When I open a video with mplayer2 it "scales" to my window size. E.g.
The original being 720p. When I open the same file with mplayer it displays the video in its default resolution it seems, only cropped:
I read the manual page and tried the -zoom
option, but the results are not what I expected:
I could maybe use the -xy
or some scaling option, but I want the video "scale" to adapt to the window size (if I change the window size I want the video to adapt, like with mplayer2). Is this possible with mplayer?

Ah, good old Age of Empires. :)
You can fit the window to scale as you want through the following command, From Ubuntu's Forum:
mplayer -vf scale -zoom -xy 600 my_file.avi
where -xy 600 is the x axis value. Replace the 600 with desired value you want. Also, you can enter the custom value directly into your mplayer's config file as stated:
