Positioning problems

Post by Amcor_SST »

We tried to fix the window with the following command line.

c:\MPV-EASY Player V0.32.0.5>vncviewer -password PRUEF /viewonly /notoolbar /-position:-300 1 1080 1920 /connect 172.16.1.224


The only thing we found out is that the IP address has to be at the end in order to even get a connection.
The command given "-position X Y W H" in the instructions does not work. The numbers can be changed, the display position does not change.
May someone can help us.

regards Amcor

vncviewer password wrong -position 300 300 200 200 172.16.7.22 open a window in middle of screen in same size
vncviewer 172.16.7.22 -password wrong -position 100 100 500 500 open a error window: "authentication rejected"
option -fullscreen works
option -password password works
option -no toolbar works

UVNC 1.2.0.5 viewer does not have the parameter position, minimum is 1.3.x

Retested viewer 1.3.8.1 with server 1.2.0.5
vncviewer localhost -password xxx -position 500 0 500 500 & vncviewer localhost -password xxx -position 0 0 500 500 &
This opens 2 viewers at 0,0 and 500, 0
