(*** This bug was imported into bugs.kde.org ***) Package: noatun Version: 1.2.0 (using KDE 2.2.1 ) Severity: wishlist Installed from: Mandrake Linux Vitamin Compiler: gcc version 2.96 20000731 (Mandrake Linux 8.1 2.96-0.62mdk) OS: Linux (i686) release 2.4.8-26mdk OS/Compiler notes: When you have playback set to loop and when you right-click to invoke full-screen mode the video should remain full-screen as it continues to loop rather than collapsing back to normal size when it reaches the end of the file the first time. Maybe something you never even thought of. I play a lot of fairly short video clips and it defeats the whole purpose when I have to full-screen them again and again and again.

Coincidentally, this bug applies to Noatun under the new video system.
KDE3, Beta2. I got a playlist with a lot of .mpeg videoclips. Noatun still returns to a normal size window between clips. 1. Add tons of files to a playlist. 2. Start playing. 3. Enter full-screen mode 4. When the clip is finished, 5. Noatun returns to small-window-mode, 6. And the next clip starts playing in small-window mode. 7. Screw Noatun, 8. Load XMMS. Add loads of .mp3 and .mpeg, invoke a nice full-screen vizualiser. 9. The fullscreen vizualiser plays on MP3s, .mpeg video plays fullscreen on videoclips, 10. You never see the desktop while playing, only nice graphics or music videos. Without 8-10, Noatun is as good as useless to me. OK, a single-file-movie can be played in Noatun, but the quallity is really much better in a) mplayer for .mpeg and b) avifile for .avi. (KDE is based on Xine, not my favorite anyway). Also, I had to set the Arts buffer to the minimum and use real-time priority, else the sound/video is hopelessly out of sync in Noatun / Konqueror preview. (And I only use Arts with the KDE applications that require it. XMMS/Xine/Mplayer/whatever allways use ALSA plugins. ALSA is great, personally I'd like to see the whole Arts-thing go away and have Noatun/KDE-multimedia just use Alsa when possible).
I haven't been able to compile kde with video support for the last year so I can't tell but is this bug remaining?
noatun has not been part of the KDE 4 release and is no longer maintained. KDE now offers Dragon as a video player and JuK as a music player. Additionally, other popular KDE players have been ported to KDE 4, such as Amarok or Kaffeine. If this issue is still applicable to KDE 4 applications, please add a comment or file a new report.
