SMPlayer Support Forum

Hi all,
usually when I click on a video file, smplayer will open and the size of the player
is the size (resolution) of the file - as it should be.

When I play a 1080p file (my desktop is only 1680*1050 so smplayer
maximizes and scales it to fit). So far so good.

When I close smplayer after the 1080p file played, further instances of smplayer
open in maximized mode (as above) and the movies inside is partially zoomed.
The zoom factor and the size are wrong, and neither are the controls
responsive, ctrl-1, shift-E. They do nothing until you hit the "restore",
top right middle button, and even after that the movie is still the wrong size.

Is it a bug in smplayer, or some setting or other?
Thanks for any info.
Dave

I think it's related to this reported bug:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=de ... tid=913573

Is there a way (smplayer.ini ?) to set it so that it never opens in maximized mode
but instead always honors the size of the video ?

I looked in smplayer and see the default_gui section and currently I see this:
size=@Size(1280 829)

How is this supposed to work? It always remembers the last size of the file it played
and opens at this size when you start the player directly (without first clicking on a video)

Surely this is wrong? That's not a default size, that's the last used size.
The problems occur when the last used size was maximized.
