VLC fullscreen problem

Hello,
I use VLC to watch videos on my eeePC. I have a up-to-date Arch install with kdemod 4.1.
The player works quite well, but I don't have (and never did) a fullscreen control (i.e. a progress bar when the video is on fullscreen) as shown on vlc homepage. I tried modifying nearly all options in the program and also tried deleting my ~/.config/vlc directory to no avail.
Does anyone have dome insight on this problem?
Thank you!

This is a bug in VLC and QT integration. A rare race condition is corrected in 1.0 (due in ~march). So devs disabled completely the integration. That sucks: if does crash, just uncheck the pref and be it! Now the preference is not consitent.

VLC fullscreen sometimes makes screen stay black after video ends

like the subject says, sometimes the screen just stays black when a video ends while VLC is in fullscreen mode.
I'm using VLC 2.0.8.a-1. I got the laptop in April, just in time for Revision 2013, had the problem more or less from the start, so that's since version 2.0.5 or 2.0.6
So far I haven't found a way to get things back to normal when it happens. I've tried
press f
press ESC
close and reopen lid
switch to console (screen just stays black, even on consoles)
Apparently the only thing I can do is pop up a terminal window via shortcut and reboot.
As far as I can tell /var/log/Xorg.[0,1].log doesn't tell what's going on.
In case it's important, I've only experienced this on my Thinkpad T430, it never happend on my old ASUS laptop or on my desktop pc. An Intel issue maybe? The other two run on nvidia cards, the T430 does have an nvidia card in addition to the on-chip HD 4000 but I don't use it (I'd love to since the DP port is only usable with the nvidia card, haven't been able to make it work with bumblebee yet but that's a different issue).
Any ideas? Which log and config files do you need?

VLC fullscreen mode?

For some reason, VLC locks up if I try to go into fullscreen mode. My screen flashes like it tried to go fullscreen, then does nothing. I can play stuff fine without it, but what's the point?
Anyone had this before?

I found VLC to be exceptionally unstable. I only used it while I figured out a problem I was having with xine-lib but yeah, it was woeful. Now I use self-compiled xine-lib and xine-ui and everything is peachy
But in direct answer, no, I couldn't make it go full screen either. When I tried it just segfaulted.

Xfce4-panel still shown during VLC fullscreen

Hi,
This is a problem I've been having for a while - whenever I switch to fullscreen display in VLC, my XFCE panel remains visible. mplayer on the other hand works just fine.
Does anyone have an idea how to debug this? I've tried unchecking the hardware acceleration option and switching output driver, but neither seems to help

Found few more workarounds to have this by default.
1. To have VLC always on top of your panels, tested in XFCE.
Open VLC and go to menu "Tools" => "Preferences" (or press CTRL+P) then switch to "Video" tab on the left options panel. Check "Always on top" and click "Save" button.
2. Turn off subs by default on MKV files.
Open VLC and go to menu "Tools" => "Preferences" (or press CTRL+P) then under "Show settings" select "All" option. Then select "Video" =>"Subtitles/OSD"and check "On Screen Display" option. This will disable mkv subs by default. If you want to manually turn them on durring video playback simply "Right-Click" mouse button on VLC video and look for "Subtitles" menu.

Vlc pvr problems

I have a sort of complicated problem dealing with user permissions for the pvr device in vlc.
First, some information about my system:
Archlinux Kernel26-2.6.25.6-2-i686
tv-tuner: Hauppauge WinTV-PVR PCI II
vlc version 0.9.8a-4 (the latest version in pacman as of 01-25-09)
As a non-root user, I am able to open a SINGLE tv channel by performing the actions: Open Capture Device..., PVR, and inserting the specific frequency of the channel.
What is puzzling is when I try to change channels. Now, normally I just open up a playlist file with the channels already preset. Basically, every entry in the file looks like this, but with the frequency and channel name changed:
#EXTM3U
#EXTINF:0,2 Channel2
#EXTVLCOPT:pvr-device=/dev/video0
#EXTVLCOPT:pvr-radio-device=/dev/radio0
#EXTVLCOPT:pvr-norm=0
#EXTVLCOPT:pvr-frequency=55250
#EXTVLCOPT:pvr-bitrate=-1
pvr://
If I open the playlist file it opens the first entry, channel 2, and will display channel 2. But when I click another channel in the list I receive this error in xterm:
[00000575] main input error: unsafe option "pvr-device" has been ignored for security reasons
[00000575] main input error: unsafe option "pvr-radio-device" has been ignored for security reasons
[00000575] main input error: unsafe option "pvr-norm" has been ignored for security reasons
[00000575] main input error: unsafe option "pvr-frequency" has been ignored for security reasons
[00000575] main input error: unsafe option "pvr-bitrate" has been ignored for security reasons
[00000577] pvr access error: Failed to write 0 new capture card settings.
...and the panel at the bottom of the main window tells me that I am on another channel, but after the switch it goes back to displaying channel 2.
Obviously, I am able to access the card. But somehow I am not allowed to switch frequencies within the playlist. I have checked the permissions for my user and I am able to access the groups audio and video.
Any suggestions on what to do? Thanks.

