GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 328277
Totem CVS doesn't need restart for Visualisation anymore
Last modified: 2006-01-28 09:59:39 UTC
Please describe the problem: When switching visualisation you get a message saying 'Changing the visuals effect type will require a restart to take effect'. This is no longer true as the visualisation will now switch on the next song change. Steps to reproduce: Actual results: Expected results: Does this happen every time? Other information:
I think this has always been the case. Feel free to submit a better message.

Ok, discussed this a bit with Bastien today and we could use the message 'Your visual effects change will take place when the next track is played.'. That said maybe we should redo the visualisation stuff to switch on the fly. Afaik so should that be possible with 0.10 now and it would give the GStreamer backend the same behvaiour as the Xine one.
Christian, I worked on that for a day or so, my work is in http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=312901 It was not possible using 0.9, and since the bug hasn't even been looked at, I doubt it's possible now. Working on that bug would be cool, though.
Ok, Wim commented on that bug. I also talked to dolphy and he said that playbin needed updating before on-the-fly switching could work. So I will fix the message and mail the i18n team. And then hopefully be 2.16 we will have on-the-fly vis switching implemented in playbin.
Ok, closing this bug. Julien implemented on-the-fly-switching
