Hi all, I built a gtk+ on dfb app which displays its contents on the primary layer, and I hacked mplayer to display video on an overlay layer of my cle266. The directfb was compiled with multi-app core. I can successfully run the two simultaneously in two different processes (I run mplayer from the console and run the gtk+ app from a telnet'd session).
But then I want to combine to two into one program. I fork a child and call mplayer by execlp while the parent doing the gtk+ stuff. In this way, mplayer just wipes a part of my screen, where the gtk+ stuff is running, but doesn't show any video. I can hear the audio, meaning that it is actually playing the media file. So, am I wrong in forking and execlp'ing this way? Does anyone know how to invoke mplayer from another dfb app? Or am I forced to run the two separately, like using a shell script?
