Video is extremely zoomed when playing

gvh

Hello everybody,

I'm trying to show a video (just that, nothing special) and I am using the media_player_mpy plugin. The video starts playing, but is zoomed in extremely much, so that I only see some color changes as only a small fragment of the whole video is shown.

Anybody has an idea how this might happen?

Thanks in advance!

Hi @gvh,

It may have to do with the resolution settings of your experiment and the resolution of your video file, the backend you're using, and whether you've got the "Fit video to screen" option disabled in the controls of the video player object.

Here are some things you could try:

• Resize your video file to the same or a smaller resolution than that you've set the experiment to.
• Enable the "Fit video to screen" in your media_player_mpy object (if your video has a different aspect ratio than your screen and it looks too stretched vertically or horizontally, disable this option, though).
• Try using the "legacy" backend.

Hope this helps.

Fabrice.
