GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 170695
totem should hide mouse cursor in fullscreen mode

Hi, when viewing a video with totem (1.0, gstreamer backend) in fullscreen mode it would be nice if the mouse cursor is hided after some time when the user doesn't move it. at least mplayer does it and this is atm the only reason why i prefer mplayer. Bye
This is already the case with the xine-lib backend, so I guess it's a GStreamer specific bug.
well it seems to work now... but only when I changed the windowsize by hand... when i choose "fit window to movie" the mouse cursor doesn't hide anymore
hmm, that isn't exactly right... the cursor only seems to hide when the window size is changed more than a bit before switching to fullscreen mode... very interesting behaviour ;)
This is semi-fixed now. If you put the mouse on the actual video area, it'll disappear. However, if you put your mouse in the black area below, it doesn't. I don't know why...
I guess that's because the window that playbin creates is smaller than the whole widget. So the whole widget receives the signal, but only your embed GdkWindow does for playbin.
I was wondering something. Isn't it possible to stretch the playbin-window fullscreen? That will fix this bug, but it also gives the opportunity to put subtitles lower on the screen. Now, when you have an widescreen movie with subtitles, the subtitles are IN the movie. If the playbin could be stretched fullscreen, it could be possible to place the subtitles lower on the screen (in the black area).
Yes, possibly, that'd be nice.
video sinks are not receiving frames with black borders. If one wants to add subtitles in black borders you can just use videobox to draw borders and render the subtitles in those borders. Nothing to do with the window really. As to the pointer not disappearing in the black border i'll look into it.
Fixed in CVS HEAD. Applying the set_show_cursor to the widget's window instead of the video window.
