Windows Media won't go full screen

[alun]

On all my other XDAs I could view videos in complete full mode.
I have tried all I can to find out how my exec will play a movie in full and it won't.
It just blacks out the rest of the screen and plays a tiny little video in letterbox shape.

This is so so so annoying and i would love to find out if anyone can help.

I haven't seen anything on here about it - search returns nil.

Is anyone able to play Full Screen????

Help me.

Use a freeware player like TCPMP. WMP doesn't support full-screen playback, its a problem with the OS itself.

So this is a bug isolated to WM5/WMP10 only? WMP9 doesn't have any problems on WM 2003.

This problem is request and know in i-mate web... Looking for solutions.

Yeah I agree, on my old XDA ii and XDA iis it worked fine. must be a wm10 or wmb5 thing.

With that in mind, is there a way to put windows media 9 on my pda?

Also on another subject, i just did the latest upgrade ofrom from o2's site and my phone keeps crashing and has the following errors:

* when I go back to the today screen, the last window is still showing on the icon left hand side of the screen, therefore stopping me from selecting things.

* My e-mail accounts keep disapearing although the name of them still shows in the selection option in the today screen. This used to happen all the time before the upgrade and now it is worse. Usually deletes the account after a soft reset or crash. annoying thing is you can't name a new account with the previous name as it is still stored in the memory somewhere but you can't find it in the e-mail program.

* when i did my upgrade, I copied everything across from the pda (drag and drop) so that I could re-insert the message files to keep my sms's, although it just copied empty folders. Are all the files locked or restricted or did I need to perform the drag and drop by files and not folders?

I seem to have a love and hate relationship with my pda. Although, the best thing about wmb5 is the memory, no more lost data when your battery dies. They are getting closer to laptop functionality and I can't wait to see what the next version has to offer.

* and finally, it is slower than ever.

Hi,
Samething is missing.

I have a Xda Universal and a Xda Atom.
Last Rom in both.

Running ORB (www.orb.com) on home PC.

Xda Universal connect via Wifi steam via orb cannot get full screen.

Xda Atom same connection same programs install via Wifi I can get full screen in Windows Media Player. Both systems WM5.

Why can´t I see full screen in Universal?

Regards
JoseF

I don't know how it say it nicely (but I mean no disrespect) but the point needs to be made: Trying to use WMP for video playback is so worthless (compared to using TCPMP) that it is rediculous to spend time and effort in regards to the video play back in WMP not being full screen. If you're not the kind of person who would be willing to try the free TCPMP (soon to be BetaPlayer or pay version CorePlayer) then there's no reason to be on these forums.

Hi . I usually use TCPMP

The point is that it you can see in full screen in WMP in WM5

The question is why you can see in the Atom but not in the Universal

If you see the topic is
"Windows Media won't go full screen"

The question is not using TCPMP

Agree with JoseF.
Sometimes you just need wmp10 to do the job, like wmv streaming. I'm not sure TCPMP support that.

But of course wmp10 can go full screen if the original video size is bigger than 640x480.

I find that WMP gives better sound quality (and slightly more volume) than TCPMP when listening through headphones.

Good as TCPMP is, if WMP would play videos properly I would uninstall TCPMP and use the space for something else instead. Is anyone looking at a hack to get WMP working properly?

Agree with JoseF.

In other words WMP is working fine with videos over 640x480 - thats good news - will try it later.
