A fix for annoying mplayer full-screen mode switch
Authored by: TvE on Jul 22, '04 09:32:36AM
Up to now, I have been usin VideoLan Client (VLC) to view videos on my Mac. But I don't like VLC because keyboard control is too complicated. I really like MPlayer, because I can skip forward and backwards simply by pressing the cursor buttons

Then why don't you just go to VLC's preferences and change the shortcuts to what you like - I find VLC being extremely customizable...

This didn't work for me. I tried setting the shortcuts the way they are in mplayer, but it seems like the keyboard shortcuts always need the Command/Apple button. So to skip, i need to press Command-left instead of simpy left and so on.

I had the same problem, too, until I realized that the issue was that the arrow keys sans modifiers were already assigned to other functions in VLC (sorry, can't remember what). I tracked them down, changed them, and now it works fine! I'll try the recompiled MPlayer, too, since the resolution change annoyed me, but I'm pretty happy with VLC after having made these changes.
