Hi. A quick note to tell you that I have been playing with the OpenGL monitor widget that was written by Dan to replace SDL monitors on Mac OS, and I am thinking about switching everyone (I mean Linux / FreeBSD users) to this OpenGL display.
There are currently several drawbacks: * OpenGl display is slower than SDL (might be improved by better integration between OpenGL and MLT or maybe by an OpenGL expert...) which means the frame rate is slightly slower - at least for me. * OpenGL might not be available an every hardware. The positive points: * OpenGl integrates better than SDL in Qt/KDE, which means for example that if you have a dual monitor setup youcan have fullscreen video display on one monitor, with the other one showing Kdenlive (I just committed this a few hours ago in svn). * No more flicker on pause / play. * This will probably solve the multiple SDL concurency related crashes (mostly experienced when starting Kdenlive or loading a project). As a first step, I will probably allow users to choose between SDL and OpenGL in a config option. For those interested, I think I will try to rewrite parts of the Monitor stuff which is currently a bit messy so that we can have a slightly cleaner communication between timeline, monitors and MLT. Comments welcome.
