full screen problems with 1.8
 

hello.

i have a problem viewing movies in full screen with my 1.8 player

i'm using virtualdub to resize the movie and rotate it but when i'm converting the video with the amv tool even when i'm using the 160*120
it masses up the video size.

what do i do?

thanks!!!

bkcproject, Try the new version of MP3 Player Utilities 4.03 as it now has a rotation setting. You can find it in the Download>Tools section.

thanks!

the video does rotate.

but now i have a new problem.
the player stops the video and shows an error massage after a few seconds every time i try to play the video.

(i've tried both high and middle in the settings)


do you know whats wrong?

bkcproject, If you are using version 4.0 try 3.57, I have posted the settings here http://www.mympxplayer.com/viewtopic.php?t=449

BUT THE 3.57 CANT ROTATE THE VIDEO
CAN IT?

BKCPROJECT,
No 3.57 does not have the rotation option.
If your player does not automatically rotate the video for full screen viewing then you may have some problems trying to get full screen. This is why.
Version 3.57 you can not rotate the video.
Version 4.0 you can rotate the video but you can not adjust the frame rate.
Version 4.03 you can rotate the video and adjust the frame rate but I have not been able to get it to convert at 160x120. Even though it is set to this it converts at 174x128 which will not play.

first of all thanks for youre help!

and second.

4.03 converts and flips the video properly the problem is tjat i keep getting a format error everytime i try to play the video.


is there a way to solve this?

BKCPROJECT, If you are running a 1.8 LCD 4.03 is never going to do it as it will not convert to 160x120 even though it has a setting for it. If you play a converted file on your PC with AMV Player, while it is running right click on the picture and select properties you will see it is actually 176x128 which is just going to keep crashing your player.

is there a way to update the firmware in my player
so it would automaticly rotate?

Try changing the video rate to MEDIUM instead of HIGH as the HIGH setting might be too much for your player to handle and hence crashes....

Try that and let me know what the result is...

BKCPROJECT, What sort of player do you have and what version is the firmware?

can you tell me how to check?

BKCPROJECT, If you look in your players settings menu there is an entry for firmware version.

admin

i tried medium and im still getting a format error

it says:

acts16d_13

and

ws- 3.2.13

bkcproject, Sorry man, I do not think you will find a 3.2.13 with auto rotate. I have heard it done a couple of times with 3.5.35 to 3.5.37. But 3.2.13 to 3.5.37 is a big jump and I think you would surely kill your player trying. I suggest you start a new post asking if anyone has a version 3.2.13 or 3.2.16 for a 1.8 LCD that has auto rotate for full screen viewing, you may get a responce.

i cant change the version by updating the firmware?

bkcproject, I have never had a 3.2.13 version player so I can not say 100%. But I think it would be risky.

is it at all possible to change versions?

well,

tadad1 thanks a lot!!!

youve really helped me!

i had no idea why the full screen doesnt work.


hanks again!!!

bkcproject, You are welcome man, I am sorry we could not fix it for you. In your post for a 3.2.13 you should also put 3.2.16 as that version may be ok with your player. Remember to backup your firmware before trying to upgrade though, if anything goes wrong you will need it.

Good Luck, if I find anything I will let you know.

tadad1,

i've encountered somthing pretty strange.

when i check my f/w version through the player it says 3.2.12 but when im trying to extract firmware the s1fwx says 3.5.35

any clue what is the real version?

bkcproject, Can you upload your firmware to Rapidshare and leave me a link so I can look at it.
Thanks

bkcproject,
"bliushift" just posted a message that may interest you here.

haa... i wish my player would do the same.

but other than that we have the same problem

here is the link to the f\w

tadad1 thanks a lloooottt!!!

forgot to write my nick...

bkcproject, I think the firmware has been upgraded from 3.2.13 to 3.5.35 it appears to have images and file names from both versions. I have tried it on 2 of my 1.8 players and it just leaves a black screen. What is interesting with "bliushift" firmware is that it appears as 3.2.13 on the player but 3.5.37 with s1fwx same as yours so his may be a 3.5.37 version of your 3.5.35 but it is hard to say 100%. He has uploaded his to the site so when admin clears it I will check it against yours, it may be an upgrade for you.

and can i upgrade my player eith a 3.3.35 or 3.5.37 that supports auto rotate?

bkc-project, I have looked at bliushifts firmware and it is very different from yours. I have doubts that it would be compatible with your player. It did not work on my 2 test players.
Trying to upgrade your player is always risky, If the firmware is not right you could end up with a blank screen as I did but could recover quite easily with your backup dump or you could be left with a dead player.

i have a backup

but how can i find a f/w that is suitable for my player?

bkc-project, You would need to know your players mainboard serial number, your chipset type, your LCD type, then find a firmware that came from a player with the same specifications and even then it may not be 100%. There are so many different players made with different components and all their firmware is slightly different. That is why upgrading your firmware is so risky.

thanks for explaining it to me.

i had no idea why it doesnt work.

ill try and find a suitable one

thanks tadad1!

great to have someone like you around!

bkc-project, No worries man, if I find a solution I will let you know. :)