Just upgraded to Win 7, and the problem's gone. Must be an XP driver of some sort.

FullScreen problem with MovieClipLoader

Hi and thanks very very much for reading.
My problem is: When I load a .swf via MovieClipLoader in ActionScript 2 -- Stage["fullScreen"] no longer works. I am stuck in "normal" for the Stage.
If I run the loaded SWF without the preloader, then everything works fine and I can get to fullscreen mode. So it seems the problem has to do with the preloader.
I am using loadMovieNum("FSTest.swf",0) to bring the loaded clip to Root level. Thought that would solve my problem but it doesn't.
Here is some test code that demonstrates my problem. You can see it run at: http://www.tommygameco.com/TestLoader.html
TESTLOADER.FLA: (preloader)
var container:MovieClip = this.createEmptyMovieClip("container", this.getNextHighestDepth());
var FS_mc:MovieClip = container.createEmptyMovieClip("FSClip", container.getNextHighestDepth());
var mcLoader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
var listener:Object = new Object();
var interval:Object = new Object();
listener.onLoadInit = function() {
// make loaded movie _root
loadMovieNum("FSTest.swf",0);
mcLoader.addListener(listener);
mcLoader.loadClip("FSTest.swf", FS_mc);
stop();
FSTEST.FLA: (Loaded Movie)
fsbutton.onRelease = function() {
Stage["displayState"]="fullScreen";
stageState.text = Stage["displayState"];
Thanks again!! Any Clues are greatly appreciated!!!
Tom

Hi,
Problem was in the publish settings --- My loaded clip was set for "allow full screen" under publish options (file Menu, HTML Tab). However the Pre-loader was not!! Fixing that fixes the problem.
Best Regards,
Tom

VLC audio problems on T400 - DPC Latency Issue?

Hi Folks,
When I try to use VLC player to play any video on my T400, I get audio stutters and other strange effects. I'm wondering if it might have to do with all the audio DPC Latency issues this model has had. Does anyone else have these issues? Windows media player seems to work just fine, by the way. DPC Latency is high when either program is playing, but remains high when VLC has paused playback (whereas windows media player doesn't induce high DPC Latency when paused).
I've tried tweaking the buffer of VLC player, and a million other things, but nothing seems to help. Hence my suspicion of DPC Latency issues.
Thanks,
Allie

Fullscreen problem!

I can't get fullscreen to work on Hulu.com's Adobe Flash
Player 9.
In both IE and Firefox I get this when I go full-screen
(regardless of standard res or 420p)
http://img186.imageshack.us/img186/2200/fullscreenii9.jpg
I have the latest ATI drivers (8.3, running on HD 2900 Pro)
and Vista. Does anyone know of a solution to this?
I really want to use fullscreen for watching shows/movies
with this player, and have had no problem with other players such
as DivX.

Okay, this is getting ridiculous. What kind of a company
doesn't pay attention to such a serious bug in such a widespread
product?
This issue needs to be looked at immediately - many people
simply have no fullscreen on their favorite movie/video sites!
-->edit<--
I have been able to circumvent the issue by going to
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14157
, grabbing the uninstall_flash_player.exe file, running it, and
installing the older 9r47 release from the FP9 Debug package (
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14266)
including all older FP9 versions. The fullscreen works with this
old release, but does not with the latest FP9 version (115).
-->edit 2<--
HD and high resolution (480p) do not work with the older
version... this is not satisfactory. When can we expect 115 to be
fixed?

Youtube fullscreen problems.

when i press full screen button on youtube, it goes to full screen but covers odd dimentions. it doesn't cover the whole screen and leaves the uncovered video display area on the screen blanked out. however the buttons to exit full screen when in full screen lighs up when i go to the bottom right corner where the full screen button normally is. so i think it is just display problems. i can clcik in the bottom right corner and i will come out of fullscreen but it doen't show the button to exit full screen on the bottom right corner. it shows it according to its weird dimentions that it does sometimes that display corner could be in the middle of the screen when in full screen and the ret of the screen is blanked out. i really need help!!!!!!

From the top 10,000 programmers in the world, be sure that a HUGE amount of them use linux. Less flash applications created by them, more HTML5 applications created by them.
Personally, for me, flash is the last choice to program something (it made the bad impression already, for too long, no fix possible) but still many webpages in the world use Flash for small games, etc... And that works for me like a ****.
Try a week with your flash on ubuntu, like me, adobe. You won't be surprised.
Have you tried our Flash Player 11 RC build on labs out? If not, please give it a try and let us know what you think. If you find specific issues, please feel free to document them as new bugs over at bugbase.aodbe.com.

