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

Strange because i know for a fact that mpv does full screen nicely...i watched recently a clip in 720p scaled nicely to 1680x1050...probably something with VGA/monitor detection.
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

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?

Why dont you run 'tasksel' and install ful-fledged desktop environment for full video support (xfce and lxde are the smallest ones)
And see all your commands working?
Then set up autologin and put your video wall commands in a session startup?
Some media player may depend on window manager to set full screen window and on video driver scaling video to that window.
I can confirm all your commands do proper fullscreen on much older hardware inside X11.

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:

Any thoughts?
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
Same result? Does it access fbdev under x11?
Intel sort of programs X11 driver themselves, and it should work always and well.
can you try loding kodi (formerly known as xbmc), which is fully featured HTPC software?
http://kodi.wiki/view/HOW-TO:Install_Kodi_for_Linux
It runs in a X11 session and is very smart about video accelerations and driver bugs, i.e. plays any video possible without any special parameters.

Found out the problem is with nuc supportability it has Linux OS. I was getting a lot of errors with hdmi and pulse audio when I run vlc player from cli. The driver got installed but it looks like it's for different nuc hardware. Here http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/boards-and-kits/intel-nuc-boards/000005628.html
