GroupAdd, WindowsMediaPlayer, ahk_class WMPTransition GroupAdd, WindowsMediaPlayer, ahk_class WMPlayerApp I've come up with this possible (and a bit ugly) workaround: I can't remember, but I think I might have mentioned how annoying that is.So, i was trying to get a script to do this: after adding a file 2 play on Windows Media Player (11), press "CTRL+<" to put it in Full screen mode, wait a few miliseconds 4 the fullscreen mode 2 b ok and then play the video by pressing "CTRL+<" again when playin it (or when the video ends) return to normal mode (i.e. Moving the video around that way is probably much easier than trying to drag a window around when it's a lot larger than the size of the display. Same frame, this time the picture was moved to the left. I've moved the video over to the right so you can see a black border on the left where the video ends.

Here's the effect with MPC-HC displaying a 1080p video in it's native resolution using my CRT monitor. If you switch renderers you'll need to restart the player.

The WMR9 and EVR (custom presenter in the case of MPC-HC) renderers should both let you do it. The ability to move the video around might also depend on the renderer being used. If Potplayer doesn't use the same keyboard shortcuts by default as MPC-HC, and I'd be surprised if it doesn't, it should list the various keyboard shortcuts in it's options somewhere. So the Potplayer window would stay maximised while the video moves around within. If so, the keys on the numeric keypad do the resizing and stretching for MPC-HC (the 5 key resets everything), but CTRL+"the numeric keys" moves the video left and right, up and down etc. I assume that's the goal, to be able to look at the rest of the video in it's native resolution?

If you're at the stage where you've fiddled with settings enough to get the video to display at it's native resolution so you're only seeing a portion of it, rather than move the window around to see the rest of the video as you would with VLC, try moving the video around within the window.

However as huge chunks of Potplayer seem to be a MPC-HC rip off it'll probably have the same function. the maximum window size is the size of the display, I can't seem to get it to do what VLC does and extend off the end of the screen. I use MPC-HC and it seems to do the same thing. Rather than make the Potplayer window match the video size, which I find monumentally annoying when it's wider than the screen, you could try this.
