I use kaffeine to record films from Astra 1, 2 and 3, FTA as well as encoded. The system is on the attic, I start a desktop with e.g, vncserver :10 I then connect remotely with vncviewer from tigervnc package. the vncserver runs a kde4 desktop. I start kaffeine, which works fine. However, Kaffeine does not display any video when started on this virtual desktop. Not from live TV, but also not from mpg or avi from disk. If using x11vnc, serving the actual hardware desktop, everything works fine. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. start vncserver 2. connect with vncviewer from remote system 3. start kaffeine from konsole window and try to watch a video 4. kaffeine is not displaying any video. it suggests it does (play button pressed, stop button active) but the indicator does not progress, and nothing happens. text output from kaffeine in konsole window : X windows bad parameter 3 Actual Results: no video displaying Expected Results: should have seen a video playing Qt :4.8.6 KDE dev platform : 4.14.10 Kaffeine 1.2.2 linux opensuse LEAP 42.1 -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
