For example, tell the user: I can not use Xv to display video The program (name, pid) is using it. Stop that program, or change the display mode in Preferences|Playback Or if we really want to serve the alternatives on a silver platter, provide two buttons: [kill (program)] [switch to X11] While we're at it, we could use a kill artsd button, too... ;-) -- Herman Robak ___ Cinelerra mailing list Cinelerra@skolelinux.no https://init.linpro.no/mailman/skolelinux.no/listinfo/cinelerra
Re: [CinCVS] video playback stops working
do a survey of graphics cards and X11 and drivers version that make this happen... this cannot be (only) cinelerra's bug. bye andraz On Thu, 2006-08-17 at 09:21 +0200, Marcin Kostur wrote: ffplay unlocks xv too - is faster than kino ;-) mk ___ Cinelerra mailing list Cinelerra@skolelinux.no https://init.linpro.no/mailman/skolelinux.no/listinfo/cinelerra ___ Cinelerra mailing list Cinelerra@skolelinux.no https://init.linpro.no/mailman/skolelinux.no/listinfo/cinelerra

Re: [CinCVS] video playback stops working
For further information, I'm using a pair of nvidia cards with the nv driver, in xcinerama. Switching the video ouput driver to x11 from x11/xv has made the problem go away for the time being without issue. I'll try the ffmpeg-to-unstick xv trick at some point, but right now the x11 driver is *working for me* Mack On Thu, 2006-08-17 at 10:21 +0200, Marcin Kostur wrote: ATI - onboard i think X200 with propertiary drivers the same was on ATI -Radeon (cant remember which one) Nvidia with nv driver (and c1.22) - no problem the best Marcin ___ Cinelerra mailing list Cinelerra@skolelinux.no https://init.linpro.no/mailman/skolelinux.no/listinfo/cinelerra ___ Cinelerra mailing list Cinelerra@skolelinux.no https://init.linpro.no/mailman/skolelinux.no/listinfo/cinelerra
[CinCVS] video playback stops working
I have repeated occasions of the video playback in both Viewer and Compositor stopping entirely. When this happens, Everything appears to behave normally, audio plays fine and the timeline window and other indicators of playback are updated normally. No unusual console messages are displayed (just some usual things about alsa . . .) Restarting cinelerra repeatedly could not provoke playback. Rebooting the computer made behavior normal again. I suspect a simple X restart would have sufficed, and I'll check the next time i see this behavior. Any related experiences/ideas? thx, Mack ___ Cinelerra mailing list Cinelerra@skolelinux.no https://init.linpro.no/mailman/skolelinux.no/listinfo/cinelerra
Re: [CinCVS] video playback stops working
More info on that: my problem is seems to be triggered by running another video application while cinelerra is running, such as mplayer or vlc. I thought it was caused by rendering initially, but it was when I watched the rendered output in a player. It's avoided by closing cinalerra before opening mplayer/vlc/other video playback applications. Restarting X11 unjams the bug.

A reboot also solved my problem. I wrote about this in the Build Error thread about revision 839.

Mack There was something similar some times ago, I think I remember it had to do with xvideo and mplayer. The solution was closing mplayer and cinelerra, play a video in kino (with xvideo enabled in the preferences) and then you can reopen Cinelerra, without the need to reboot. If I still remember correctly kino exits cleanly from using xvideo and then it's again usable by Cinelerra. Leo __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Re: [CinCVS] video playback stops working
Not sure how xvideo works, but it would be cool to have a program similar to how lsof lists open devices, that lists what programs are using xvideo (however it works) Along that note, another rant: A lot of the new GUI's when you try to eject a device that is being used by a program just say cannot eject, a program is using it I would have thought a grep through lsof could actually advise the user what programs where using the device...
