When an in and out point is set and playback is set to "Loop Zone", it takes a LONG time once the clip reaches the end for it to return back to the beginning to play again (about 4 seconds, rather than instantaneous). When it does return to the beginning, the playback is briefly - but noticeably - accelerated before returning to normal. This is with a variety of file formats, codecs and resolutions. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open a clip in Clip Monitor 2. Set an in and out point, creating a selected zone 3. Press ALT+SPACE or click the "loop zone" button to initiate loop playback Actual Results: It takes about 4+ seconds once the clip reaches the end for it to return back to the beginning to play again. When it does return to the beginning, the playback is briefly - but noticeably - accelerated before returning to normal. Occasionally, it will even pause playback at the end with a buzzing sound coming out of the speakers. Expected Results: To playback the selected zone repeatedly, instantly returning to the beginning to play again without issues or variation in playback speed. Testing Kdenlive 15.04.0 on Kubuntu 15.04 beta 2 pre-release, with KDE Plasma 5.3 via ppa. PPA's used: ppa:sunab/kdenlive-svn, and ppa:kubuntu-ppa/beta
This happens on my system, too. Set segment to play in clip monitor, and then click on loop segment. Result is exactly as described. Long pause at end of segment, then glitching when finally starts playing again.
same here.
With the new Kdenlive 15.08 release, the Loop Zone Playback now doesn't work at all. Instead, it plays through the selected zone as if it isn't even there. Confirmed bug in 15.08 on Kubuntu 15.04 w/ KDE Plasma 5.3.2 via backports ppa.
Being that this is also happening in the 15.09.0 version on Kubuntu 15.10 beta, I figured updating this bug's details would be appropriate. I'm not sure if that's breaking protocol and it's best to report a new bug for the updated version. Somebody stop me if this is the case. :)
A correction from the initial bug: the updated title says it all: after setting the in and out points and clicking to get to the "Loop Zone' option, the monitor starts playback at the in point, plays to the out point, then stops. Happens on both monitors.
This bug is still present in Kdenlive 15.11.80. Updating bug title to reflect this.
