Some text cut off in Celluloid tiled window video.
 

Hi.

I just noticed this video when played on a 50% right tiled Celluloid window. The same tiled window in VLC looks fine. Please see the 2 linked images.

Is there a way to make Celluloid show the full video while still in a tiled window?

Thanks.

Hi

I never liked the interface of Celluloid this is one of those reasons. Celluloid uses the mpv backend to play videos. I suggest installing smplayer which is frontend to mpv like Celluloid is a much better interface.

Hi Dave. I like SMplayer also. The only thing I dislike is it's inability to remember the playback speed per open session. You see, I play many videos at 1.2 or more (sometimes 1.6x). With Celluloid, as long as I don't close it, it remembers the changed playback speed of the previous video. With SMplayer, it's too tedious having to constantly change the playback speed with each new video.

The title "some text cut off" is misleading - it's part of the video that's cut off, it just happens to have words on it.
Or does it happen only when there's printed words in the video?
This should be easily fixable in any video player - if it isn't, it's time to drop it and use another one.
Just go through Celluloid's menus, I'm sure you'll find what you need to "fit to window" or zoom out etc.

Yes, I guess that is a better description.
It's only noticeable when there's text although I presume it also happens when there's no text - just not as noticeable then.

I just play mp4 videos with smplayer seems to look better the VLC. Have you tried VLC for your issue?

What's the link? I have celluloid, I'll try using mine to see if it happens.

Hi Dave. I was using VLC for years. I got tired of it's oddities - not playing audio at the very befogging of some videos, crashing when fast-forwarding/rewinding, garbled screenshots, etc.

I have never had issues with vlc not playing a music file or befogging videos. I use it on Linux Mint and windows. What OS are you using you never said or I am blind.

I'm running Debian. My old PC ran an Intel CPU and Nvidia GPU. My current PC has an AMD CPU & GPU. The same issues remain with VLC.

First off, you need to download the YouTube video, which I did using this online YouTube-download (vlc among others apps also).
Then playing it with Celluloid. All text was seen. No cutoffs.

Did you change the Celluloid video window to a 50% right tiled window? What's your monitor resolution? Mine is 1920x1080.

Yes, 1920X1080, and I went even more than 50%. See here:
