JRVR Odd Behavior in full screen

(1/3) > >>

blgentry:
MC 28.0.89 for Apple Silicon
JRVR Renderer selected
M1 Mac Mini
MacOS 11.6
Ultra Widescreen monitor at 3440x1440 resolution


When starting a video in Normal View, all is well.  While playing, if you change to display view (command-3), the video is zoomed about 1.5x or so, then shifted to the right and down, so that only the upper left part of the video shows on screen.  Switching back to normal view (command-1), this cropping and shifting persists.  Pressing Stop and then Play again, makes it go back to normal.

This is a new Mac for me so I just started testing JRVR on this one.  I never saw this on my previous Macs, but none of them had ultra widescreen displays either.  I don't know if this is related to my monitor aspect ratio or not.

Changing the renderer back to OpenGL removes this behavior and videos play as expected.

Thanks,
Brian.

blgentry:
I can provide example screen shots if that would be helpful.

A Log might be helpful, as it would tell us the resolution it detects and the window size it targets. Maybe some of the position logic is wrong or some update event does not fire.

blgentry:
Log is a great idea.  Not sure why I didn't think of that.  :)

I did a very short and simple test:  Picked a movie in Playing now, doubled clicked it.  It played in Normal mode correctly.  Switched to Display View (Command-3) and it was zoomed and shifted.  Back to normal view, still zoomed and shifted.  Hit stop, then turned off log.

Log attached.

Thanks,
Brian.

Hendrik:
There seems to be some confusion with retina/display scaling. The renderer correctly determines the screen is 3440x1440, but MC thinks its 6880x2880, and tries to position it accordingly.
Not sure why macOS is doing its retina shenanigans on external displays that are just a fixed resolution, but thats causing this issue anyway.

What I don't know is why it starts in fullscreen only though.

I'll check with bob if he can help reproduce.
