Just to explain the practical relevance, the only situation I could really think of where you would want to have multiple video streams playing at once in VLC is when you want to play multiple angles that were recorded of the same event at the same time.
I discovered VLC did this by accident when combining a video that didn't have its original sound due to the copyrights being blocked by YouTube with a different video that did have sound. Instead of just playing one video stream in the main window, a second window opened with the video stream that started late. If you don't care about synchronization and resizing videos independently in the player, there would be no reason to do this. A home security system with multiple camera views, for example, could either combine videos into one or or just record them separately, and probably wouldn't be using VLC for live streaming of different angles. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1440254 Title: Recent update broke XVideo/XCB output for h264 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vlc/+bug/1440254/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
