any ram booster application.
I had the same problem wit my mx player too and started removing apps to check any compatibility probslem and foumd out that if i install any sort of ram boosting software the brighness control stops working....

Unfortunately , I have same problem with my Nokia Xl phone , in the past it was responding very well to adjust brightness level, but now it is'nt responding like it was in the past!! .
I think that maybe a problem in the room itself, and maybe it is caused by do root wrongly .

Netflix 4:3 Letterbox - No Full Screen???

Does anybody using Netflix have the enlarge/full screen button on the bottom right side of their Nexus 7 while watching videos in Netflix? Every tablet I have had, which means nearly every popular tablet made, has had the ability to expand 4:3 videos to full screen ( a necessity on smaller 7" - 8" screens if you ask me) via a small button (four opposed arrows pointing diagonally) located next to the total video time on the lower right portion of the screen.
For some reason, it is missing on the Nexus 7 for me in both stock or PA roms. I have tried changing the DPI & the resolution, but no matter what I do, the enlarge/full screen soft button just won't appear while watching Netflix.
Anybody have a fix for this? Anybody have that button showing? Try playing a 4:3 video like Star Trek DS9 on your N7 & let me know if you have an expand screen button in your Netflix app.
