That's a radical semantic change... Not sure it is such a great idea...<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I'll take that patch back for a while, since as Laurent mentioned on IRC the current mms plugin depends on having all video streams selected. I think it's a good discussion opener though.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Better approach that would solve the ASF+MMS problem is to first signal MMS plugin every time a track is selected or unselected and it would signal the server accordingly. This would fix the bug #3797, but it doesn't remove the main problem though, which is that video streams should be selectable. (bug #3796)</div>
<div><br></div><div>Currently if there are several video streams in a file, the GUI lets user select the wanted video track, but it has no effect whatsoever on the actual output. All video tracks are played in different windows anyway. What makes this worse is that with X11 and XVideo output only one of the windows can be accelerated, which causes a rather long delay and a lot of "open->close->open window" behavior, when the player is probing for each stream if XVideo can be used or not. </div>
<div><br></div><div>To make it short, that patch shouldn't be merged now. But after the MMS is fixed to work properly, I think there should be video ES selection as well, radical or not.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div>
