Linux GUI: you cannot resize Gnome Mplayer's player window but you can turn it to full screen
However windowed watching of video would be sometimes preferred but it would need a resize window option

Linux has no GUI.
WELCOME TO Jow Forums, YOUR TECH SUPPORT FORUM
Windows are resized by holding left alt and dragging the mouse while holding right click.
>I don't know what linux is
doesnt work on my machine
the resize icon however does appear on the screen so probably it was meant to work like you said
Isn't this just somekinda frontend/WM thing or whatever
The way to resize windows in most window makers is to super+right click drag.
Mpv replaced mplayer. Try that and come back.
Also VLC is popular,
And never be surprised when using gnome and find a feature missing
underlaying desktop is XFCE
>VLC
nope not gonna install 10+ dependencies
That's why I use mpv. And I haven't noticed the issue mentioned here with mpv, but I use keyboard for everything, I don't resize windows with the mouse
>coping this hard
I could also use keyboard for resize but it wont work either on my machine
>DS9
Eh? how can you youse mpv with a bare kernel?
He's actually using a GNU OS, he's too dumb to realise it though and believes kernel = OS
not sure why you'd use gnome-mplayer over mpv, but whatever, i installed it to have a look and it resizes just fine
and yes, the edges/corners work, too, but who uses those?
also, i don't know why it's flickering like that. i didn't mess with it, i haven't used plain old mplayer in a long time
then he should not use something he doesn't understand
Do you even know what most of those dependencies do before complaining about them? Have fun doing anything with your media player if you don't have ffmpeg to do most of the grunt work.
I do have ffmpeg, but there is dozen of silly requirements there, especially qt5, wtf?
dou You know how many hours it takes to compile qt5?
>qt5
probably because it uses that for its UI?
>compile
why aren't you letting a package manager handle all this stuff? No wonder why you seem to have some unreasonable hate towards a program with multiple dependencies
this is what gentooautists are like, they will install gentoo on their single core thinkpad and then refuse to install anything because it would take them 10h to compile
OP is LITERALLY a fucking idiot.
I have DUAL CORE thinkpad
look at that flickering
GNU + Linux doesn't have a “GUI”. Graphical interfaces are provided by third-party packages.
OOS. Closed for “Off-Topic”
Okay, brainlet.
That's gtk3, not linux nor mplayer. If you were to recompile against gtk2 you wouldn't have that problem. Yes, you get to blame lennart for that one as well.
Now that I think of it, I resize windows by doing Meta + Right Click and dragging. That's how I've done it for years, way easier than lining up the mouse with the window border to resize
It's not a limitation, but the gamma correction on linux sucks dick.
Put some small white text on a black background and you'll see a lot of color fringing.
Linux is a kernel you retard
Wow, so this is the power of gnu+linux.
It doesn't on a sane distro :^)
But why wouldn't you want qt5 for a cozy qtwebkit browser like falkon?
honestly, I believe a Windows user would be smart enough to solve the problem
Autism is making you use Linux not intelligence.
This is the problem with GNOME, not Linux geniuses. Not that you should be using it in this day and age.
and this is why linux will never make it off the ground
Gentoo does not have this problem.
The gamma correction is not a problem with gnome, it's a problem with freetype.
The pendulum swings both ways.
Understand that both mpv and VLC have niches. I prefer mpv for quick viewing and using shaders on anime and VLC for playing EVERYTHING to include rtmp streams
mpv also plays rtmp streams, and anything else.
I'm sure it does since it uses ffmpeg, but I'm too lazy to run mpv from the commandline to do so.
it's been more than 20 years and there's still no thumbnail view in the file picker
Works on my machine

nice "desktop" you have there, linuxfags
The biggest limiting factor of Linux is the OS. By not using Windows you wall yourself off from the majority of usable programs and capabilities
Another gripe i've found is that if you use MPV, and you enable the -no-border switch, it won't let you drag the corners of the player to resize it.. Windows does not have this problem.
False. No border = disable window manager decorations. Windows behave identically when you enable that same option.
VLC doesn't have this problem.
Fuck GTK+3, QT masterrace
that's KDE's specific network share thing, KIO, i think it is
i prefer to mount network shares into my real filesystem, no need for application support
>unironically using gnome
Why gnome is so bugged? I was using if for two months some time ago and even Windows would be better choice.
I am using xfce and KDE with antergos as my daily drivers — and haven't experienced any issue (even screen tearing, no idea how does it look like desu).
who are you quoting?
oopsy doopsy, wasn't quoting
i mean who are you talking about, OP's picture doesn't look like gnome (3)
>screen tearing
It's like a God: if you can't see it, it doesn't mean there's none
yea dunno about that, i haven't use mplayer in a long time (moved to mplayer2, then mpv), and i haven't seen it do this before
i only installed it to make a clip for op
Whats the point of using the gnome player if you aren't using gnome then?
what's the point of using mplayer when mpv exists?
>Using Gnome MPlayer
Wew lad
What's the point of using Linux when Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC exists?
>nope I would rather have one bloated wheel-reinvented program
>that flicker
WWWAHAAHHAHAHAHAHAH
FREETARDS EVERYBODY
>implying I don't use mpv
not the sharpest tool in the shed, are you?
Your first mistake is using anything GNOME related.
HA! I've been using Linux since Jaunty (not forever, I know), and I did not know that. I always used Alt to move windows.
Learn something new everyday. I love you.
why would you lie about that
t. samba shares just werk on vlc and smplayer using openpepe leap 15 kde plasma
Does anybody here think OP has ever driven a single person away from Linux? I mean these threads get made every single day, and yet I doubt one person has ever changed their perception from neutral or positive to negative. Not one person has ever decided not to install Linux because of OP. It just comes off as if a retarded person who should probably have a console and a phone at the most is sperging out because a real OS is too hard to use, as they have a sub-normal IQ.

GNU doesn't provide a GUI, but GNU programs require a GUI. It's a weird situation.
is this copypasta meant to ban amaericans from the site like the Chinese one? I'm confused.
what's linux?
> GUI
what's gui?
If your head wasn't so deep up your ass, maybe you'd know how stupid you sounded
