How is the VLC video picture size changed in LL2.8? - m654321 - 09-04-2016
I often plug my dual-boot (win8.1/LL2.8 laptop into the TV to play our i-player programmes saved on the laptop's drive.
However I always do playback of the saved programmes on win8.1, as the VLC media player I'm using gives me an excellent full-screen view with this operating system.
With LL2.8, the situation is different: VLC player behaves less satisfactorily - it wont give me a full-screen view: the picture covers the width of the TV screen but does not fill the whole of the vertical axis of the TV display.
So, how can I fix this for LL, as I'm loathe to go to an LL-only (single boot) laptop if VLC wont provide a decent whole screen display on my TV screen when using LL..?
I'm sure there must be a simple tweak here I'm a bit clueless on where to find it... :-[

Hi,
Lot's of suggestions on this topic, like:
In Tools > Preferences > Video > Output change to "OpenGL GLX video output(XCB), save and restart vlc.
If you use Intel GPU, following setting speeds up decoding.
In Tools > Preferences > Input/Codecs > Hardware-accelerated decoding change to "VA-API video decoder via X11"
