Maybe this info helps:jd7654 wrote:Not familiar with the packages and why installing mpv acts as the parent package and also installs mplayer and gnome-mplayer, usually it is the other way around. But I ran into a conflict with chromium and mpv cause script to fail, so that's why I tried just gnome-mplayer package, which installed mplayer but not mpv. But since that didn't work right, I tried smplayer instead, which also installed mplayer but not mpv, but that works correctly with full screen resize. Strange. If mpv installed with firefox then gnome-mplayer worked properly.
gnome-mplayer (from dog repo) has mplayer already included.
Installing mplayer will install the official Debian package and will uninstall gnome-mplayer.
What you say about mpv being a parent package I don't understand, AFAIK it's independent of mplayer or gnome-mplayer
To make full screen work for gnome-mplayer , go in the Preferences > Tab Mplayer and add in the box "Extra options for mplayer":
Code: Select all
-zoom
Code: Select all
sed -i 's/geteuid/getppid/' /usr/bin/vlc
