F13: gnome-mplayer does not start in fullscreen

[borispr]

gnome-mplayer --fullscreen file.avi
opens file in the window, manually I can switch it to fullscreen but I need to start in fullscreen from command line

mplayer -f file.avi opens in fullscreen from the beginning but if to play a list it shows desktop between files

Does anybody know how to fix the problem with gnome-mplayer?

Try this as non-root

gconftool-2 --type boolean --set /apps/gnome-mplayer/preferences/fullscreen true

Hello
try adding -zoom -fs to the commandline

mplayer -zoom -fs ~/tv/Bikes_-_2010_Ulster_Grand_Prix_-_Part_1.mp4

this is for mplayer but gnome-mplayer is just a front for mplayer so should work ok
or you could add these lines to your ~/.mplayer/config (unless there's a separate config for gnome-mplayer)

zoom=yes
fs=yes

yep but seems it does not pass -fs parameter to mplayer at the start

Have tried already did not help.
The file is correct mplayer starts in fullscreen without -fs option but via gnome-player all the same

vlc starts in fullscreen but switches to desktop between files
totem starts in fullsreen and do not shows desktop BUT it does not perform required frame rate at VIA C7 mb

no luck

Hello
sorry I don't use gnome-mplayer so can't be any more help, do you really need the gui ?
I think mplayer is the business, it's the only player that will play 720p on my laptop with no problems

Yes but if play a list it switches to desktop between files while gnome-mplayer plays without breaks
