Good job on Ogle 0.9.0! I'm very pleased to see the ability to skip
backwards an arbitrary number of seconds. Very handy for "what did that
guy just say?" scenarios.
A few issues I have noticed so far when using the RPMs of Ogle 0.9.0 and
ogle_gui 0.9.0 (some are feature requests, I guess):
----------------------------------------------------------------------
* Pressing 'q' in a movie window (either windowed or fullscreen) will
result in the process stopping responding to further keyboard commands.
The message:
msg close FIX
Xlib: unexpected async reply (sequence 0x786)!
comes up on the console. The movie continues to play during this. If
you then select the GUI window and press any key, the program will exit
with a:
Gdk-ERROR **: BadRequest (invalid request code or no such operation)
serial 3074 error_code 1 request_code 0 minor_code 0
ctrl: ipc_rmid: Invalid argument
----------------------------------------------------------------------
* File..Exit doesn't seem to work anymore (either does clicking the
'close' button). Both result in the process freezing, requiring a "kill
-15 on ogle_gui".
----------------------------------------------------------------------
* The date for the ogle 0.9.0 release on the "news" section of the web
site is 2002-08-05 :) [FIXED]
----------------------------------------------------------------------
* Some static menu items (such as pages of text) on some DVD's (most
notably the Mind Candy PC Demo DVD) flash through too fast to be seen
(Perhaps 1/20 second). I am guessing some 'wait for keypress' directive
is not being interpreted correctly in these cases.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
* I do like the idea of being able to enter a number n, then <PGUP> or
<PGDN> to have it skip n seconds, but it can get annoying if I first
press a digit for another purpose, and then a minute or so later hit
<PGUP> or <PGDN>. I think there should be a time limit (say 5 seconds)
on whether or not a pressed digit applies to the skip time.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
* It seems I can no longer do a chapter skip during copyright notices
anymore. Is this intentional? I don't mind seeing the messages, but it
really is too much when they 'lock up' your player for 30 seconds. Is
there some legal issue here? (though I do notice that in some movies I
can skip between the variuos translations of the copyright, which makes
me wonder if the chapter skip can no longer skip across titles?)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
thanks,
Greg
