Description homeless 2004-12-29 22:46:38 UTC 
When Totem loads the volume slider is at 100%.
This makes the slider looks bad (see this screenshot:
http://ronald.bitfreak.net/priv/subs2.jpg).

It would be nice if totem could remember the last volume position or make the
default to 75% for example.
Comment 1 Bastien Nocera 2004-12-30 20:04:36 UTC 
This volume slider problem is a bug in the theme engine, not in Totem.

However, GStreamer should save the volume in /apps/totem/volume itself. (Ronald,
I didn't want to add a GConf dependency myself).
Comment 2 Ronald Bultje 2005-01-01 16:03:17 UTC 
Ok, I'm on it. Somewhat related maybe, what settings should the backend save
itself? Is vlume the only one, or are there also others (e.g. network speed,
speaker setup, ...)?
Comment 3 Bastien Nocera 2005-01-02 22:58:38 UTC 
Right now, there's no clear separations between what should be saved by the
backend, and what should be saved by the application. Let's try to clarify it then.

Should be saved by the backend:
- audio-out type
- TV-out type
- the brightness/contrast/etc. settings
- the connection speed
- the visualisation plugin and size used (?)

The volume probably shouldn't be saved by the backend, I'll fix that soon.

Hopefully, for GNOME 2.12, we could move some of those preferences to the
appropriate capplet in the control-center.

        * src/bacon-video-widget-xine.c: (setup_config_stream):
        * src/totem.c: (totem_action_exit), (video_widget_create): save
        the volume from the front-end, not the backend
Comment 5 Ronald Bultje 2005-01-06 11:44:06 UTC 
All the above are saved now. Can this be closed now?
Comment 6 Ronald Bultje 2005-01-06 11:53:22 UTC 
OK, so updates in gconf-editor aren't taken into account yet. Will fix later.
Comment 7 Christoph Burghardt 2006-03-10 13:39:29 UTC 
Updates from gconf-editor are instant-applied to my totem (e.g. /apps/totem/repeat) so i guess, this last issue is fixed as well adn the bug should be closed.
Comment 8 Bastien Nocera 2008-08-22 17:04:38 UTC 
Should have been closed already.
