[vlc-devel] Mac OS X blank white screen problem with fix

[Scott Herscher]

The last couple of months on OS X there has been a blank white screen where video should be playing.  This diff has the fix.

I sadly am not enough of a OpenGL expert to know why the old code was wrong...but it was wrong. At least on Mac OS X it was wrong.  If the maintainers of the code could integrate this fix or find out why it wasn't working correctly I'd be very grateful.

Thanks,

Scott
