Last week I had a problem with MPlayer using the option “-wid” while doing some test applications: every time that the video came back from fullscreen (while playing on a given window) it crashed.<\/p>\n

After some<\/strike> a lot of tests with the help of Leonardo Sobral, we discovered that Maemo’s Xv had a problem with X errors. Following some info on the maemo-dev list<\/a> we reached a thread where Daniel Stone (Nokia) and Siarhei Siamashka (MPlayer for Maemo) were having a discussion about bugs on Xv and video output in general.<\/p>\n

Daniel Stone gave us a tip of ignoring X errors and just “keep going” as they never happened. After changing some emails with Siarhei, we decided that it was probably the best thing to do.<\/p>\n

After that I started reading this document<\/a> about X (it’s a really good doc for beginners on X) and realized that it was easy to make a patch for MPlayer (actually, Xv driver for MPlayer) to just ignore X errors (we were getting Bad Value error).<\/p>\n

Using the function XSetErrorHandler<\/em> I could set a function to be the error handler. This function must have a signature like this:<\/p>\n

\u00a0x_window_error_handler(Display *display, XErrorEvent *error_event)<\/em><\/p>\n

And you can get the error (integer value) inside error_event->error_code<\/em> . Just did some log procedures and then returned 0 (zero) as nothing happened and there is it! A fully working fullscreen feature on MPlayer when it’s using Xv and “-wid”.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
