Correct.  -fs is an input parameter to mplayer.  These aren't explicitly
covered in the wiki as mplayer documentation covers them elsewhere.

Well, TMPlayerControl is only a thin wrapper over mplayer, so there's
significant overlap.

However, to be clear TMPlayerControl does not support fullscreen.  I've now
confirmed your results, and simply adding -fs to StartParam is not
sufficient.

If you're interested, it looks like the issue is down to the -wid parameter
(which sets the display window handle).  If I comment out the two -wid
lines in MPlayerCtrl.pas (line 665, 666), and insert -fs instead, then
fullscreen works.

No easy workaround available I'm afraid.  Looks like a code change in
MPlayerCtrl is required implementing a .FullScreen property.   However, I
still can't see how we'd toggle fullscreen, I can only see how to either
start in FullScreen or in a Window.   And that caveat from the mplayer
documentation would still hold - not all drivers are supported.

Patches welcome :-)
