I couldn't figure it out with mplayer but I created a workaround using VLC.
I post it here in case anyone else is comfortable switching from mplayer to VLC for this screensaver:
Replace the first call to mplayer in the script with:
cvlc --loop --fullscreen --crop=16:10 --no-video-title-show --no-audio --drawable-xid "$XSCREENSAVER_WINDOW" "$movies/$useit" &
and the second with:
cvlc --loop --fullscreen --crop=16:10 --no-video-title-show --no-audio --drawable-xid "$XSCREENSAVER_WINDOW" "$APPLEURL/$useit" &
If you can figure out a mod to the mplayer call, please let me know. I didn't see anything obvious in the man page.
I have a 16:10 monitor and the videos are 16:9 so there are black bars on the top and bottom of the screen. Is there a way to edit the config files so that videos play at a "best-fit" zoom level? Thank you for this script it's awesome!
