xv is also messy when moving windows under compiz and i810... maybe that is a deeper issue.
The *real* solution proposed is to use gl instead of xv to play videos while the intel driver is buggy. Most of the popular players support that.I don't have any experience with xine, but mplayer have gl video output support (check on gmpalyer, the video output preferences... i used to use gl2 with textures and it used to work like a charm) :) I proposed gstreamer because totem-gstreamer is default on ubuntu, and it took me a while to figure that (glimagesink does not show on the video output combo. I had to type it myself). Since most of the users play videos fullscreen, or do not change window positions during playback (can't watch anything on a moving window! lol), I guess that would be a good default solution... if the moving windows issue becomes too problematic, then the only solution, other than fixing the intel driver, would be disabling compiz-fusion by default... -- totem crashes with 'BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)' when using compiz and xserver-xorg-video-intel driver https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/111257 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
