On start, videos don't cover the Audience window

[Alin Andrei]

When loading a new video, it doesn't cover the whole Audience window and instead it's displayed squashed in the top right corner. Here's a screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/CJPKu.png

There are 2 work-arounds: make the video fullscreen and then you can return to window mode or resize the window and the video will then fit the window as it should.

Let me know if you need more info.

I thought I already fixed this. Which version did you test? Or is it a very long video? (could be possible that the video was not fully loaded when the aspect ration is calculated the first, but I'm not sure if this could happen...)

[Alin Andrei (nilarimogard)]

It wasn't a very long video. I think it was rev. 45, but I'm not sure. I wanted to compile the latest code, but it fails:

Ok, this is caused by a strange API issue (it should actually work). I have set the minimum vala version to 0.15.1 now, it should work this way.

[Alin Andrei (nilarimogard)]

Ok, now I was able to compile the latest bzr rev. The bug I've mentioned in this bug report still occurs. With all the videos I've tried.

[Cody Garver (codygarver)]

I'm affected by this bug as well. Enter then exit fullscreen (double click picture or maximize) for a workaround.

[Tom Beckmann (tombeckmann)]

Ok, got myself a bigger video now :) for me it's working now, please test if it does for you. (the video wasn't fully loaded when I used its height information to calculate the aspect ratio)

[Alin Andrei (nilarimogard)]

It works now!

[Cody Garver (codygarver)]

Fix confirmed :)

[Keith Adair (kjzz12)]

This bug still affects me, but ONLY if I'm resuming a video. Starting a new one works fine.

[Pim Vullers (pimvullers)]

Keith, could you please list the steps to reproduce?

[Keith Adair (kjzz12)]

Sure!

1. Watch a video.
2. Pause the video.
3. Close the window
4. Open audience
5. Hit "resume last video", et voila! The video only occupies the upper center area of the window, like so: http://i.imgur.com/VYzqw.png
Also, upon resuming, the video is ahead of where it should be timewise by about a minute.
It also occurs with only a few videos. Shorter .avi files seem to cause it pretty consistently, but movie length ones don't. Neither do mp4 files of any length.

Also, if I just launch from pantheon-files, the video will resume from where I left off, and in the correct size. So this only affects the "resume last video" button and can be worked around by not using it.

[Pim Vullers (pimvullers)]

I cannot reproduce this because I do not get the 'resume last video' option... so that might even be worth a new bug... should check the list for that.
