[Lazarus] TMPlayerControl

[Michael Thompson]

G'day,

> -fs does not appear in parameters list ... correct?

Correct.  -fs does not appear when I call "mplayer -input cmdlist".

I note it does appear in the following page though:
http://mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/man/en/mplayer.1.html#GENERAL%20OPTIONS

Maybe they're more diligent on updating the web than the cmdlist?

I also note there is a "get_vo_fullscreen" property in the "mplayer -input
cmdlist" output, which implies a "set_vo_fullscreen" (though none is listed)

And finally I note there's a caveat on the webpage saying -fs doesn't work
with all video drivers...

Using MPlayer on Windows, despite no -fs appearing in the above, I can
still play video in full screen passing the -fs parameter.  Which means
this *should* work in the Lazarus TMplayerControl control by simply adding
-fs to StartParam.

How this works in reality though I'm unsure :-)  If you get a chance to
experiment, I'd love to know the results.  From the documentation I've
found so far, I'm unsure how to toggle FullScreen, and how to determine
which monitor gets the video...

I also suspect this conversation is going to veer more into the mplayer
arena than the Lazarus arena, so I'm happy for this continue as a personal
email chain (just reply to me, not to Lazarus).  I'll update the wiki with
the outcome
