Vlc video player and wifi switcher on my n900. Gre...

Question

I have just installed Vlc video player on my n900 that seems to play most things that I throw at it but it has the added advantage of expanding the video to fullscreen. This cuts off a little of the outside edge but well worth it for fullscreen viewing. Good to have as another media player on the phone.
Other great download is "wifi switcher" app that turns wifi on and off (not otherwise possible on n900) saves a lot of battery drainage, really noticeable.
Someone else might find these downloads useful.

As far as the VLC app . I downloaded the app from a link on the gerrymoth site and he gives instructions how to do this.
He also gives instructions how to create the" traffic cone"  icon for VLC so that it can be accessed through the nokia apps screen. Otherwise it only seems possible to be able to start it it via the n900 root command. You need to be careful to type the commands he gives exactly in the root  with all relevant gaps etc. He has three lines of commands and you have to press enter after each line , when done icon appears after phone is rebooted. Beforehand I downloaded xtreme app that takes you to the root of the n900.
When VLC is opened access options at top (blue triangle) ,open film from whereever it is stored and choose video preferences . Mine seems, by default to be on "autoscale video" that I uncheck and choose 2:1 double option with nothing else checked. When the film is playing all controls and options can be accessed by double tapping screen and to make them disappear double tap again.
I have kmplayer but unless I am missing something it does not seem to have a zoom function, if so can you tell me where.
