linux video player that scale itself and run using command line
I used mplayer, vlc, totem, and mpv but none worked the way I want to. All of them doesn't auto scale on the size of the screen and doesn't even do full screen even though their manual says so. It shows the video in the middle of the screen and that's it... Kind of annnoying...
Do you know any other video player that can run full screen, autoscale to whatever the size of the screen, can automatically detect the sound output, and can run via CLI? I don't anything else that can run on ubuntu...
here's a good example of commands I used to run vlc,mpv, and mplayer that didn't work
/usr/bin/mpv -fs video.mp4
/usr/bin/mplayer -vo fbdev2 -fs video.mp4
/usr/bin/vlc -fs video.mp4

Mplayer scales well. Are you using X11?
ASKER
I do have X11 but i have my nuc boot up on cli but default
ASKER
This is the command I used to play my video:
/usr/bin/mplayer -vo fbdev2,x11 -xy 1280 -fs -zoom -ao alsa video.mp4
There's not even a sound on the video which I find really really weird.
/usr/bin/mplayer -vo fbdev2,x11 -xy 1280 -fs -zoom -ao alsa video.mp4

This is the best money I have ever spent. I cannot not tell you how many times these folks have saved my bacon. I learn so much from the contributors.

NUC is not an operating system. Please configure your Operating System to start X11 and all video acceleration in your video card will start working. e.g. fbdev does not support any hardware video playback acceleration.

umm I know nuc is not an OS. :) Its an intel hardware. On my description above, I mentioned that I'm using ubuntu and I'm hoping to find a better tool for playing video.
This is what I did so far and I see i
export DISPLAY=:0
startx&
vlc -f --play-and-exit --no-embedded-video video.mp4
It showed up the video now but on a smaller scale on the upper left hand side of the screen. I still dont have any audio though. Is there any options in vlc that I'm missing?

I reinstall the ubuntu with gnome desktop and use vlc instead of mplayer. Problem now is that when I run it, the video starts on the terminal window where it should show on the tv. This is the command I ran:
/usr/bin/mplayer -vo fbdev2,x11 -ao alsa -dr -fs −nolirc -noconsolecontrols video.mp4 <--Nothing showed up
This is the error I get:
Any thoughts?
/usr/bin/mplayer -vo fbdev2,x11 -ao alsa -dr -fs −nolirc -noconsolecontrols video.mp4 <--Nothing showed up
This is the error I get:

Yeap tried it as ubuntu user and still same problem. I even rebuild the nuc to centos 7, ubuntu 14, and ubuntu 16 and all have same result. This intel hardware is such a pain to work with

There's no actual solution. The problem exists on the HDMI capability on NUC and Ubuntu. Looks like a driver but I already installed the driver. I'm still not sure why this is not autoscaling.
