Description sparfeld 2009-06-11 15:24:27 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 4.2.90)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

When running dragon player with enabled dektop effects, it shows only a black box while I can hear the audio. I changed .config/kde.org/Phonon-Xine.xine.conf and set the video.driver option to xshm (like in .xine/config) but it seems that this setting is completely ignored and dragon player still shows only the black box while playing the audio.

I use the Xrender method for the effects.

I excpect that dragon player shows the video when setting video.driver:xshm in .config/kde.org/Phonon-Xine.xine.conf.

Phonon-Xine forces the use of XCB, so if the video output doesn't support XCB, it can't be used.

I would suggest fixing Xv in your X.org configuration, or filing a feature request with Xine for XCB support in XSHM.

But non-XCB video output is not going to happen in Phonon-Xine, unfortunately.
