Full Screen Mode
You can view your video in full screen mode (if you have a FAST machine):
choose "Full screen" in the "Display scale" list, or right-click over the
video and choose "Full screen". To exit from the full screen mode, you can
left-click with your mouse, or press any key, or right-click over the video.
The program control keys (see above) still works in Full screen mode.
How do I get
the "full featured" version of xanim?
Go to the xanim
homepage and follow the instructions on how to get the "cinepak", "indeo"
and "creative" video codecs. Probably you'll need to recompile xanim.
You can also visit the
David Sweet's XAnim page
for precompiled and full-featured XAnim available for download
in RPM format.
Why sometimes
(not always) aKtion! doesn't play the video sound?
Sometimes xanim "fights" with KDE in order to get the sound control.
This specially happends if you have lots of system sounds activated. If
KDE is playing the, let's say, "new window" sound when aKtion! starts,
and aKtion! tries to automatically start playing the video, then xanim
will see that the sound card is busy, and will refuse to play the video
sound.
Solution: deactivate some system sounds. You can also deactivate
aktion' "autoplay" feature. Or, when the sound is gone, you can press the
stop button and then play again.

KXAnim *myVideoWidget;
myVideoWidget = new KXAnim( this, "the name");
myVideoWidget->move(x,y);
Then you just need to connect some signals to the widget slots. You can also call those slots manually like:
myVideoWidget->play();
But before this don't forget to set the file to play:
myVideoWidget->setFile("videoFileName.avi");
Take a look at the full class documentation.
