Description Charles Samuels 2003-03-09 01:33:05 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE Devel)
Compiler:          gcc 3.2.1 
OS:          Linux

I have two noatuns/kaboodles running, if I pause one, both pause.  Only one displays video.

I would insult the xine developers here, but, nah ;)

Are you sure this isn't an Xv limitation?  Some hardware pauses existing streams 
when new streams start.
Comment 2 Neil Stevens 2003-03-12 18:53:53 UTC 
It's not even an Xv limitation.  I can play three videos at once using xine 
0.9.13, Kaboodle and xine_artsplugin from KDE_3_1_BRANCH. 
 
Must be the bug reporter's hardware and/or drivers at fault.
Comment 3 Charles Samuels 2003-03-12 20:47:25 UTC 
1) My hardware has 33 Xv ports (!) 
2) I looked at the xine code 
3) it changed between xine 0.9.13 and the 1.0 betas 
4) I can run two xines and it works

Xine 0.9.13 on my system falls back to XShm though for the second and any 
other concurrently playing videos. Worse, it writes the XShm setting to the 
config file so I have to start xine -VXv manually to reset the thing to Xv 
again.

SuSE 7.1 system, XFree 4.2 rpms for SuSE, xine is the only relevant 
self-compiled component.

I haven't tried the arts plugin though - I'm talking 'pure' xine if that makes 
a difference.
Comment 5 Neil Stevens 2003-03-12 21:04:45 UTC 
It plays subsequent videos non-Xv here, too, but it does play the videos.  So the bug 
as reported is not existant here.

This is not a duplicate!

The bug I reported was a flaw in the Xine API, while this is an Xv hardware 
limitation.
Comment 8 George Goldberg 2008-02-15 04:55:54 UTC 
Since Phonon has replaced arts for KDE4, this bug shouldn't be relevant any more.
