Dear Cinelerra, I compiled the latest version of Cinelerra-CV on my linux system recently. I noticed that at times I was unable to play video in the Viewer or Compositor windows. I found others had reported similar problems that were related in some way to mplayer resetting certain X11-XV parameters that prevented cinelerra from playing video, and I confirmed mplayer was doing the same on my system.
I used the xvattr program to compare the XV-X11 parameters before and after running mplayer. One variable was changed: XV_AUTOPAINT_COLORKEY The fix_X11-XV script below can be run to reset this value and allow cinelerra to play video again. It requires that xvattr be installed. Thank you for cinelerra. I hope this is helpful to others. -- E.J. Neafsey #!/bin/bash # fix_X11-XV.sh uses xvattr to reset XV_AUTOPAINT_COLORKEY # so cinelerra viewer and compositor windows play video ### xvattr -a XV_AUTOPAINT_COLORKEY -v 1 _______________________________________________ Cinelerra mailing list [email protected] https://init.linpro.no/mailman/skolelinux.no/listinfo/cinelerra
