[MPlayer-users] Possible bugs with vo_ontop on windows

[Simeon Bird]

Hello,

I have had some really strange behaviour on windows with mplayer, see below.
This could be a bug in mplayer. It is so odd that I suspect it is my fault
somehow, but I thought I'd report it anyway.

In my input.conf, there is the following line:

T vo_ontop  # toggle video window ontop of other windows

This does not allow vo_ontop to be enabled, merely disabled. That is, if
vo_ontop is enabled with a command-line option, pressing T disables it.
Pressing T again does nothing except display "Stay on top: disabled" in
mplayer's OSD. However, splitting this into two lines, as:

T vo_ontop  
## toggle video window ontop of other windows

works fine, if using vo=directx (If using vo=gl2, in windows mode the window
shrinks by about 10% each time vo_ontop is enabled, and in addition the
previous behaviour is present).

This only occurs in windows, but has occured in every svn version of mplayer I
have tried (both my own and others compilations) since mplayer 1.0rc1, and has
occured for two separate graphics cards, one ATI and one Nvidia. I am using
Windows XP SP2, with directx 9.0c. It occurs with every video file I have tried.
