There's a lovely little patch for MPlayer-1.0pre7 which I found at the cited URL which enables GTK2 support. I'm attaching the patch and a revised ebuild file which I used to compile it in (with the gtk2 use-flag)—it works without problems for me and I'm hoping it'll find its way into Portage! Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:
Created attachment 72062 [details, diff] the patch for MPlayer to use the GTK2 libraries Found at http://linuxfromscratch.org/pipermail/patches/2005-May/002288.html
Created attachment 72063 [details] ebuild using the GTK2 patch iff gtk2 use-flag is set KEYWORDS="~x86" because I've only tested it on my one machine, but I don't see why it wouldn't work everywhere. Also, it may need to be tested more rigorously for dependencies; I just have gtk2? ( >=x11-libs/gtk+-2 >=dev-libs/glib-2 ) but it's conceivable that the patch won't work for older versions of GTK2 or assumes more than these two libraries, libpng, and X11. But you wizardly folk probably have your own ideas on going about these things so I'm going to stop telling you how to do your (volunteer) jobs. Mad respect to y'all.
The gtk2 use flag is depracted. Gentoo defaults to Gtk2 when supported by upstream, otherwise Gtk1.
Awesome!

No problems here, and the gtk2 gmplayer is more stable and far more nice to see. Moreover, mplayer was the only app in my system depending on gtk1 (with gtk USE FLAG) and now I can get rid of that old piece of software. Thanks!

The new version of mplayer that is now in portage (mplayer-1.0.20060102) supports gtk2 by default. The ebuild wrongly claims a dependency on gtk1.
With an reference to the last comment. Could someone please fix the ebuilds dependency? Currently mplayer is the only application on my system that want to pull gtk1 in, and since it does not need it with the cvs-snapshot it is somewhat annoying.
I can't find a the executable for startup with gui. Where should it be and how is it supposed to be called?

okay problem was that I builded with -gtk and gtk2.. gui is builed only with gtk AND gtk2 USE FLAGS..
That's because the gtk flag specifies GTK support. the gtk2 flag means "use GTK2 if GTK support is enabled and the program supports both GTK1 and GTK2".
(In reply to comment #11) > That's because the gtk flag specifies GTK support. the gtk2 flag means "use > GTK2 if GTK support is enabled and the program supports both GTK1 and GTK2". > I think it is time for you to update you knowledge of the USE-flags. A couple of months ago the default action for the gtk USE-flag became "Use gtk+2 if avaible, else use gtk" and there was ALOT of package-updating with this change... Ceck out bug #106560 and http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.gentoo.devel/31638 for more info about the "gtk2 use flag deprecation".
Hmm, gtk2 USE flag may be depricated, but the gtk2 patch is completely unsupported by the mplayer developers, so it would be preferrable not to have this patch in by default. Maybe another local use flag would be more appropiate?
GTK2 is now the default in the package.mask'ed media-video/mplayer-1.0.20060102
And now that mplayer-1.0.20060217 uses GTK2 only and has been marked stable, I daresay this bug should be closed?
