Hi, my video player mpv suddenly started maximizing the window when I start the program. I cannot find a related setting in /etc/mpv/mpv.conf, nor a window rule for kde/kwin :( System is up-to-date Tumbleweed (mpv-0.26.0-13.2, updated monday) Any suggestions what to look for are highly welcome... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Indeed, that's where I put my personal changes. But I didn't change that file since May, and it doesn't contain settings regarding this. And it's not going fullscreen either - it is a maximized window (i.e., with decorations), and snaps back to nominal size when I click the diamond symbol. Which is why I suspected it might be the window manager playing tricks on me. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

If I run an older version of mpv (from Leap 42.2) either remotely (ssh -X) or by copying the binary over it opens at nominal size --> https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1058551 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Closed again, it's a consequence of HiDPI handling that automatically upscales any video by a factor of two (stupid default IMHO...). Fix it by adding to ~/.config/mpv/config: no-hidpi-window-scale -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
