You'd probably get better performance, and be able to playback
HD without rescaling, with -vo gl -dr.

No, I get better performance using Xv even if I have to rescale the video. The second best option is to use x11 video output.

However, this is not so much about performance. It's about opening a video and being able to watch it without user intervention.

As I said, the situation now is: It tries to use Xv, but detects that my max resolution allowed is 1024x1088, and since the video has a higher resolution, it quits.

The desired behavior would be: It tries to use Xv, but detects that my max resolution allowed is 1024x1088, and since the video has a higher resolution, it either:

a) Automatically rescales the video to fit into that maximum (preferred)

b) Reverts to other output driver, be it x11 or gl with -dr option (but at least in my computer this works worse than the first option).

As a result, the user that clicks on a video file can actually watch it, instead of seeing the player "crash".
