Playing video on Sugar startup with VMETA
We're trying to make XO-1.75s play quality video on Sugar startup. Our solution involves installing the VMETA software on 12.1.0 and then loading the video in Totem using the Welcome activity hook in Sugar. As this is for marketing/instructional purposes, we need the process to be really slick: 1. XO loads with fully graphical boot animation (no console) 2. video loads and plays, with no chrome (toolbars, sidebars, etc.), high quality, full frame rate and complete A/V sync 3. Sugar loads as normal What we've found is that Totem segfaults when invoked with --fullscreen. It doesn't crash when loaded in a window, but there's so much chrome that it looks silly. Even a simpler gstreamer-based player, gst123, crashes soon after startup. I'm of the understanding that we need to be using a gstreamer player. Is there anything that we can do to improve our present situation?

Re: Query regarding "xorg-x11-drv-dove" package, on XO-4
Thanks for the report! Jon Nettlelton is working on that particular driver, and there was a big overhaul that landed in OS29. Could you create a ticket on dev.laptop.org, against 13.1.0? This has nothing to do with Sugar itself... thanks! m On Thu, Feb 21, 2013 at 12:07 PM, Ajay Garg wrote: > Hi all. > > This is in relation to ticket http://bugs.sugarlabs.org/ticket/4438 > Is there a way to know what are the changes between version-8 (on XO-4 > build 30) and version-7 (on XO-4 build 21) for xorg-x11-drv-dove-0.3.5? > > > > Regards, > > Ajay Garg > Dextrose Developer > Activity Central: http://activitycentral.com > ___ > Devel mailing list > Devel@lists.laptop.org > http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel > -- martin.langh...@gmail.com mar...@laptop.org -- Software Architect - OLPC - ask interesting questions - don't get distracted with shiny stuff - working code first - http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Martinlanghoff ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel

Hi all. This is in relation to ticket http://bugs.sugarlabs.org/ticket/4438 Is there a way to know what are the changes between version-8 (on XO-4 build 30) and version-7 (on XO-4 build 21) for xorg-x11-drv-dove-0.3.5?

It's command line, any work for any x86 apps to run through it would need to be done.
