So, you have been filing a lot of "program foo builds on mips" bugs, yet you
haven't provided a single bit of information as to whether they work, pass
test, etc.  "This program builds" bugs are extremely useless.  With respect to
this bug, I happen to know that historically, mplayer has had serious issues
working properly on mips, and a lot of the deps are fucked.  We actually got
rid of mips keywords in mplayer for this very reason.

I've been working on this on the octane and I haven't been able to narrow down
the reason why gmplayer doesn't work. Until then, I'm not keywording it.

i'm encoding a lot of png files to one mpeg4 video and it works. this happens
on an octane with no x11 installed. 

mencoder "mf://*.png" -mf fps=24 -idx -o animation.mp4 -ovc lavc -lavcopts
vcodec=mpeg4:autoaspect=1

also mplayer can open that generated file. (it seems to do so. i'm only
connected trough ssh. at least there are no errors.)

i could compile mplayer with libcaca support to get console output. maybe i
will test that.

We don't care whether you can get one corner case to work. We care whether the
whole thing works.

And I've gotten it to play xvid based videos ripped from SCSI DVD, however
until gmplayer works as expected on Xorg I'm not going to keyword it.

I'm not discouraging you, please continue your testing. You can do more testing
via remote X session or VNC, the real show stopper is the gmplayer (GUI) of
mplayer. Till we get that solved, not ~mips loving.

So, as little a MPlayer developers care about the Gui, is there a bug report
somewhere upstream or so? It won't fix itself after all.

gmplayer works fine (although horribly slow compared to mplayer) on a SGI Indy
R5000 in a tightvnc session. One only has to add '-vo x11' (probably because of
Xvnc).

Tested with mjpeg, xvid and mpeg4 movies

Still not good enough.  It doesn't work properly on the Impact driver on SGI
Octane, which is about our only supported machine capable of reasonably using
this software.

And, in response to comment #6, upstream is likely to say "piss off" since it
would require somebody with the appropriate hardware to debug this.

If it works for you guys, that's fine, and you are welcome to package.keyword
it and be happy.
