This small starter works around a bug in Gxine, that crashes it when switching to fullscreenmode.
Install, run from the Dotpups-menu:

http://dotpups.de/dotpups/Multimedia/gxinefullscreen.pup (5 kb)

It runs Gxine, and resizes it so, that it looks like it runs in fullscreen-mode.

You also can run it from scripts:
gxinefullscreen themovie.avi

Works with version 0.4.6, for other versions you must set the version in the "title"-line in
/usr/local/gxinefullscreen/gxinefullscreen

Mark-

Works perfectly, thank you. I'm adding this to Grafpup, and it might be useful in Puppy-109 as well.

Updated the Dotpup.
It should be more reliable and faster now.

Tried it with puppy2.00 and the gxine is in fullscreen mode but the screen in shifted up a quarter of the screen.....why is this?

It seems the windowhandling in Jwm changed, I also have this issue.
Solution:

install xine-ui

Then you can run
xine -f /root/testfilm.avi

Works fine in Jwm in Puppy 2.01.

I thought that we don't have that bug in Puppy2 anyway?
Someone else reported the bug was gone, also I regularly flip to full screen.
Which means the fix is only required for puppy1?

oh, did not try this yet Embarassed

But to run fullscreen from a script, you need xine-ui, Gxine seems to have no -f parameter.

But that will be needed very seldom I think.
