[MPlayer-users] flicker between playlist items

[keithcsl at ihug.co.nz]

Hi Guillaume

Yes, fixed-vo solves the problem if the playlist is passed
into mplayer. However, in our application the playlist
changes and is not constant. The application maintains the
playlist and after each item is played, the app will decide
which item is played next.

Since fixed-vo solves the problem within mplayer, I guess
there is no way our application will be able to solve the
problem. This is because the application is playing one item
at a time, thus using a new window each time.

I just found out that even if the playlist has 1 item, there
is a flicker before the item is played. Is this something to
do with the window initialisation?

Regards
Keith
