Note that I don't use vdr-xine, but this has happened when watching a DVD through xine.

Re: [Freevo-devel] xine framebuffer issues..
I've seen the same problem. What (I think) is happening is that Xine stops responding, so the childapp autokills the process. Unlike mplayer, xine doesn't release the screen when killed (because it uses the framebuffer, rather than mga_vid on my system) So it's a combination of xine, and a childapp reaper which is perhaps a little too eager.

[Freevo-devel] xine framebuffer issues..
Hello devel people.. Can one of you offer us some help on the user list? I can repost the problem if needs be. We have found an issue whereby why xine is run as a childapp (line xine.py or vdr-xine) we can regularly reproduce an issue which locks freevo. In X it will lock the session completely, in fb mode it will simply lock the display. Freevo will work in the background.. If you can blindly find your way through the menu, you can load an mplayer video and exit, this will unlock the fb. Anyone aboe to help us troubleshoot the cause? The thread is "unable to use the xine/vdr-xine plugin.." on freevo-users Mick PS, running from CL works fine in all cases, so I suspect the issue is our method of re-starting freevo display not xine itself.. --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: IT Product Guide on ITManagersJournal Use IT products in your business?
