There is a new release, which involves a lot of bugfix and new features. Here comes the shortlog between 0.5.2 and 0.5.4 -Enchanced CD and DVD title/track support -Updated translations -Support for Gnome Multimedia keys -Several UI Updates -Longer URL support Normal changelog here: http://href.hu/x/4g4n (Sorry but the original link is way to long to paste here.) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. just rename the ebuild to gnome-mplayer-0.5.4 2. emerge it 3. Portage has an ebuild for 0.5.2. Renaming the ebuild to 0.5.4 works fine.
Just an additiaonal note. 1. gnome-mplayer (versions 0.5.3 and 0.5.4) do NOT require libgnome-2 or libgnomeui-2 2. emerge -pv libgnome libgnomeui <snip> [ebuild N ] gnome-base/libbonoboui-2.20.0 USE="X doc -debug" 0 kB [ebuild N ] gnome-base/libgnomeui-2.20.1.1 USE="doc jpeg -debug" 0 kB <snip> 3. ~% gnome-mplayer -v GNOME MPlayer v0.5.4 vo = x11,xv ao = alsa Using match: type='signal',interface='com.gnome.mplayer' Using match: type='signal',interface='org.gnome.SettingsDaemon' Proxy connections and Command connected 4. I installed gnome-mplayer via cvs and it runs 'fine'.

Why do you want to use gnome-mplayer if you don't have gnome installed? :) For example there are other mplayer gui-s for KDE. If I am not wrong, Xfce also have gconf installed.
(In reply to comment #3) > Why do you want to use gnome-mplayer if you don't have gnome installed? :) 1. It works w/ gecko-mediaplayer, which is far superior to mplayerplug-in -- in fact gnome-mplayer and gecko-mediaplayer are written by the same person who wrote mplayerplug-in. 2. The name gnome-mplayer is really a misnomer. The only 'gnome' package that is needed is gconf. 3. I don't have either gnome or kde on my system -- fluxbox or e16. 4. gecko-mediaplayer and gnome-mplayer work well with Opera and Firefox. 5. The backend is mplayer which is superior to the gxine, vlc backend -- you need all the help you can get w/ a 400Mhz Cpu. > For example there are other mplayer gui-s for KDE. You're kidding right. ;-) > If I am not wrong, Xfce also have gconf installed. I don't run Xfce. Even if I did, both gecko-mediaplayer and gnome-mplayer have a dependency on gconf so it should be included in the .ebuild

Okay it's not in portage. :) > > If I am not wrong, Xfce also have gconf installed. > > I don't run Xfce.

The GNOME team does not maintain gnome-mplayer. If assigning directly to a team instead of bugwranglers, please check the metadata first. Reassigning to the correct team. Feel free to CC us if input from the gnome team if sought.
thanks, fixed
