Flash fullscreen mode sometimes off-center

Hi,

do you have multiple monitors connected? I am currently only aware of such a problem when using multiple screens.

Michael

Hi Michael,

I've only ever had a single monitor connected, so I don't think that would
be the cause.

Thanks,
Roger

Hi,

I was not able to reproduce this yet. For me the flash player always goes correctly to fullscreen on youtube. The only idea I currently have is to create a debug log with WINEDEBUG=+win ( see http://pipelight.net/cms/faqs/faq-how-to-capture-debug-output.html ) which may contain the necessary functions calls to determine the fullscreen coordinates. The disadvantage is that this debug channel contains all kind of window related information and may produce a lot of output. Your screen resolution is also helpful to check the values inside the debug log.

Hi Michael,

I've created a debug log like you said and attached it, though I'm unable to pinpoint the exact point where the problem arises. My resolution is 1920x1080.

I suffer from the same issue with an up-to-date version of pipelight. Is there any test I can do in order to help?
