GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 154761
Strange behaviour with xvideo and totem
Last modified: 2009-08-15 18:40:50 UTC
Have a playlist of movies running in Totem. Move other windows on top of the Totem window to take away its focus. That should trigger the bug where only part of the xvimage is shown as shown in screenshot called xvideobug.png. Now cover the totem window completly and as the next video starts playing the video window pops ups as a separate window. See screenshot called nofocusbug.png.

In case other people are having trouble reproducing I think it is worth mentioning I use the non-free NVIDIA drivers version 6111. Could if course be that this is a bug with the xvideo support in those drivers.
I'm getting the same kind of problems using free drivers (ati radeon). When the totem window is on the background with stuff over it, the visible part is properly drawn. When I give it focus back, only the upper part is drawn. When I move it, it's properly redrawn (ie the whole movie gets visible again). I also get a separate window briefly (~1 second, maybe less) popping up when starting a new video most of the time. Reverting before this commit: Remove gstvideowidget, integrate widget in bvw just like the xine version does. Fix some obscure race or so that made this not work on some systems and work fien on others. * src/totem-statusbar.c: (totem_statusbar_set_time_and_length): Only redraw the label if it actually changed. Huge performance benefit (drawing labels is expensive...). (but still with playbin) fixes the drawing issue, but not the 2nd window popping up.
Is this fixed in current CVS, Christian?
Yes, this problem is gone with current versions/CVS. Closing.
