Hi all,
I am replacing my old Gentoo based Nettop with OSMC. This is great but I am looking for a certain feature with I had used with my smplayer on the previous system:
Some of my videos are poor recorded, the video frame is much smaller that the screen. In this case there was a mplayer zoom feature using the “e” and “w” keys. Note: I do not mean the overscan feature because everything else, including the UI, fits perfectly.
Is there a similar function in the osmc video player? This would be great. But I did not find it so far.
Best regards
Erdie
Thanks, but there is nothing which can do that. “z” for “zoom/aspect ratio” just creates a dialog which contains one button (DVD standard). Pressing that doesn´t change anything.
So pressing z repeatedly while the dialog is open doesn’t cycle through several options ? Pressing z then waiting for the dialog to go away will not change anything, it will only display the current display mode.
Does z work properly if you switch to the Confluence Skin ? When you press z repeatedly the dialog should stay open and cycle between about 5 different screen size options.
Not sure then sorry. For me, Z cycles between different presets such as “Normal” “Full Screen” “Widescreen” and so on, (not the exact names) and I have not heard of the Zoom function not working before.
Hmm, this is strange. I just downloaded the image and flashed it on a sd card. The hardware is identical. How can this be different? The only customizing I did was connecting to my NFS Server.
I found the reason. Please don´t hurt me It was really simple. The keyboard layout switch from english to german did not work, it is still english even I selected german. The result is that the expected feature works when pressing the “y” key instead of “z”.
Thanks for your help!
