Public bug reported: Binary package hint: rhythmbox
Using feisty mplayer 2:1.0~rc1-0ubuntu3 rhythmbox 0.9.7.90-0ubuntu1 After dist-upgrade I have to use -vo x11 with mplayer. First I thought it was bug in mplayer, but when the rhythmbox is not playing I can watch movies with default options. Run Rhythmbox and make it play some music $ mplayer -vo xv some.avi # gives: (...) Xv: could not grab port 73 Could not find free Xvideo port - maybe another process is already using it. Close all video applications, and try again. If that does not help, see 'mplayer -vo help' for other (non-xv) video out drivers. Error opening/initializing the selected video_out (-vo) device. Totem shows the message "An error occurred The video output is in use by another application. Please close other video pplications, or select another video output in the Multimedia Systems Selector." When I close Rhythmbox mplayer and totem works normal again. ** Affects: rhythmbox (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- rhythmbox blocks video output https://launchpad.net/bugs/84245 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
