GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 342552
Lots of visial artifacts while playing audio files
Last modified: 2006-05-24 08:23:02 UTC
Please describe the problem: I am using Totem to play an mp3 file. The video window has many artifacts during window interaction. Steps to reproduce: 1. In preferences - set to show video effects during audio playback. Chose Goom - What a goom. 2. Open a mp3 file with Totem. 3. Try some fun with the window elements -menus, sliders, bars. Actual results: There are a lot of artifacts. Expected results: Not that many artifacts. Does this happen every time? Yes Other information: I am attaching a byzanz gif screen capture.
Created attachment 65985 [details] Byzanz gif creen capture Notice that the covering with gnome-terminal forces a redraw of the video window and artifacts are gone.
I am very sorry - part of the information is not correct! What is set in preferences is a visual effect to be shown, but no visual effect has been chosen. This happened on a FedoraCore5 box with an up to date Totem - if this happens to be a configuration problem. The ~/.gconf/apps/totem/%gconf.xml contains: <?xml version="1.0"?> <gconf> <entry name="contrast" mtime="1148287708" type="int" value="32767"> </entry> <entry name="brightness" mtime="1148287708" type="int" value="56012"> </entry> <entry name="volume" mtime="1148287482" type="int" value="66"> </entry> <entry name="window_h" mtime="1148287482" type="int" value="292"> </entry> <entry name="window_w" mtime="1148287482" type="int" value="301"> </entry> <entry name="show_vfx" mtime="1148287708" type="bool" value="true"> </entry> <entry name="audio_output_type" mtime="1148287708" type="int" value="0"> </entry> </gconf> So show_vfx is set to yes, but no effect is showing. If I set the effect to Goom actually - the problem goes away.
Are you using the GStreamer or xine-lib backend?
Definately gstreamer. ldd /usr/bin/totrm shows gstreamer xine is not installed at all.
