Grey Color shown before starting a video

[callw...@gmail.com]

Hi all,

Is there a way to not show a grey color before starting a video.  It will show a grey color around 1-2 seconds.
How to disable this?  Or change it to black color?

Thanks in advance,
Wilson

You don't say what version of gnome-mplayer/gmtk you are using but I'm
guessing you are probably downlevel a bit.

Normally the screen will be black if you are using the current
version. There were bugs that were fixed in v 1.0.6 and if you use
GTK3 in 1.0.8 that fixed this problem.

Also if you are using vdpau or other hardware acceleration I cannot
set the background color of the widget, and have to let the theme do
it. If I set it in the code, sometimes it causes flickering as the
application and mplayer fight for who is drawing on the window. So I
disable drawing the background in those cases.

I am using gnome-mplayer 1.08 and gmtk 1.08.
Unfortunate, I need to use vdpau or vaapi for the hardware acceleration.
If I use these two hardware acceleration, I will have no way to get rid of this grey color?
Or I can still set the theme? Right now, the theme is dark color, but still have a grey color box.

Thanks,
Wilson

You might be able to get rid of it with theme tweak. Like making
changes to the GTK rc file. But it is not something I can seem to work
around in the application. vdpau and vaapi with hardware acceleration
draw directly on the screen outside of GTK and so it can cause
problems with the apps.

You can try enabling the background color in the application by
editing gmtk_media_player.c in gmtk and changing the "socket_realized"
function and just changing the code so that the black background is
always used no matter what the vo is.

Wilson -

  As a work-around, what I've done (using 1.0.6) is render the embed off-screen (say, set the style of the enclosing DIV to left="-2000px"), start the video playing, and then move it immediately on-screen by setting left="0px". It gets rid of the gray (or white) flash before the video plays.

Hi Kevin,
I have another application using 1.04.  Are the modifications the same?  Or something else?

Hi Kurl,
If I use version 1.04, presumably it should work as you just tweak around the style sheet.  Am I correct?

Thanks,
Wilson
