xvimagesink crash when xv doesn't support shm
Last modified: 2009-08-15 18:40:50 UTC
For some reason, my xv support doesn't seem to support shm, or at least thats the impression I got from the segfaults I was getting. So I made it not crash. Except now the window just contains garbage. However I get the same garbage trying to use sdlvideosink or running xine, so unfortunately I think its a problem with my video driver *sigh*.
Created attachment 29396 [details] [review] small patch that fixes the segfault This is the patch, that it didn't offer to let me upload when I initally filed the bug. It has a couple of comments that could use removing that I forgot to remove, but its a small patch anyway, and I don't know much about xv so someone ought to review this :)
Adding the PATCH keyword
Patch adapted and applied. I can't test As I don't know a way to disable shm support. Please retest and - close if it works. - change status to ASSIGNED when there's still issues Thanks.
Nothing heard back so assuming the patch fixed it. Closing.
