Bug#518662: ignores "video.driver" option in ~/.config/totem/xine_config

Sat Mar 7 18:37:51 UTC 2009

Package: totem-xine
Version: 2.22.2-5
Severity: normal

Background: I'm using VirtualGL[1], which is a framework for rendering 
OpenGL apps locally and sending the rendered images to another machine
on the network using JPEG-Compression. For example, this makes playing
OpenArena or other 3D-Games (even through wine) possible on my
LTSP-Thin-Client. With the OpenGL output of video players like vlc or 
xine-ui it's even possible to watch highres-movies full screen on the
thin client without problems, since the images are compressed before
sending them over the network.

So, while watching highres-movies full screen works with other players
(using their OpenGL output), totem-xine seems to ignore the
"video.driver" option  in ~/.config/totem/xine_config

Using the default value
   #video.driver:auto
or some change value like
   video.driver:opengl
or
   video.driver:xv
or
   video.driver:thisshouldntwork
is exactly the same - slow if using full screen. The output does in all
cases look like:

  alexander at debian:~$ totem-xine /home/public/Filme/House\ MD/1-01\ -\
Pilot.avi 
   video_out_xshm: received X error event: BadAccess (attempt to access
private resource denied)
   ** (totem-xine:6262): DEBUG: Init of Python module
   ** (totem-xine:6262): DEBUG: Registering Python plugin instance:

   ** (totem-xine:6262): DEBUG: Creating Python plugin instance
   ** (totem-xine:6262): DEBUG: Finalizing Python plugin instance

There is simply no change at all. 

However, I know that the xine-backend is capable of using these
outputs, since it works with xine-ui and other frontends.

I'm also quite sure, that this is the right option since setting
   video.driver:opengl
in the xine-ui config file (~/.xine/config) works as expected.

Finally changing some other option in /.config/totem/xine_config, for
example
   video.output.disable_scaling:1
has the expected effect.

Any idea?
