Using -no-embedded-video while specifying max window dimensions breaks autoscale

    • Closed Issue created by cmw @cmw

    Exampe commandline:

    "C:\Program Files (x86)\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NqAB8zHX8Cw --no-embedded-video --video-x=200 --video-y=200 --qt-start-minimized --no-qt-updates-notif --no-osd --height=210 --no-qt-fs-controller --play-and-exit

    Creates a borderless window as expected at the specified coordinates, however, the height parameter (and also a width parameter if supplied) gets ignored, instead the video displays at it's full resolution.

    Adding --no-autoscale

    "C:\Program Files (x86)\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NqAB8zHX8Cw --no-embedded-video --video-x=200 --video-y=200 --qt-start-minimized --no-qt-updates-notif --no-osd --height=210 --no-autoscale --no-qt-fs-controller --play-and-exit

    This results in the window dimensions being correct as specified by height/width parameters, however the video does not "fit" the pane, instead the video gets cropped into the new dimension.

    Only by manually setting Video - Always Fit Window (or keyboard shortcut o)will the video be scaled correcty inside a correctly dimensioned video pane.

    Only tested on Windows 7.
