Version: 2.0 (using 4.1.1 (KDE 4.1.1), Debian packages) Compiler: cc OS: Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.26-5.slh.4-sidux-amd64 Scrolling forward or backward in dragonplayer is barely functional, as it seems to jump back often and is very jerky. Please compare scrolling forward in mplayer and dragonplayer: mplayer always jumps by 10 seconds by key press, dragonplayer is completely unpredictible and sometimes does not jump at all or even jumps backward a small amount if you want to scroll forward! It is currently impossible to scroll forward by repeatedly pressing the forward key in a longer video. Tested with DVDs and with AVI files.
dragonplayer jumps of the 10% of the lenght of the file
SVN commit 889044 by flocati: BUG:171405 M +23 -12 mainWindow.cpp M +30 -12 videoWindow.cpp M +4 -2 videoWindow.h WebSVN link: http://websvn.kde.org/?view=rev&revision=889044
I am sorry, but the issue is not fixed in KDE4.2.2 with dragon player 2.0. I still experience hangs / jerks (even backwards) when scrolling with the left and right keys. I am using the xine backend to phonon on Debian unstable. Please compare with smplayer / mplayer / xine / kaffeine who work much smoother. The problem occurs with avi files as well as DVDs.
Can you please describe more exactly what happens? I've tested trunk and couldn't experience it. Actually, the only thing I've noticed that's different from mplayer (besides the seek times) is that Dragon pauses the video before seeking, which gives the impression of a "jerk". Currently if you press left or right it jumps 5 seconds backwards or forwards. If you press page up and page down it seeks forward or backward 10% of the length of the video.
Well, do you get smooth forward scrolling if you keep pressing (continously) the left and right key? For me the scrolling is stuttering, as it even jumps back (to the last keyframe?) a short period occasionally.
I see exactly the same problem in KDE 4.3, with the Left and Right keys (+/- 5 seconds) "stuttering" and sometimes even going backwards on Right keypress. Also, the + and - keys (+/- 10 seconds) do not work. The problem with +/- 10 seconds is fixed by revision 1043620 for KDE 4.4. The fix is also referenced in bug #189626#c3, it would be nice if you could backport it for KDE 4.3.4. The fact that +/- 10 seconds works (with the fix) and that +/- 5 seconds sometimes does not, even if they do the same relativeSeek() call, leads me to think that this is not a problem in dragon player, but simply that seeking too small intervals could be inherently unreliable with some file types. It should be noted that other players I tried do not show the problem, but maybe that's because they move 10 seconds or more on Right/Left keypresses.
still a problem with recent versions of dragon/phonon?
