Desktop shows for a brief second when clicking on a video

Hydropastor

I've only noticed this since upgrading to 3.0 and higher, but when I switch to a video in my OOS, my computer's desktop shows for a quick second and then the video plays. Any one else have this issue? I've had it happen on two different installs on two different computers.

In a related note, looping moving worship backgrounds flash to black when they reach the looping spot for a quick second. If I downgrade to earlier version 2.0 etc....I don't have that issue. It's super distracting during worship. Any thoughts?

I’ve been seeing this too, where at the end of a video background it flashes back to desktop for a second, then shows the video in the top left quadrant, then resizes to full screen. It wasn’t in the 3.0 RCs but I believe it is in all releases since. It could have also changed in 3.1.

Yes I have this problem too, just upgraded to 3.1.3 it is still present.

Yeah, it's been a problem for a while now, and one of the reasons I moved us to another presentation software. Popped in to update and see if this had been fixed only to find out it had not yet.

Same problem on my setup as well. So i make sure I have a solid black desktop background to make the glitch less visible.
Do you guys see the same issue if you run the loop directly in VLC? OpenLP is using the VLC engine, so i wonder if it has something to do with file caching or something in the VLC engine?

But one thing I've noticed is that video runs more stable if i reduce the screen size with one pixel less than full screen. Has anyone else tried that?
