I installed compiz and everything from Quattro's git packages. I have no video playback now. VLC and totem both have scrambled-looking image that displays where the video playback should be (audio is fine). I checked the video playback option in ccsm and that didnt change anything. anyone know how i can get the video to play in compiz?

So compiz from git doesn't yet have support for regular video playback in totem or vlc or any other standard video player?

please open that mplaypatch.patch, and you'll see HTML code, which is not a patch file ...

??? I don't want to install some weird patched version of mplayer. Totem and VLC played video fine in 0.6.0 release of compiz fusion. Isn't there a way to have video work, regardless of player, under compiz. I am sure there is, it would not be a bug left unfixed. Could someone please inform me on how to fix this, not install mplayer.

Hey,
I solved this - it had to do with compiz trying to handle my multiple outputs [nvidia] in general settings>>display>>outputs. i removed the secondary output from that list and turned off detect displays. Now it doesnt garble the video, and also handles windows and other things better now. THe secondary monitor still works [nvidia controls that] but now compiz doesnt try and deal with it separately, which makes it work better.
I can't fullscreen videos to my secondary monitor[TV] now how i had it before (now it fullscreens to my 1st monitor), but i will just deal with that and try to get it a little better.
