NEW PROBLEM: VLC fullscreen freeze

[ravenous420]

hi again, you guys are great, i was just watching a movie on ydl 6.2, using vlc that u guys helped me install, and when i goto full screen (by the way it works my files perfectly) and the movie starts up properly, however lets say i wanted to jump back out of full screen, i double click with the left mouse button and the movie disapears, but the fullscreen is black still... all i have access too is the sidebar and i have to reboot to get the sound of the movie to stop playback... what do i do?

This may be an issue with the framebuffer display of the PS3 - in which case, there's nothing much you can do.

If you're using the default Enlightenment window manager, you might try Gnome. It's already loaded on your system. At your login screen, click the "Sessions" menu, and select Gnome.

Cheers,

Hello
to go in and out of full screen put the cursor on the (maximised) screen and just type f I'm guessing if you double click you open another vlc window.
If you're viewing hi res video it probably really won't like full screen anyway and is marginally better windowed

I had the same problem when i used Enlightenment. i would try a different desktop environment like Gnome or XFCE

hey i have this in vlc messages when i get the error:

freetype error: failed to load font file /usr/share/fonts/dejavu-lgc/DejaVuLGCSerif.ttf
main warning: resampling stopped after 15700391 usec (drift: -37052)
main warning: output date isn't PTS date, requesting resampling (40094)
main warning: buffer is 78197 late, triggering upsampling
main warning: output date isn't PTS date, requesting resampling (40012)

now, basically when i play videos on vlc in YDL 6.2, i can setup vlc to automatically play videos in fullscreen mode, however after i'm done watching them, or if i ever try to exit fullscreen it locks up on me.

perhaps there is a ./configure code someone knows?

This appears to be the same question you asked before. We don't allow double posts on our forum. Since you've included some error messages, rather than locking this thread, I'm merging it with your other posts.

So - as to your question - did you try Gnome yet?

Cheers,

Hello
funnily enough vlc has done a similar thing to me, when I switch to fullscreen it goes blank and the picture won't come back same if I set .vlc/config to open in fullscreen, I shall investigate further tomorrow

Hmmm I had ps3frame buffer limited to 4Mb in /etc/yaboot.conf (for more ram) and changed to 6Mb and now fullscreen works fine it never had any probs before, I'll swap it back later and see what happens
