Video playback on Linux (issue 2: Windowed mode)
Posted: Thu Feb 29, 2024 5:08 pm
Same install as issue 1 : clean install Linux Mint 21.3 and QLC 4.12.7 (qt5 version !).
After adding a Video function, when playing the video (in the function screen) on screen 1 a full black screen is displayed with the mouse pointer, but without any option of resizing or stopping the 'running' video (displaying on screen 2 obviously leaves the possibility to stop playback from QLC UI on screen 1)..
The playback mode (single shot or loop) makes no difference, the 'black' screen stays on indefinite.
I can alt-tab to other running programs, but as soon as the alt key is released, the black screen takes over again, even if another running program is selected.
The only way out is to hard-reboot the system (press power button for 10 sec).
FYI windowed playback works OK on W11 (with K-lite codec pack added), with video showing (so no issue 1 there also).
I put this in a separate thread as I am not certain if there is a relation with issue 1 (playback) ... should there be, threads can be merged.
