[vlc-devel] How to do fullscreen in 1.1.x with libvlc API

[Tony Anecito]

According to the vlcj bindings develover the fullscreen api calls did work 
before 1.1.x. I can attest to that because I was also using the bindings before 
1.1.x and yes it did work. Someone made a change that disabled the fullscreen 
api. I have not looked at the code to see what alternatives exist. But if you 
have found a way to make fullscreen work from somewhere in the api I am sure the 
vlcj developer would be very happy.

Thanks,
-Tony

Nope, I love the new API. No complain there! Just found this one thing
and reported it.

But fullscreen is working vlc.exe so I guess it is implemented
somewhere else in a different way than before. Or maybe it was never
using libvlc_toggle_fullscreen and doing it at the UI itself. Since I
own the window that I ask LibVLC to play in I will try to manage the
fullscreen on my own. Hopefully in a future release of VLC this might
get implemented.
