when vlc goes fullscreen panels don't disappear in KDE 4.3.3

[ivanich]

After i upgraded to kde 4.3.3 vlc-1.0.3(2) fullscreen doesn't cover the panels anymore. The fullscreen window resizes to the available space on the screen keeping the
panels visible.

Vlc-1.1.0-git works fine with fullscreen but it has problems with sound.When I switch files in playlist, sometimes I get no sound and messages in console like this:

Your sound problem in VLC 1.1 is probably due to a known bug in alsa-lib, which is fixed in the alsa-lib git repository (v1.0.21a-15-g8264b2f).

[Rémi Denis-Courmont]

VLC does request fullscreen mode from the window manager, but then it reparents.
However KWin clears the fullscreen flag when the window is reparented.

I don't have KDE 4.3.3 to check currently, but it should be fixed in VLC 1.0.3-16-g064eca7.

[ivanich]

it should be fixed in VLC 1.0.3-16-g064eca7.

Unfortunately, this does not work with git version from branch: 1.0-bugfix

If you could please tell us non-developers how to translate the string "1.0.3-16-g064eca7" to a specific git commit.

That would be because I failed to push my changes . The correct version is 1.0.3-30-geb31e0f...

[alienbob]

I used that git commit (I still see no correlation between the commit I found in 1.0-debug and "1.0.3-30-geb31e0f" so I hope you will enlighten me how you arrive at that hash value) to patch my vlc-1.0.3 package for Slackware and indeed it fixed the fullscreen issue I was experiencing in KDE 4.3.3.

Code: Select all

git format-patch 1.0.3..origin/1.0-bugfix

You will need to take patches 29 and 30 into your package. While you're at it, you probably should take patches 1, 13 and 15 too.

Same problem on Kubuntu Karmic & vlc 1.0.2.
Upgrading to vlc 1.0.3 from http://launchpad.net/~c-korn/+archive/vlc didn't solve the problem.
This pach will be applied to newer vlc-1.0.x branches or only to vlc-1.1?

[Rémi Denis-Courmont]

This fix is only in 1.0-bugfix. The bug does not affect 1.1 in the first place.
