Re: [xine-user] xine and Blue Screen

[Miguel F. <mfr...@gm...>]

Hi,

I just received a message from Peetah reporting that kaffeine frontend
does not show this behaviour (but totem does, as well as xine-ui).
This would be a quite important finding. I'd like to ask everybody
with this problem to confirm that kaffeine/libxine rc5 combination
does not produce the blue window problem.

I'm currently checking how video window is created on QT, looking for
any particular difference. we have had issues like that before, but
was the other way round - kaffeine was not displaying subtitles.

besides, checking if window manager makes any difference would be
interesting too... (what desktop are you people with problem using?)

thanks,

Miguel
