[gst-devel] XOverlay behaviour change ?

[Olivier Aubert]

Hi Stefan

Thanks for the answer, but this is not the root of the cause since I
also tried this approach and the behaviour is identical. And anyway,
directly using set_xwindow_id is mentioned in the XOverlay doc (this
specific information was added on january 2010 by Tim, so I assume that
it is correct):

>From gst-libs/gst/interfaces/xoverlay.c :
 * There are two basic usage scenarios: in the simplest case, the application
 * knows exactly what particular element is used for video output, which is
 * usually the case when the application creates the videosink to use
 * (e.g. #xvimagesink, #ximagesink, etc.) itself; in this case, the application
 * can just create the videosink element, create and realize the window to
 * render the video on and then call gst_x_overlay_set_xwindow_id() directly
 * with the XID or native window handle, before starting up the pipeline.
 *
 * In the other and more common case, the application does not know in advance
 * what GStreamer video sink element will be used for video output. 
 * [...use prepare-xwindow-id...]

I am in the first case (instanciating exactly the sink I need), and
calling set_xwindow_id after my embedding widget is realized.
