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

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
