Hi all-
I'm trying to watch a movie on the fuze, and while I love letterbox fullscreen on my plasma at home, on my 3" screen i'd like to get as much picutre as possible. I'd like the DivX player or CORE to play fullscreen like WMP does and takes up the whole screen portrait-wise. DivX will switch to portrait when put into fullscreen, but it leaves 1/3 of the screen blank on top and bottom. There doesn't appear to be settings to fix this. CORE gives you much more control over aspect-ratio, pixel size, screen size, zoom, etc etc. It even has an orientation setting, however I can't seem to get it to flip portrait and then go fullscreen. Anyone have any experience as how to accomplish this? I was going to try to find the 'rotate screen' icon on the programs tab (like the tilt used to have) then go back into the movie with CORE, but I don't think the fuze can do that
Anyone with anything helpful would be appreciated
Im not sure what you are asking, but that probably just me (its early). With core, I get full screen, in any orientation i want. Just tap the movie screen and it should go portrait...
divx player has a rotation option for when your in full screen.
could you let me know where that option is on divx player? when i tap the screen it brings up a volume slider (up/down) and a seek slider (left\right)
settings only says fullscreen doesnt appear to have any orientation option
and actually, with core, my movie (700mb) freezes up when i hit fullscreen. so itmay in fact play in landscape and use up the whole screen, but perhaps because the file is so large it seems to just freeze the screen - maybe i should let it sit for a few minutes see if it adjusts itself? audio continues playing, but picture freezes up
its some where in settings i dont remember and dont have divx reinstalled yet from my last flash. you can get out of full screen with a couple taps, i also dont remember off the top of my head. in settings there should be an option for no rotation or rotation left or right. the divx player is very simple, not alot of options. i dont think its also a great performer, its staggery (prolly just my videos). i havent used my fuze as a media device much since i only recently got it so i dont have any other suggestions.

Hi,
since coreplayer refuses to work properly to stream media through orb; it works once after a fresh installation before giving an error, it seems I'm stuck with windows media player. It works great, although I'ts kind of annoying that the picture is centered on the screen with black borders around it. Of course I want to use all that screen real estate. So is there any way to "tell" windows media player to zoom in to cover the entire screen?
Thanks in advance
does the full screen button not work for you then?
Lol..
I'll take that as he didn't notice it... Lol

It does, but even if press it the picture is centered on the screen. I suppose the reason why this happening is that the resolution of the video is lower than that of the screen, which is why i want to zoom in.
Having two issues with this app.
One is a universal problem I've been having with all non-default lock screens I've tried, where sometimes the lock screen goes back to being the default android ICS lock screen (current phone is a fairly old low-end smartphone using 4.0.2, if that helps troubleshooting).
The other problem is with it's Music Player plugin. I can't pause/unpause/skip tracks, song length shows always 00:00, length played doesn't really work, and in the places it's supposed to show what the song is, it's blank (at least, I'm assuming the large blank spot is for the song title/artist). Basically, the plugin doesn't do anything except display a non-responsive interface when pulled out.
If anyone has any experience with these issues, that'd be a great help.
My question is i bought an mhl cable and it seems to work ok, but it doesn't seem to mirror the "hud" in movie apps or youtube. For instance, when you're watching a movie player and you tap the screen the options come up (like the little bar where you move the dot to go to a different place in the movie) but with mhl it won't mirror to the tv. When i go to youtube i have no way of changing the options or anything like that (i use a bluetooth keyboard so I'm on the couch) It will show up on the phone (like normal) but it's just not showing up on the tv. Just the video is but no overlaying options or anything like that.
does anyone know how to get the settings to show up? It's really frustrating!!
actually after many different stock roms, it seems that the htc sensation won't let you see the the hud overlay on the tv. So if you're watching youtube in portrait mode it will automatically show you landscape on the tv. This is ok if you have the phone in your hand, but i want to have it sit next to the tv so i can use a bluetooth keyboard (with mousepad, they are freaking awesome!) so i can have a dedicated media box. But unfortunately unless you have the phone in your hand you can't see half the controls while playing videos.
Hope this info helps someone, or someone can prove me wrong
Hi,
I am using several apps where video's are posted like news videos. For instance NOS is a populair newsfeed app with videos in it. When viewing those videos they are played normal with the Samsung s6 Edge portraid stand. This is only a small part of the screen while the videos can be played on a pc for instalnce full screen.
So i turn the phone landscape and assume the the video will go landscape and full screen to but that isn;t the case it has never done that. The video keeps playing a small part of the screen.
The setting in Android is to turn the screen when the phone is turned so when holding the phone landscape the screen is also landscape. When i choose the camera and set it oin video that videoscreen is landscape so that is working good, but not within apps.
Does anyone now how to solve this..?

Videos that play in apps will only play the way the app wants them too. Some apps simply don't allow video rotation.
Ok thx. I had to know that myself....
Any way or any browser that lets you zoom in or force full screen mode, like in the iphone xs max when watching videos? Or like how youtube allows?
I use the samsung browser and haven't been able to figure out any settings to make this happen. You just get the black bars on the left and right when in landscape mode.
Thanks in advance for your help:good:
