[vlc-devel] Video output window

[Dermot McGahon]

Hi,

I have a playlist full of satellite TV channels. VLC is started with  
--width 1024
--height 688. Most channel changes work fine, but on some I see the  
following
sequence:

  xcommon: deactivate()
  xcommon: DestroyWindow()
  xcommon: CreateWindow()

After this, the video output window is hidden behind other windows. I  
don't know
the exact reason for the window being recreated. It might be an aspect  
ratio
change. But even if it's for an aspect ratio change, I'm specifying the  
height
and width so it shouldn't be possible to change the size of the window.  
Also,
the newly created window isn't being set on top, even though it does seem  
to
call the right functions:

  xcommon: setting WM hints
  xcommon: expose event received
  xcommon: video output sub-window created
  xcommon: video-on-top=0
  xcommon: VOUT_SET_STAY_ON_TOP
  xcommon: WindowOnTop()
  xcommon: VOUT_SIZE_CHANGE

Since I know the height and width, I would be happy if you could even  
point me
to a solution that prevents the window from being destroyed and recreated.


Dermot.
