[MPlayer-users] Mplayer will not play in fullscreen mode in OSX

[alex bueno]

ok, well i too am running 10.3 (retail). i compiled mplayer yesterday 
from cvs, but that's not the problem, that is if you had the same 
problem i did.

the bug with sdl in full screen was that it flickered rather badly, 
enough so that it was unwatchable (but it did enter full screen mode). 
someone made a patch for sdl to fix this problem; i saw it on the 
forums for mplayerosx at sf.net. you can get it here: 
http://home.tiscali.cz:8080/mplayer/yuv_patch.diff or just copy this:

you can apply this to the sdl 1.2 release or to the 21 september cvs 
snapshot (http://www.libsdl.org/cvs/SDL-1.2.tar.gz). i tried building 
sdl from cvs yesterday and had trouble; it also seemed that this patch 
had been committed to cvs (or maybe the patch didn't want to apply -- 
can't remember).
after compiling sdl again, you have to recompile mplayer. it should 
then work.

hope this helps.
