[Bug 205930] New: Playback does sometimes not start in video widget

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=205930

           Summary: Playback does sometimes not start in video widget
           Product: digikam
           Version: 1.0.0-beta4
          Platform: unspecified
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: [hidden email]
        ReportedBy: [hidden email]


Version:           1.0.0-beta4 (using 4.3.1 (KDE 4.3.1) "release 163",
KDE:KDE4:Factory:Desktop / openSUSE_Factory)
Compiler:          gcc
OS:                Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.31-rc7-4-desktop

I have an album in Digikam with several AVI videos.
Sometimes, on clicking on the video or navigating between them by page-up /
page-down, the playback does not start automatically. It simply hangs.
Navigating to the next or previous one and back sometimes helps, sometimes I
have to repeat it more times for getting a video automatically played back.

Open with from Digikam in an external KDE4 DragonPlayer works fine each time.
There seems to be seomething bad in initializing the widget.

BTW: This problem exists already a long time, I remember it in Digikam 0.10.0,
too.

This is not a digiKam problem, but from KDE4 video player (Phonon)

Here alll work fine. I just installed right sub component as xine library to
see Phonon working fine.

Yes, I can confirm.
The switch to gstreamer as a backend in KDE 4.3 made a lot of problems here.

For example amarok didn't play a song for 5!!! minutes, I don't know why it
waited so long but when I skipped to the next song in my playlist, nothing
happened. I also was not able to fast-forward the song.

KMail didn't play my notification sound anymore.
etc...

So as Gilles said, switching back to xine fixed it. You should try this, too.

PS: Yes, I know that GStreamer is plugin based, and I had installed ALL of
them, even the "bad" ones. It didn't help...

Thanks.
Just got to note that I haven't never used the Phonon GStreamer backend, but
Xine (currently 1.1.16.3).

I think there are issues open with Xine also. I only wanted to be sure that the
video widget initialization is done right in Digikam. As I mentioned above,
opening the hanging file in an external Dragonplayer works reliably, of course
also in VLC (all Xine-driven).
