Video Player OSD Issue
RussellS:
I'm having problems getting the OSD to display correctly when playing a video fullscreen. I found a forum thread by BryanC documenting the same problem but there were no answers.

I'm seeing exactly the same issue. The OSD will display briefly or will flash on and off. Is there any solution to this either in MC or in Linux itself.

Are you seeing this with dual monitors? If so It's a longstanding bug. It mostly works correctly for me on a single screen, but always does exactly what you're describing when I go fullscreen on one of multiple monitors.
RussellS:
Ah, I never even thought of that. Yes I have a dual monitor setup. As it's a long standing bug I don't suppose a fix is coming soon then.
Thanks very much for clarifying it for me though.

The last word I heard was that dual-monitors wasn't fully supported, so we're on our own for now. Other than the OSD, fullscreen mostly works now though (it used to fullscreen across both monitors!). I'm looking forward to a fix as well FWIW, but video development on the Linux side has been incrementally improving so I'm sure it will eventually get solved. File a bug in the build thread once in a while to make sure it stays on the radar.
Ekpen:
I am up with my MC 21.0.37. Audio -Flac plays well from the desktop, meaning I can sit in front of the PC and play Audio.
In the case of Video (mkv) ripped files, I am unable to get my movies to play. A few days ago, I added a Samsung 4k tv 40 inch JU407100 as a second monitor/TV.. Audio plays with single or dual monitor, but video will not play either with single or dual monitor/ TV.
From the terminal mode, I ran mediacenter21, resulting in (core dump) error segment faults.
The good news is that, I can watch movies from the same Linux box through the network all day with no problem..
I am currently using an Asus All in one desktop dual boot with Windows 10 64 bit and Ubuntu 15.10 .
when I go back to Windows mode, I am able to watch movies using MC 21.0.37 both with single screen and dual screen modes.
What do I need to do at least to make the video play on a single monitor at the minimum?
Any help on this please ?
Thanks.
George
