It turns out that the problem is the unavaiability of a registered renderer while paring. The renderer is currently used during parsing to create bitmap_info. This seems related to the caching strategy we were discussing with Udo in the process documentation thread.
If we decouple cache creation from parsing the problem would go away. A quicker solution is making sure a renderer is registered *before* parsing, but it doesn't sound clean to me. See task https://savannah.gnu.org/task/index.php?5837 for related topic. --strk; On Mon, Sep 25, 2006 at 12:53:04PM +0200, strk wrote: > I tracked the commit breaking this to a change in gui/Player.cpp > (my own commit). > The change is to avoid calling get_movie_info before opening > the SWF. > > The get_movie_info simply reads the *whole* SWF and returns info > found in the header.
