Policeman Windows XP - video flickers badly and crashes about shoes-deprecated

[ashbb]

Oh, yeah. This is a known bug. Please launch Shoes 3 with --nolayered option like this: shoes --nolayered

Thanks ashbb - much more stable with that! However doesn't play the video well - probably my ultra slow broadband connection.

Okay. At first download mp4 file by hand. Then edit simple-video.rb like this: @vid = video "AdventureTimewithFinnandJakeFinnTime.mp4". You can watch the video with Shoes from local disk.

Thanks again - using a locally available video with nolayered works well, however I have found that hovering the mouse over the video controls; the play, pause etc. causes the video to be interrupted - a grey screen results, the video returns once the mouse moves away after a few seconds. Odd!

[ashbb]

Yes. Video flickers when mouse hovers/leaved.
But, video returns after a few seconds? Umm,... I'm not sure, but maybe need more machine power... or find another solution...
