2. Play any file
3. Video window is blank (black). Sometimes video appears on the root X window 
(clearing my wallpaper) .

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect video to appear in the gnome-mplayer window.

Here is command line I used to start video playing:

ierton@pokemon ~/proj/gnu/gnome-mplayer-read-only $ ./src/gnome-mplayer -v 
~/downloads/For\ the\ Birds\ \ \(2001\).avi  > log 2>&1

Might try another vo like xv? When did this last work? And what else have you 
changed on your system? I am currently unable to duplicate your issue.

might try running 'make distclean' or 'make clean' and rerunning configure and 
make and see if that solves the problem. This could be caused by some other 
component being upgraded.

I've tried different settings (all video outputs except vpadu). Same results. 
I've also tried 0.9.9.2 installed as package before svn. 
No, it is not an upgrade issue - I made svn checkout for the first time.

Here is my mplayer version: 

ierton@pokemon ~ $ equery list mplayer
[ Searching for package 'mplayer' in all categories among: ]
 * installed packages
[I--] [  ] media-video/mplayer-1.0_rc4_p20091026-r1 (0)

For me it looks like something is wrong with mplayer's argument for window id 
to draw on.

For example, smplayer works fine. Here is it's log. Notice -wid 18874712 
argument. gnome-mplayer doesn't use this. Is it all right?

Ah, sorry, I am wrong. gnome-mplayer uses -wid <id>. Is there a tool which I 
can use to check this id? Maybe it actually points to invalid window.

Mm, just a guess. smplayer uses decimal numbers while gnome-mplayer - hex. Can 
it be a clue?

Original comment by ier...@gmail.com on 5 Nov 2010 at 8:41

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Decimal or hex should be fine. I've been using hex numbers for years. you can 
try decimal numbers by altering thread.c

I think what is bothering me is the assertions you have in the log. Seems like 
something in gtk just isn't working right. 

I have two machines, one with gtk 2.20 and another with gtk 2.22 and they both 
work fine as is.

Hm. Yes, hex is ok. I have x11-libs/gtk+-2.20.1-r1 on my machine. Works quite 
fine.

Maybe it's a gnome-related problem? I am not using it. My environment is just 
AwesomeWM. And here is new info: When I'm launching nautilus, it replaces my 
wallpaper with the desktop (~/Desktop/* and Trash icons). If I launch 
gnome-mplayer after that, following can happens (not always but quite 
frequently):

ierton@pokemon ~/proj/gnu/gnome-mplayer-read-only $ ./src/gnome-mplayer 
~/downloads/For\ the\ Birds\ \ \(2001\).avi
The program 'gnome-mplayer' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)'.
  (Details: serial 1143 error_code 3 request_code 40 minor_code 0)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
   option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

If I kill nautilus, those crashes will gone.

Can it be some missing gnome resource?

I'm unsure what could be causing that as I don't run the awesome window 
manager. I actaully run nautilus with --no-desktop so I don't have the Desktop 
icons. It might be possible that awesome is interfering with the window 
embedding process that gnome-mplayer uses.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

No, I've checked it without WM (using pure xterm session). Same behaviour as 
before, no crashes.

Can you test using metacity as the window manager and see if that helps?

Original comment by kdeko...@gmail.com on 5 Nov 2010 at 10:12

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Done. Pure metacity. 2 logs are in attach, one good and one bad (bad case is 
more frequent on given video file). Also there were situations when all looked 
fine at the beginning of playback but then "invalid Pixmap or Window parameter" 
errors appeared suddenly and screen became blank.

Here is new log. Initially good, but then I pressed pause/unpause several times 
and errors appeared.

Please post your configure log and you might try upgrading mplayer to something 
newer.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Ok. Config.log attached.

Can you retest SVN, improvements have be made to this area of the code.
