I've tried in vain to choose the scaling algorithm to something other than the default, with no success. In 'Options for MPlayer', I've tried sws=4, sws:4, sws 4, -sws=4, ... The message kicked back from MPlayer is: Option vf-add: sms doesn't exist. Error parsing option on the command line: -vf-add
If I run MPlayer directly, it works perfectly...
mplayer vidfile.avi -sws 4 -vf scale=1280
Does SMPlayer not pass the SWS parameter? I would like to set a different 'permanent' default.
