VLC Player - Fix Window Size

trentlad · 17 Aug 2010 at 02:54

In case anyone else hates the way VLC Player auto re-sizes the window, there is a setting buried deep that allows you to keep it one size.

Untick the 'Resize interface to the native video size' option in:
Tools -> Preferences (Show settings: All) -> Interface -> Main interfaces -> Qt

It's even easier than that in the new versions (1.0.0+)!

Tools Menu -> Preferences -> Interface (Make sure you're still in Simple mode rather than All) and uncheck 'Resize interface to video size'

Update to newest version, un-check resize, un-check YUV>RGB, enable GPU acceleration. Profit?

You're welcome lads. I figured there'd be a few who'd appreciate this.

One of the lovely things with having a wide screen is the excess space to the side of your windows. So I like to play vids while I browse and this tweak keeps them running in a playlist without having to adjust. Now if I could set the default resolution it would be golden.

Just tried these, let's see if I notice any difference.
