Setting the WM_NAME/WM_ICON_NAME window properties didn't always work: apparently there are some characters that can't be represented in the X STRING or COMPOUND_TEXT encodings, such as U+2013 EN DASH. The function Xutf8TextListToTextProperty partially converts the string, and returns a value different from 'Success'. This means vo_x11_set_property_string didn't set these window properties. On most modern window managers, this is not a problem, since these use the _NET_WM_NAME/_NET_ICON_NAME and the UTF8_STRING encoding. Some older WMs like IceWM don't read these, and the window title remains blank. It's not clear what exactly we should do in this situation, but fix it by setting set the WM_NAME/WM_ICON_NAME properties as UTF8_TEXT. This violates the ICCCM, but at least IceWM seems to handle this well.

Compiling with full features requires development files for several external libraries. Below is a list of some important requirements. For more information see the output of './configure --help' for a list of options, or look at the list of enabled and disabled features printed after running './configure'. If you think you have support for some feature installed but configure fails to detect it, the file config.log may contain information about the reasons for the failure. Libraries specific to particular video output methods (you'll want at least one of VDPAU, GL or Xv): - libvdpau (for VDPAU output, best choice for NVIDIA cards) - libGL (OpenGL output) - libXv (XVideo output) general: - libasound (ALSA audio output) - various general X development libraries - libfreetype - libfontconfig - libass - FFmpeg libraries (libavutil libavcodec libavformat libswscale libpostproc) Most of the above libraries are available in suitable versions on normal Linux distributions. However FFmpeg is an exception (distro versions may be too old to work at all or work well). For that reason you may want to use the separately available build wrapper that first compiles FFmpeg libraries and libass, and then compiles the player statically linked against those.
