Hi all, i am sorry if you dont think this is relevant to the list... but i thought i could get help here...

I have a java application from which i am tryin to execute mplayer...

Runtime.getRuntime.exec("mplyaer -fs myfile.mpg");

when i do this i get full screen window of mplayer but the actual video is just a small square at the centre whereas if i execute the command directly from command line it works fine!!

I would suggest adding the -vo xv option in the command. The easiest guess being that mplayer is unable to detect the X capabilities in the subshell created by java.

And also man mplayer to check other options you might have to use.
