This ebuild is for lumiere, which has promise to be a very good gnome media player based entirely on mplayer. Since mplayer can play virtually every format known to man, so too can lumiere.

Created attachment 7261 [details] The REAL ebuild..this one works. The first ebuild got autodetected as application/octet-stream. I HATE not being able to edit my own attachments!! Makes for one confusing bug report!! But use this one as it was submitted as text/plain.

MPlayer in portage have gtk2 frontend when 'gtk2' in USE ?
Yes...this is a frontend to mplayer like totem is to the xine libraries. Another cool thing about lumiere is that it includes a nautilus view component and lumiere itself is being written as a bonobo component. Plus, the gmplayer interface is just nasty if you ask me, and the very reason that a program like this popped up in the first place.
To clear up my answer about mplayer, if you set USE="gtk2" then you will get a gtk2 interface with mplayer.
we can do this, it's more filled with gtk/gnome issues then mplayer problems. Beta stuff.
lumiere-0.3.0 is in already, but its way too buggy and unreliable for now to move out of package.mask .
With the r2 ebuild that I released on the forums it works like a charm, except for the crash at the end. 0.4 should be out sometime not too long from now. What in particular have you found too buggy about it? I think it should merely have a ~x86 if you use the r2 ebuild. The first build that made it into portage was package.mask material.
i dont check the forums that often and hardly ever pick an ebuild up from it (mediocre quality usually). Anyway the fact that it always crashes on exit is good enough for me to p.mask it. Besides the fact that it relies on certain mplayer USE flags to even work correctly and we can't check those.
Thanks....just wanted to know as I keep pretty open communications with the developer of Lumiere. Karl
well, if you have an open line with him, pass this to him. If we compile mplayer without dvd support and use lumiere it throws in dvd commandline options, this throws off mplayer and lumiere does nothing. I didn't test this thoroughly, but it seems the reason for not playing vids to me. See if there's something to be done about it, there's no use passing those options if they don't get used anyway (i think it was alang/slang or something in this case). DVD is just an example here. ofcourse, feel free to provide ebuilds for fixed (newer) versions.
