yea i did all that. i had already installed the ffshow stuff. i do get video and sound, and its fine. but the problem is that it doesnt go to full screen

Stop the press!

Youre using Windows Media Player arent you ? Duhhhhh

Well I uninstalled that biotch, but let me have a moment of Zen here . . . . . ahhmmmmmm aahhhmmmmm


Go to Tools, Options, and look for a settings tab, where you can put a checkmark in to Enable Fullscreen. Its there.

Its so easy if you know about it, maybe one of our most friendly and helpful members will be glad to assist you in finding it too.

Anyhoo, thats your answer friend,

gnite

yea i think ur right, because i thought it was just this one video that wasnt playin in full screen....its all of my videos. this is weird cuz it has never happened before. i cant find the setting option to make it full screen. can someone help me out

[Krell]

WHICH media player and O/S do you have wesr?

You DID reboot right?

If I recall, you have to dig a bit for it, read the fine print, but its there. Is WMP your default app for movies? or is it BSPlayer?

i have XP and WMP 8. BS is my default i think, but it wont play this video, thats y im tryin to play it in WMP. i did not reboot, maybe i should try that. ill feel like a huge idiot if thats all i needed to do

EDIT: It is now safe to say that rebooting does NOT fix the problem. i dont feel so dumb now. anyone got suggestions

[Krell]

I REINSTALLED THAT BIOTCH for you !!!

Go to Tools > Options > Performace > Advanced checkmark the "Enable Fullscreen Switch Mode"

Also make sure the ALL of them are checkmarked, and that Video Acceleration is all the way.

you owe me man

.

[wesr]

i did that...thats not it i dont think

[Krell]

Thats what worked for me, now you on your own : )
.

[wesr]

do u think that it might be some sort of conflict with codecs?

[Krell]

Want to see something really funny? uninstall Nimo, then play your movies

With WMP9, I am able to get true full screen by going to View > Full Mode Options > Auto Hide Toolbar.

When you play a file, and move your cursor OFF off the screen where you cant see it, it will auto hide and change to a full screen.

I hope this helps.

ok i dont know what i did, or what happened but it works now.....???

plus i dont wanna get WMP 9 cuz its beta and other stuff. i hear that its bad cuz it has basically "spyware" in it

[Krell]

Like anything else, you have to lock it (WMP9) down and not chatty chat on the internet. I was just looking for a solution for you, as mine worked ok in WMP8, and, when i had the problem before, the checkmark fixed it.

cheers

lmao about the nimo codecs Nimo is great, but can be a night mare,

SInce your scrounging for fixes, try double clicking the video?
That usually makes it go full screen.
