Description Alex Graveley 2003-11-25 07:02:01 UTC
so awhile ago i wrote a 'hoverplay' patch to play movie files with
gstreamer inline. i sent the patch to Thomas Vander Stichele and promptly
had a hard-drive crash. i'm sure this patch has bit-rotted since, but i've
created this bug to 1) try to get a copy of the old patch, 2) to get help
in making it work again and 3) get it commited.

Original Patch.  Step one complete.

marking patch obsolete because it doesn't apply anymore.  additionally, I don't
personally like the idea of hoverplay.	it's irritating.

Thanks for your bug report and your efforts Alex! However, Alex Larsson said he
doesn't like to have GStreamer code in Nautilus, since GStreamer may nastily
crash Nautilus if a particular element isn't installed. He wants to keep
possible instabilities out of Nautilus processes, so he wants to have this in a
spawned extra process, similar to our current preview caps.
Bug 11511 has a similar patch, so I'm marking this as a dup.

*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 111511 ***
Comment 6 Alex Graveley 2005-10-13 03:10:49 UTC
It isn't a duplicate.  111511 is about using gstramer to play audio.  Hoverplay
is inline video preview playing.  Closing WONTFIX which is more accurate.
