Re: [Mlt-devel] MLT in Ubuntu 9.10 / i386

[Jonathan T. <jon...@gm...>]

Dan,
Here is an update for everyone.  I have added 2 new dependencies to the
OpenShot PPA:
1) librsvg2-common
2) libsdl1.2debian-pulseaudio  (thanks to your suggestion)

These packages seem to fix an issue where MLT playback would freeze, and an
issue on kubuntu where MLT can't use SVG images.

The only remaining issue I have is with Ubuntu 9.10 / 32 bit version.
Regardless of desktop effects, some users have output that is squished into
the top of the SDL window.  Not everyone is having this issue.  I've
encountered it with 2 of my 3 PCs, and I've been contacted by a few more
people with the same issue.  I'm not sure I know enough about debugging MLT
to help determine the cause of the issue.

Thanks!
-Jonathan
