Description Philippe Chaintreuil 2008-07-21 19:30:43 UTC

After capturing a session and an mpeg is produced, there is a "Play" button offered in a "Capture results" window.  Clicking this button attempts to run mplayer (src/app_data.c line #407).

Note that this is just a convenience thing, your movie is still available, and you can click the "close" button to dismiss the results window.

I'm going to guess that this means that mplayer should be a dependency, or a patch of some sort should be made for the code?

Reproducible: Always




This may effect earlier versions of this program, but I can only get this version to build.

I will add an elog message to the ebuild for 1.1.7 release. See bug #234383.
