when full screen the screen turns black or freezes.When you get out of it?

[Ermac]

For example when i watch a full screen video and press ESC-key my whole screen turns black for a least 2 minutes.Just stays black until I switch workspaces or move the mouse icon over it.

[Bilal Akhtar (bilalakhtar)]

Which engine are you using (default engine is auto)? Which file type is it? I can't reproduce it here. Does the same problem occur whenever you right-click the fullscreen window and select "Fullscreen" to turn off fullscreen? Or it only occurs with esc key?

[Ermac (ermacthewiz109)]

well first is on auto (Default)i change it to VLC engine same reaction the others ones as well.I turn full-screen both ways by clicking on it or by right clicking it, I do press the ESC-key to change it back to normal.The file type is AVI files, I use the other one such as mov etc..but on VLC.

[Bilal Akhtar (bilalakhtar)]

Tried to reproduce it by playing an avi movie in VLC mode, but the player came out of fullscreen normally. I can't reproduce the bug. Which Ubuntu release are you using? And which version of GNOME Media Player? Please run gnome-media-player from the command line, reproduce the problem and paste the command line output here.

[Ermac (ermacthewiz109)]

GNOME Media Player 0.1.2 this is the version i, using Ubuntu Karmic-XCFE version 4.6.1? by far now on VLC mode it doesn't happen?hope this helps in a some way? i like the player a lot.

[Bilal Akhtar (bilalakhtar)]

Thanks for your bug report. I think it is a problem with the dbus name not existing in XFCE. Michael, you try to solve this mess. Or mark it 'Won't Fix'.

[Michael Lamothe (lamothe-deactivatedaccount-deactivatedaccount)]

Mr. N,

1. Try another engine to see if it causes the same issue (not auto or vlc)
2. Does the same thing happen when you use the VLC player?
3. Try the latest revision (100) which should fix that assertion failure

Thanks,

Michael

[Bilal Akhtar (bilalakhtar)]

Mr. N,
In case you are using the PPA, wait a few minutes while I upload the package to the PPA.

[Ermac (ermacthewiz109)]

yes I'am using the PPA and now since the vlc works fine but xine/GStreamer engine they crash every time I tried to load a avi file with it when I switch so I have different engine but only vlc and auto works fine for now.

[Michael Lamothe (lamothe-deactivatedaccount-deactivatedaccount)]

I think that you are missing some GStreamer packages.

[Bilal Akhtar (bilalakhtar)]

Do other types of files run properly in gstreamer and xine?
If yes, then install the following packages:0

gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly
gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad
gstreamer0.10-fluendo
gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg
libxine1-x
linxine1-ffmpeg

[Bilal Akhtar (bilalakhtar)]

This bug is delaying the release of gnome-media-player 0.1.3 . I think this issue is solved, so I shall release 0.1.3 today. If it isn't, please give a reply quickly. All work on gnome-media-player 0.1.3 is completed, and I have crossed the expected date of release (yesterday, thursday).

[Ermac (ermacthewiz109)]

fire away...it sinces some of the plugins need to be updated that's what I notice.but by far it has not cause the freeze again, that was my concern the most but it sinces is fix.
Thanks :)

p.S. can i submit ideas maybe?if it possible?

[Michael Lamothe (lamothe-deactivatedaccount-deactivatedaccount)]

Hi Bilal, good work. When you package Me TV you should add those packages (gstreamer0.10-*, libxine-*) to depends. But this is your call.

[Bilal Akhtar (bilalakhtar)]

Michael:
Just a joke. You said "Me TV" by mistake instead of "GNOME Media Player"

Releasing 0.1.3 right now

[Ermac (ermacthewiz109)]

allright is fixed thanks guys.i runs much better now...thank you, now to watch some movies ^__^

[Michael Lamothe (lamothe-deactivatedaccount-deactivatedaccount)]

Ahahahah ... sorry Bilal :) I was jumping between projects.
