NEW: Theater View on Linux

--- Quote from: Hendrik on October 29, 2016, 02:38:33 am ---I could see it flashing from a graphics quirk or so - but resetting the input location suggests something else is going on, maybe Theater View is being restarted all the time? A log might help (try to keep it short, start MC, enter Theater View, see it flash a few times, and quit).
I haven't actually tried it on anything but Intel GPUs yet, but somehow it doesn't feel like a graphics change can cause this, but we'll find out!

I'll test later and send some logs. I have two NVidia systems running Arch, so I can see if the behavior is identical on the other one too.
--- Quote ---For the Playing Now issue - did you try clicking into the window after pressing stop?
I couldn't reproduce any "freeze", but for some reason it does appear to lose input focus. Unfortunately the window and focus management on Linux are a bit of a mistery to me. Maybe Bob can help?

Good catch, it is just losing focus on stop. Clicking the interface brings control back. That actually reminds me of some very strange behavior I've been seeing on stop with my raspberry pi's. Frequently when a playlist finishes (i.e. stops) I'll see a focus change on my raspberry pi kiosk systems. It also prevents the screen from turning off until I interact with it again. I always assumed it was something flaky with the Pi's and the Pi touch display, but it may be related to this since both involve focus shenanigans on stop.
Two more reports:
1. I know you said obsidian was the only tested skin; I typically use Noire, so I did some testing. It appears to work well except that the backgrounds are extremely washed out. It looks like it's running in a limited color gamut instead of 0-255, or the gamma is way too high or something.
2. It doesn't appear to respect the theater view scaling setting (or any other scaling setting for that matter). That makes it a little hard to use on a hi DPI screen, but I'm sure that will come in time.
Great work, this is awesome.

I can't really reproduce this. I loaded Noire in DX and in OpenGL (both on Windows), and both look perfectly identical. I also opened the same view on my Linux box and it looks the same there (as it happens it has the same monitor as well).
It should always output full range and use the desktop gamma. I don't suppose there is a system or screen difference or something like that?
Noire is kind of meant to look a bit washed out as it has a grey overlay over the background images.

Scale seems to work here. You might need to restart MC for that to fully catch on.

I tested in windows and Linux on the same machine (dual boot) and reproduced it. So I can rule out the screen and hardware differences. I'll try on a few more boxes and see what I get.

This is definitely different than the normal Noire grey, this isn't a subtle grey.

I'll test that; can you confirm it's the theater view scale setting that it respects and not one of the other scale settings? I thought I restarted with no difference. It definitely ignores the DE scaling setting.

With the URL fix by JimH, I finally downloaded and installed 2.0.37 beta. No luck with "Theatre View". All I got was a large white screen on an Acer X34 Predator monitor (3440 x 1400) running Mint 18 64 bit. I'm also using a new EVGA 1080 FTW video card.
GLXinfo:
server glx version string: 1.4
OpenGL vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation
OpenGL renderer string: GeForce GTX 1080/PCIe/SSE2
OpenGL core profile version string: 4.5.0 NVIDIA 370.28
OpenGL core profile shading language version string: 4.50 NVIDIA
When I first ran Theatre View I noticed the default skin was "Acaju". I thought that might be the problem based on Hendrick's initial post, so I changed it to "Obsidian" but that didn't work either. I didn't notice any screen flashing as noted by mwillems.

This is how it looks for me (both on original Windows and Linux), which doesn't seem very subtle:

Yes, same scale setting as Windows.
