Anyway that not what you where looking for, as the colorkey is<br> a color you *don't* want to see.<br> <div class="im"><br> ><br> > Is the idea to listen for x expose events and hide the component?<br> <br> </div>I said, please check the source: gst_xvimagesink_xwindow_clear() is painting the<br> window black when going from READY_TO_NULL. It's something we should make<br> optional I think (and remove at some point). Its also inconsistent as apps would<br> need to make their video window black initially if they want it to be black.<br> File a bug?<br> <font color="#888888"><br> Stefan<br> </font></blockquote></div><br></div>
