VLC video player does not display correctly in full screen

Open GhostKraft opened this issue 5 years ago • 4 comments

VLC in full-screen mode when moving with the mouse, the window goes back to the tiling mode and the control panel goes beyond the main window. This only happens in the Bspwm window manager. I tried to establish various rules for the window, it does not help. This happens both with established rules and without them.

When the mouse moves, the control panel should appear in full screen mode without minimizing the window to tiling mode.

Arch Linux Bspwm 0.9.9-1 VLC 3.0.8-1 image

I've run into similar problems with vlc in the past. Using an external rule for vlc is working for me:

#! /bin/sh

wid=$1
class=$2
instance=$3

if [ "$instance" = vlc ] ; then
    title=$(xtitle "$wid")
    case "$title" in
        vlc)
            echo "layer=above border=off"
            ;;
    esac
fi

Save the above somewhere and point to it in your bspwmrc with bspc config external_rules_command "/path/to/external/rules/script".

Worth a shot, anyway.

Unfortunately, I did not find a fix for this.

No fix still?
