Public bug reported: Binary package hint: compiz
Since it is a release goal for gutsy to have composite by default, we really need to work on the polish to get out the rough edges. Right now, if you enable desktop effects, when you go to play a video it does not generally display properly because the incorrect output for video is selected in gstreamer-properties, you have to select the 'no xv' option, which then takes a ton of cpu because I guess it needs an intermediate buffer. With compiz 0.5.0 David Reveman created a plugin for compiz and patches to mplayer and X to solve this http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/compiz/2007-March/001576.html I would imagine most of the hard work is done already (the code already exists). Would it be possible to work with upstream to get this working for gutsy? It's always the little details like this that end up making a world of difference to the end user (eg, why is this so slow, why is this using so much battery?... etc). Worst comes to worst, gutsy+1? ** Affects: compiz (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- [gutsy]Wishlist: make use of compiz's video plugin by default https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/121004 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
