[MPlayer-users] Scaling MPlayer Window in Slave Mode

[Kevan Hashemi]

Greetings,

I'm running MPlayer in slave mode, loading videos into it one after another. Sometimes, the videos are 820x616. Sometimes they are 410x308. I don't want the window to change size when going from one video to the next, so I would like to scale the smaller videos by a factor of 2.0.

It looks like the change_rectangle command is the one to use. But I get no response to any of these slave mode commands.

change_rectangle 0 820
change_rectangle 0 100
change_rectangle 2 100

But I do get responses to these commands:

get_property width
get_property height
pause
stop
loadfile infile.mp4

I have the same problem on Windows, Linux, and MacOS, but here is my MacOS installation of MPlayer:

What am I missing here?
