[lucky_chouhan]

Hi guys using FC10 and i have a confugsion regarding my screen (W LCD 19") resolution & VLC movie player.

When i set the resolution 1024 x 768, the screen resolution and icon are too large but vlc able to lay movie smoothly.

What is the issue.

Is there any other movie player (able to lay .AVI, .MP4) which i can try in FC10

Hi lucky_chouhan,

You may be using kde!!

Ensure you have the latest packages and dependices are installed, from a terminal window as root, try running the following commands:

# whereis mplayer

(The output should give you the location were the application is based)

# yum update mplayer

or

You can use the GUI (graphical user interface) utility, to update software packages.

You should be able to update or install the dependices for Mplayer.


I hope this is of help.

I had exactly same problem and I had to change a setting in Prefrences of VLC Player. I don't have access to my Linux box right now. I will let you know pretty soon.
