Youtube problems on full screen.Video size small w/ borders

[mad-k]

Hi to all,

I have a cinnamon mint 14 32-bit installed on a DELL E5420 laptop with an external monitor. I haven't installed a flash plugin or graphics card drivers, the installation of the system is default, out of the box.

1st problem:When I play a youtube video on fullscreen the video is small with black borders around. Here is a screenshot http://postimage.org/image/grn7nqu3b/ It seems that this issue is circulating around in the forum with no solution so far!

2nd problem: When I play a youtube video on full screen and click anywhere on the desktop on the other monitor, flash video exits full screen.

My System info

Code: Select all

Graphics: Card: Intel 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller bus-ID: 00:02.0

Thank you in advance

Ha! i have the exact same thing as your 1st problem and dont have a clue on what to do to fix it, suprisingly enough its not with alle video's as some play perfectly fine which are in High Definition i believe.
So in that aspect i think it could be a scaling issue?

I'm having this exact problem.

I'm running 15 "Olivia" with MATE, and Chromium.

The "letterbox" view of videos been particularly annoying. But, also, as someone who works (or plays ) on one monitor best whilst passively viewing something on another, the drop out of full screen is probably more annoying.

Postscript: HTML5 videos on YouTube (limited to ad-free videos on YouTube) and JupiterBroadcasting remain in full screen and don't produce the letterbox view.
