in a few ago i installed new version via updates. It s not be fixed yet. i dont want to use older version for solution.It's still present in 0.9.5
Can you reconsider this decision? If it crashes, the user can just clear the checkbox. Making it not work for everyone using X11 just because some people's machines don't support this option, especially since this seems like a long-running bug, is a bit draconian, no?Yes, it was deactivated on X11 because of some crashes on some machines...
Keep 0.9.3 or help us fixing the issue.
Code: Select all
add_submodule();
set_capability( "vout window", 50 );
set_callbacks( WindowOpen, WindowClose );
It's timing-dependent anyway. Some people never saw it. Some people always see it. Some people sometimes see it.I know (at least, I'm pretty sure) that it won't crash on my system, simply because an older version (I want to say 0.9.3) worked fine with that option enabled, and it did what it was supposed to do.
The VideoLAN project has no formal management, so I would not know. Then again, I pretty much gave up as I don't know Qt4 well enough, and nobody has taken up the bug (#2136).Allow me to request more clarification: is this bug actively being worked on?
I'd be willing to lend a hand (I'm a professional C programmer; have very little C++ experience and no Qt experience), but if people who actually know what they're doing are already working on it, I'd probably just get in the way.
AFAIK, Ubuntu patched 0.9.4 to use the broken embedded video support.Hmmm, video was definitely embedden for me in 0.9.2 and 0.9.4.
And what do you do about those users which cannot use VLC due to that bug?I think it must have been working for several people, hence the strong desire to return to 0.9.3 amongst users.
This makes no sense at all. 0.9.3 has plenty of other bugs including some security issues. If you want the crashy embedded video, do yourself a favor and use VLC 0.9.5 with the one line patch above.I have made contact with C Korn and he is looking into whether he can put 0.9.3 on the repo simultaneously. Fingers crossed!
Look at it from the average user's perspective. The average user installed VLC from an online package repository. He doesn't even have the source code! The average user is not familiar with svn[1], not familiar with c++, and just wants to install something that works. Security patches? Bah. All I see is that it looks and behaves the way I want in 0.9.3 and doesn't in 0.9.5.This makes no sense at all. 0.9.3 has plenty of other bugs including some security issues. If you want the crashy embedded video, do yourself a favor and use VLC 0.9.5 with the one line patch above.
It would be great to ask c-korn to patch 0.9.5 and make it available in the repo, alongside the already available unembedded video version.This makes no sense at all. 0.9.3 has plenty of other bugs including some security issues. If you want the crashy embedded video, do yourself a favor and use VLC 0.9.5 with the one line patch above.I have made contact with C Korn and he is looking into whether he can put 0.9.3 on the repo simultaneously. Fingers crossed!
