[Bug 475375] Re: Can't play videos in kaffeine, dragon player, gwenview and smplayer using the "xv" driver after running cairo-dock

[Marcelo]

Hello,

I've tried to run smplayer as indicated in that web page:
export XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1
smplayer &

But the problem persists. If I select the "gl" driver it works, as I had mentioned in the bug report. However, it is slower than "xv "and if the video area of the smplayer window and the video being played are in different proportions, the extra space is filled with a transparent gray background, which is horrible. The other Qt applications do not offer an option to use other video driver, so they simply do not play videos.
Is there anything else I should test?

Thanks,

Marcelo
