Re: [Bino-list] My tests: reaching for smooth playback of full-sbs HD video w/ subtitles

[Pedro Silva Pinto]

Hi Martin,

I'm using Gnome which uses gnome-screensaver. Take a look here:
http://people.gnome.org/~mccann/gnome-screensaver/docs/gnome-screensaver.htm
l

As for the subtitles, I get these messages; could any of this be responsible
for the performance hit:
bino: [wrn] LibASS: Neither PlayResX nor PlayResY defined. Assuming 384x288
bino: [wrn] LibASS: fontconfig: Selected font is not the requested one:
'Liberation Sans Bold' != 'Arial'

I would like to mention another thing: the subtitles are rendered casting a
fake shadow; this looks good if you're playing a regular 2d video, but not
so good if the underlying video is stereoscopic, because the depth of the
objects behind the subtitles (where the shadow should be cast upon) varies. 

Cheers!

Pedro

What desktop are you using? I use XFCE (which uses XScreenSaver). If
"inhibit the screensaver" also fails on Gnome and/or KDE, I might as well
remove this functionality completely until someone figures out how this is
supposed to be done properly...

OK, then we'll have performance problems to fix...
