[Solved] Higher resolution video windows go out of desktop in Openbox

Hi! My monitor supports resolution upto 1366x768. But as you can see in the screenshot, videos and images that have greater resolution than that go out of the desktop in Openbox. I tried setting scaling mode with xrandr (I tried "Full", "Full aspect", and "Center") but it didn't help. I'm sorry I do not know a technical way to describe it but it looks just as the screenshot.

Firstly, you shouldn't post full size images. That's against the forum rules and you're likely going to get that pic snipped with a kind note from a moderator if you haven't already by the time I post this.

Secondly, I fixed this issue with vlc by unchecking the box under preferences>interface resize window to video size.

I apologize for posting the full size image.

Thanks for suggesting the workaround for VLC.
