Description Martin Steigerwald 2009-08-13 22:04:39 UTC
Version:            (using KDE 4.3.0)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages

Steps to reproduce:
- select a video file
- press play in the preview area in the information panel
- the movie starts playing I head the sound, but I do not see the video

I am using the xine phonon backend. I tried with different video formats including mpg files from a DVD.

This might be related to bug #203759 where dragonplayer doesn't show videos when not in full screen mode. AFAIR this didn't happen with KDE 4.3 RC2 debian packages. For sure it worked with KDE 4.2.4 debian packages.

I am using these debian packages:

I didn't report this against the mplayerthumb thing, cause I was not sure whether that means the preview area in the information plane. I thought it might mean thumbnails in icons for video files. Especially as mplayerthumb also is in Konqueror. Feel free to reassign if necessary.
