[vlc-devel] problem with libvlc_media_player_set_xwindow and a X window created by XCB

[Mathieu SCHROETER]

Hello,

I tried to use libvlc 1.1 (tested against [1]) to play a video in a
X window created directly by XCB. But unfortunately, it returns
some errors. I don't know if there is a bug somewhere in libvlc..
or maybe my use of libvlc is wrong?!

I've attached a small test app to reproduce the problem.. it creates
a window in fullscreen, plays a video, and waits 2 sec. The window
stays black and there are some errors printed by libvlc. Note that
a window created in this way is perfectly usable with `mplayer -wid`
and xine-lib.


  gcc `pkg-config --cflags --libs xcb libvlc` testxid.c -o testxid
  ./testxid foobar.avi


The log of libvlc is attached..


The interesting part:
