Volume setting not remembered when video finishes playing #277

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago


What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Open video file (verified with MP4/H.264/AAC and AVI/XviD/MP3)
2. Set volume slider to 0.
3. After video has finished, click play.
4. gnome-mplayer UI shows the volume is muted, however audio is played back.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Audio played back, should be muted.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
0.9.7 on Fedora 11 (installed and updated from repos)

What Audio Output do you have set in the application?

There was nothing selected previously. Having tried the various options, it 
appears
to be when using Pulse Audio. Also, when using Alsa, setting gnome-mplayer's 
volume
sets the system wide master volume to the player volume.

Alsa and Pulse (in Fedora 11) have a single volume control. This is called flat
volume support. Sounds like what you want it software volume control that is
independent of the system volume. So enable "Softvol" in Edit->Preferences on 
the
mplayer tab. I think this will give you what you want.

Now having tried the -softvol option to mplayer, I'm afraid that it isn't the 
flat
volume feature that is the problem (it's been disabled on my system for some 
time now
anyway). 

The problem is not present in gnome-mplayer 0.9.6.

You probably can't use the the non-flat pulse and the package from rpmfusion 
together
without some configuration.

You might try setting the gconf key
"/apps/gnome-mplayer/preferences/use_pulse_flat_volume" and disable softvol and 
set
the ao to pulse. I'm pretty sure that should work as desired as that is the 
config I
use here.

Ok, I did some more research and found a bug and fixed in in SVN. I hope I 
didn't
break other setups doing this.

When compiling from source, the 0.9.7 release worked fine, there were no 
problems
with the application volume not being remembered. However, the gconf change 
suggested
in [5], didn't have any effect on the repository (rpmfusion) installation.

Many thanks for your help, kdekorte!
