Movie Mode
« on: September 09, 2011, »
Is there a way to force Movie Mode to always zoom full screen? Some videos I use are 1080x720 and some are 640x480. During sheduler testing, The ones that are 640x480 are tiny. Is there a command I can add to the script to force zoom to full screen no matter what size the video?

 
Thanks

If you are using Movie Mode, I would recommend running xLights on Windows 7. This is what I did last year and had full screen video  all of the time.

All files that xlights uses needs to be in the same folder. Sequences, Music, Videos

All sequences and media - audio and/or video - files go in the directory you specify on the main screen.

I'm not sure I understand your question. As long as all files are in the directory specified on the main screen, it should run.

Well my show computer is running xp. That could be part of the problem.
