Closing a video window does not stop playback

[z8000783]

Is there any news of progress on this yet?

I notice that it is still broken on 2.2.1 Terry Pratchett.

Thanks

Most people don't care because they use the embedded video playback and/or stop the video via other means. Of the few people who do care, none volunteered to write a patch.

So no progress.

Thanks Rémi.

What code is it written in?

[Rémi Denis-Courmont]

I think you can figure that on your own.

[z8000783]

Just trying to help if I can.

No worries.

Up to version 2.0.8, a video window could be closed via the Close button.

[Rémi Denis-Courmont]

You are really not being helpful.

Hi Rémi,

I'm sorry, I just wanted to share this information for z8000738 so he can compare the code of Version 2.0.8 with the current code.

Yes, I have been using VLC for quite a while and noticed that it stopped working as you said.

Yes, I was wondering what the current status was as the problem did not seem to be fixed with the new release.
