[gst-devel] glimagesink crash

[David Hoyt]

I'm using glimagesink w/ xoverlay in ubuntu 9.10 -- the first time I run it,
it works fine. But if I set the xid for xoverlay in subsequent calls, it
crashes with: 

The error was 'BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)'.  
(Details: serial 14 error_code 3 request_code 3 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.)

Any idea what I could be doing wrong? The same code works fine w/ ximagesink
and xvimagesink. When I don't use xoverlay and let gstreamer create its own
window, it doesn't crash.

If I set the "sync" property on glimagesink (not related to the "--sync"
option in the error message) to false, I don't get a crash -- but when I
have a pipeline transition from NULL -> PLAYING -> NULL -> PLAYING, instead
of embedding it, it creates a new window as large as my monitor.

I appreciate any help anyone can offer.