Video Fullscreen problem

I have done a Video chat application. I have added full screen options to all videos.My problem is on clicking the Fullscreen button, the Application will be in Fullscreen Mode not the video. How to solve this. Code is shown below
In my Videopod component i have given like this
private function fullScreen() :void

                } else {
                    // do stuff for normal screen mode

Had the same issue and found sth that worked for me on chrome.
It seems like google has developed its own flash player (pepper flash) rather then using the original adobe one. Disabling the pepper flash player and installing/enabling the adobe one seems to fix the issue.
Since the issue occured to me on all browsers except opera before there might be a similar fix for Safari.
heres where i found this and how to fix it:

Fox TV Move Player fullscreen problem

I installed Snow Leopard on my media machine (Mac Mini Core Duo) with all of the updates as of this posting. I installed Fox TV's Move Media Player when prompted. Otherwise this is a stock machine with only Firefox dragged onto my desktop for testing this problem.
When I put the player into fullscreen mode black boxes flash on the screen where ever the flash player had windows in the browser window. By moving the browser around and then switching into fullscreen mode I can change the position of the boxes.
This problem did not occur using Leopard. The problem occurs with Firefox and Safari.

Corey,
Which browser are you using?
I went to the link Klaus1 provided and tried my best to click where it says: FAQ's and it won't let me. However, I did a View Source to make sure which plug in it requires, and it does say Flash version 9.
Corey... do this... in Safari click where it says Help in the Menu then click Installed Plug-ins. When the list populates, press Command + F on your keyboard. That will prompt a search field top right just under your Bookmarks. Type in Shockwave Flash and see what the response is. It should say:
Shockwave Flash 9.0 r124 — from file “Flash Player.plugin”.
If you still can't view video on FOX or ABC, try UNinstalling the application, here are the instructions to do so: http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14157&sliceId=2
Make sure whenever you install or uninstall software, that all your other open applications are closed.
Then use this link that Klaus1 provided and reinstall:

Got my fingers crossed!

Vlc fullscreen slow with compiz, works well in ubuntu

This is the first time i've ever installed archlinux (well 2 days ago) the only problem i have is that vlc when put to full screen has extremely slow video playback with compiz running. it works at normal speed with x11 output, but as we all know it looks terrible. i have a intel gma950, i would have contributed it to my card being slow but vlc+compiz work fine in ubuntu. this exact same problem is what made be switch away from fedora9.
please if anyone has any idea how this can be fixed i will be grateful times infinity

Welcome to the Arch experience.
To me, the problem seems to be coming from compiz. It's all about configurations: compiz configurations, xorg.conf, etc..
Just a shot in the dark, but have you tried comparing these configurations between Arch and Ubuntu?

Java Fullscreen problems

Hi, i worked a bit with BufferStrategy and wanted to make a fullscreen application. So, everything was ok. As a test i made an animation with a loop in which i moved some objects over the screen. It worked. In the loop i let update the screen every 10ms. Then i wanted to make objects controllable by the "user". So i implemented Runnable and KeyListener to my "Playground". In run i let update the screen every 50ms and the position of the objects is changeable by pressing a key. But always when i wanted to start the application threaded i got that error:

                    System.out.println(e.toString());
            closeWindow();
        }In principle nothing else as my loop i created the animation before with. But still it doesn�t work.

Safari Fullscreen Problem

Hi there
currently working on this site:
http://berndkuehl.com/indexSavge.html
When using Safari on Windows XP and switching to Fullscreen the menu at top appears.
When using Safari or Firefox on MACOSX 10.6.3 or 10.4.11 and switching to Fullscreen there, menu is not showing but a big black part appears at the top.
Newest FlashPlayer installed of course.
How can that be? Is there a line of html-code missing for MAC-platform?
Knowledge very much appreciated, Thanks for Feedback!
Bernd

Almost forgot.. I see the menu in Safari 4.0.5 / Mac OS X 10.6.3 and on my iBookG4 running 10.4.11 it's fine too in full screen mode. Sometimes it takes "hovering" over a menu in order for it to appear in full screen mode on Safari but no problem here either way. Don't know if that helps you any.
Also, there's nowhere on the page to "View Source" to get a look at the HTML code. This is on a blog? http://www.produced-by-savage.de/ If you have problems with your code, contact them.

ITunes Visualizer fullscreen problem

Recently i was messing around with my itunes visualizer when it suddenly went into full screen mode. I havent been able to switch it back to the normal mode and found no help in the 'help' bar. Does anybody have any knowledge of what to do in this situation? thanks

I ended up contacting AppleCare through the Chat agent and after a few misses, he instructed me to do an archive and install and presto - the problem is gone. I guess I had a corrupted installation from the factory.....
