TV-bug (video-freezing) and how to reprocuce

Al_Capone · 2006-10-29, 14:54

This describes steps to successfully reproduce the bug:

1.- play any music, or stream radio.
2.- exit to main screen (with the small visualization in lower left corner)
3.- select TV (notice that TV is not on, music still plays
4.- switch on TV by selecting "TV-On" (music stops playing, TV comes on in little window on right side)
5.- select "fullsreen" , TV picture will now freeze, and sound continue.
(kill mediaportal.exe task to quit)

to successfully switch from music, to TV: (avoid bug)

1.- play any music, or stream radio.
2.- exit to main screen (with the small visualization in lower left corner)
3.- press STOP , observe visualization disappear, and audio stop playing.
4.- select TV (notice that TV is alredy "on" automaticly)
5.- select "fullscreen" , and it will go fullscreen

This is the description from my delicious fiance, Iselin, who found this way to pinpoint this bug.

an update is not required since the mantis entry is still open. -> not fixed

Ok, I was afraid it would be "forgotten" because it's marked 0.2.0.0 , and I assumed all focus was on newly reported 0.2.2 bugs.
