Screen moved to the left in window mode

ignition · #1 (**permalink**) 7th December 2003

When playing movies with last BSplayer version I get a blurred area in the right end of the movie window, on every 1 of my pcs. The movie doesn't fit the window. I've tried selecting some options like "adjust to window" or something but no positive results.
What is that due to?
In full screen mode no problem.
I'l continue to use 0.86 since it's more flexible (less clicks to change same options).

Same prob here.

Very annoying.

I, too, am experiencing the same issue. These videos play fine in other players, and it is literally every video I play that this happens to. Do you think it is a missing/bad codec issue? Here are my specs, in case there is any relevance...
P4 3.2ghz, 800mhz FSB
512mb PC3200 DDR
60gb + 120gb HD's
eVga GeForce4 Ti 4600 (53.03 drivers)
Windows XP

Thanks!
Matt

It's definitely not a codec issue since its work fine in winamp, wmp, Real1, or any divx players i can think of...

I've had the same problem just suddenly appearing myself. The solution I found was that I closed my StatBar proggy that was running. If you have any side or topbars that are active, try closing them and then running bsplayer again.

Hahahaha....
Great catch, ilifin! I have my taskbar on the left (always on top). I don't run StatBar anymore - I run Samurize for my system monitor (def. worth a look!). Anyway, I set my taskbar to auto-hide, restarted BSPlayer - voila! The junk on the right hand side of the video goes away! As a test, I put my taskbar on the top and set it to 'always on top' again, restarted BSPlayer, and sure enough - now I get junk on the bottom instead of the right!! Another test: moving the taskbar to the bottom of the screen - interesting! The video plays just fine there! BSPlayer doesn't seem to like any toolbars or the taskbar anywhere except the bottom of the screen!!!

No offense intended to those who do, but I can't stand my taskbar being on the bottom. I hope the developer(s?) can fix this bug without too much trouble. BSPlayer sure seems like the player I want to use exclusively, but I'll have to wait until this interesting little quirk is fixed.

Same prob, same solution : my taskbar is on the left of the screen (i like it like that).

Hope it can be fixed in the next version :)

well I like my bar to the left, there's much more room to manage icons and windows, and I'm not gonna hide it or change properties just for using this version. I like so much BSplayer, better than any other player, audio options might be improved tho. But I don't need to use a buggy version if it doesn't improve anything regarding the previous version.
Besides in 0.86 access to options was faster

Just hope they release something better.

:D
