I installed seekwatcher and attempted to make a movie with it. The program croaked, saying that "--movie" was an unknown option. So I went to the web site and tried to play the movies there. They wouldn't play, so I installed "mplayer" (and its dependencies). Apparently one of those dependencies is also used by seekwatcher to make movies. So I'm thinking there's a missing dependency in the seekwatcher ebuild. But I don't know which one it is -- I might try to dig into that later.

I added a postinst note about this. I did not put it as a dependency as they are not actually required, and they pull in a lot of stuff when you are using seekwatcher on a server.
