No scaling with fullscreen flash playback

wims · 2011-09-14 05:19:04

Greetings,
I have this problem where flash doesnt scale the video when I try to run it in fullscreen. Instead it centers the video on the middle of the screen, keeping the original size, with the rest of the screen becoming black. See the attached image.

I'm running Firefox 6.02, NVIDIA 280.13 and Adobe Flash 11.0.1.129 (Flash 11 RC), all of them are x86_64 versions, running on KDE4. I have tried to disable hardware accelleration in flash (rightclick video->settings->uncheck enable hardware acceleration). I have also tried to disable "Force Full GPU Scaling" in nvidia-settings, along with trying the various GPU scaling methods. None of these tweaks have affected the way the video is displayed. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Well, if you manage to solve it somehow, let us know (there is another thread, on the argument, i can't remember well)

Do you have the same issue using the nouveau driver?

I am also having this problem. I've been "solving" by "popping out" the youtube videos and then maximising them but a better way would be really cool.

Sorry for the super late reply, I totally forgot about this thread. Today I installed the nouveau driver and I'm having the same issue with that one unfortunately

So the problem seems to lie on youtube flash player with linux flashplugin.

Not really a solution,
but for firefox users, FlashVideoReplacer extension works flawlessly in youtube apart from losing ads ( ) and subtitles.
I'm using it with gecko-mediaplayer and mplayer, my notebook battery is still saying "thank you!"

Apparently this bug was fixed in the latest flash plugin, however, i'm still getting the same issues when it comes to scaling in full screen with two monitors of different resolution
