Comment 33 for bug 270404

Thanks for your hard work packaging this new version. I have done a small amount of testing.

Upon selecting a video in nautilus to run using VLC, a box popped up asking for my preference of how to download album art. I could also hear the video start playing in the background, but had no way to control or see it since this dialog box was all that was there. Is it possible to set this option with a default so that the user doesn't have to deal with it? Rhythmbox downloads album art automatically, so I don't see any reason why VLC can't do this by default either.

The video can start playing immediately and plays the sound, but the visual part can take a while to appear (on one occasion, 3 seconds). When it does appear, it can appear with corruption for a few seconds (using xvid). This isn't a big deal, but it would be better if it takes its time loading, and starts all at once.

Moving other windows over a playing VLC window leaves remnants of the picture on that window (I tested with nautilus). I also moved the VLC window itself around and found it left picture on the panel. While moving it, it then froze my system. ctrl-alt-del/bksp were of no use, I had to hard reset. This bug is a blocker for VLC 0.9.2.

Thanks again for your work. I hope these issues can be resolved :-)
