Re: [CinCV] Cinelerra won't stop play once started
Hello Matthew Just a quote from cinelerra/audioalsa.C : // Interrupts the playback but may not have caused snd_pcm_writei to exit. // With some soundcards it causes snd_pcm_writei to freeze for a few seconds. if(!device-out_config-interrupt_workaround) snd_pcm_drop(get_output()); This option is a workaround, not a normal 'feature'.

Re: [CinCV] Cinelerra won't stop play once started
Another little quirk If starting a new project, load your first piece of video as create new resources and save as yourprojectname.xml Then make your clip or drag it onto the timeline. That seemed to resolve the endless loop cycle for me. Also only load one file at a time as create new resources. It always causes me problems when loading multiple large files.

[CinCV] Cinelerra won't stop play once started
Whether I start playing a clip in the trim, compositor, or timeline windows, once play starts, I can't stop it. The playhead, if that's the right term, just advances and andvances right through all the clips and on into black - if I hit the stop key, the video will stop playing and freeze wherever it is, but the playhead just keeps advancing. At that poing, I can't access any menu items and I have to force Cinelerra to stop from a terminal prompt. I feel like I must have done something, but I can't figure out what. It was working fine for most of Sunday, and suddenly started exhibiting this behavior. This is a checkout from git from about a week ago compiled and running on Fedora 10. It worked quite well before this happenned. I was editing clips from a Nikon D90 DSLR camera without any issues. I was able to import the clips right into Cinelerra and start editing them without any conversions and then export a finished clip in ogg. Does any one know what I might have done to cause this behavior? -- Claude Jones Brunswick, MD, USA
