Video pauses when volume adjusted

[danielk]

Both the audio and video pause when the volume is adjusted since the MythUI merge.

Daniel - what video renderer/OSD painter are you using?

OSD performance post merge is now entirely different. For VDPAU, Direct3D9 and OpenGL it will be much faster. For ChromaKey any differences will be down to Qt painting versus the old OSD painting code. For the blended OSD there will be similar painting differences and potentially a small performance penalty as we paint in '24bit' yuv and convert as needed.

That said, I was pretty careful when writing the software blended code to ensure it optimises wherever possible.

I'm not really sure what else to do or say. The code base is now different.

(are you sure it's not an audio issue given that the 2 merges happened in close proximity)

[danielk]

It's with VDPAU where I'm seeing the bug. Since the merges were in close proximity it may well be audio causing the problem, what kind of logging is required to assess? "-v audio,playback" ?

And now for something entirely unexpected...

Remove gnome-screensaver there is no pause in audio and just a tiny pause in the video.

See [26092] for the backgrounding of the gnome-screensaver-command in myth_system.

Waiting to see if the aforementioned change fixes the reported issue.

[danielk]

I can confirm the fix works.
