WahCade stops responding when control is joypad

[Zombie Ryushu]

WahCade stops responding when you use a Joypad to start the game, and then exit. It doesn't loop like it used too, it just stops responding and the controls entirely. and has to be killed.

Hi,

Which version are you using?

Cheers,
Andy

[Zombie Ryushu (zombie-ryushu)]

The latest bzr checkout. 1.0 pre1

[Andy Balcombe (andy-balcombe)]

Thanks Zombie. Think I've spotted a problem. Watch this space!

[Andy Balcombe (andy-balcombe)]

Hi Zombie,
Are you running on Ubuntu 10.10?
Cheers,
Andy

[Andy Balcombe (andy-balcombe)]

Hmmm. I can reproduce the issue, but only after a game movie has started playing. Is this the same for you?

[Zombie Ryushu (zombie-ryushu)]

I run Mandriva 2010.1; and I don't have any movies setup yet.

[Zombie Ryushu (zombie-ryushu)]

Have you committed a fix I can test?

[Andy Balcombe (andy-balcombe)]

Not yet, sorry.

Problem exists for ubuntu 10.10/10.04

[Wayne Moulden (waynemou)]

I have been back through some older revisions today (on UNR 10.10); this problem first appears for me in revision 19.

Zombie please checkout revision 18 to a new directory and confirm whether or not there is a problem for you. The joypad does not stop responding for me after returning from a launched title on commit 18.

Execute these commands to grab revision 18 and test. (% is bash prompt).
% bzr branch lp:wahcade
% bzr pull --overwrite -r 18
% cd wahcade
% ./wahcade.py

Correction to command sequence

Execute these commands to grab revision 18 and test. (% is bash prompt).
% bzr branch lp:wahcade
% cd wahcade
% bzr pull --overwrite -r 18
% ./wahcade.py

[Wayne Moulden (waynemou)]

this problem is corrected by reverting the changes to gst_media.py commit 19.

A proper fix is yet to be implemented.

Thanks for spotting that Wayne. I'll start working on a rewrite for that bit of code. I think I've got some better examples that I can knock into shape somewhere...

[Andy Balcombe (andy-balcombe)]

Making some progress. I've now got video working again, with a couple of exceptions:
1) First time video plays there's no image, only sound
2) Video playback on screensaver is still broken.
Hopefully will have these sorted in the next day or two...

[Andy Balcombe (andy-balcombe)]

Code is in rev.24

[Zombie Ryushu (zombie-ryushu)]

I may not use movies, but I DO use gstreamer for background music. has this issue been resolved yet?

[Andy Balcombe (andy-balcombe)]

I think it's fixed in commit 25. Let me know if it's not,
cheers, Andy
