Only one problem, I can't play anything on either one. I have tried all 3 video outputs and I get nothing, renaming the 0.63 ebuild to 0.80 works fine and it compiles out of the box but none of them will actually play a video file!!!!!
Billy, as for your problem of it not working. Please get gnome-mplayer working first after that gecko-mediaplayer should work correctly. You can debug gnome-mplayer problems by using the -v or --reallyverbose command line options. As for the patch. I would prefer if you would provide a patch to configure.in Could be as simple as changing AC_PATH_PROG([GECKO_XPIDL], [xpidl], [no], [$GECKO_HOME:$PATH]) if test "x$GECKO_XPIDL" = "xno"; then AC_MSG_ERROR([xpidl compiler not found]) fi to AC_PATH_PROG([GECKO_XPIDL], [xpidl], [no], [$GECKO_HOME:$GECKO_HOME/stable:$PATH]) if test "x$GECKO_XPIDL" = "xno"; then AC_MSG_ERROR([xpidl compiler not found]) fi But my libxul sets the variables correctly so I am unable to verify this fixes it.

You might have the same problem as i had: your mplayer doesn't support ASS, so you have to disable ASS in gnome-mplayer's settings (is enabled by default).
Okay, that was the problem, this ASS thing, Kevin, ASS should NOT!@!! be enabled by default. I think that should be fixed in the source package because anyone trying this will get turned away from this when it doesn't work out of the box. As for any patches, none are necessary!! Ebuilds should be bumped to 80 version and they compile and work fine. We have one problem if this is to replace mplayerplug-in. Gecko media player needs to build for both 32 and 64 bit plugins. Will file a separate bug.
The patched gecko-mediaplayer-0.8.0 fails with the attached error, if you have _both_ xulrunner-1.8 _and_ xulrunner-1.9 installed. Compiles fine, though, if you remove the 1.8.

At least on my 64-bit multilib system gecko-mediaplayer-0.9.0 originally installs the plugins in /usr/lib64/nspr/mozilla/plugins/, instead of /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins/ specified in 0.8.0 and earlier ebuilds, so the 0.9.0 ebuild needs a little patch to work: - mv "${D}"/usr/$(get_libdir)/mozilla/plugins/${PN}* \ + mv "${D}"/usr/$(get_libdir)/nspr/mozilla/plugins/${PN}* \ Anyway, this whole moving-around-the-plugins is very inelegant... Has anyone found a way to tell the gecko-mediaplayer to install the plugins to the correct place right from the start? Upstream?

I renamed the ebuild to gecko-mediaplayer-0.9.2.ebuild, applied the xulrunner patch and I get this: [lots of totally random stuff about NFS, 'C' locale, CORBA and ORBit (huh?)] mv: cannot stat `/var/tmp/portage/net-www/gecko-mediaplayer-0.9.2/image//usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins/gecko-mediaplayer*': No such file or directory Any ideas?
with the patch packages compile fine but gecko-mediaplayer doesn't appear in firefox plugins ( about:plugins ). We probably need a further patch work, it's a pity I don't even know where to start from. Anyway is this patch due to xulrunner faulty .pc or to gecko-mediaplayer faulty configure?
(In reply to comment #33) > with the patch packages compile fine but gecko-mediaplayer doesn't appear in > firefox plugins ( about:plugins ). I've changed some lines in the ebuild and now it is ok on my box ( x86 with xulrunner-1.9 ) original: #mv "${D}"/usr/$(get_libdir)/mozilla/plugins/${PN}* \ # "${D}"/usr/$(get_libdir)/nsbrowser/plugins || die "mv plugins failed." now: mv "${D}"/usr/$(get_libdir)/nspr/mozilla/plugins/${PN}* \ "${D}"/usr/$(get_libdir)/nsbrowser/plugins || die "mv plugins failed." I've simply added nspr subdir (and uncommented those lines) a few notes: 1) it works ok on my system, but I don't know if it depends on my particular configuration or if it is a more general fix. 2) netscape-flash ebuild (and maybe others) inherit nsplugins eclass and use inst_plugin function to symlink their plugin to the right position in the filesystem: maybe this could apply to gecko-mediaplayer too.
Gnome Mplayer and Gecko MediaPlayer were both broken on my machine until I turnend off ASS subtitle support. Try that if Gnome Mplayer isn't playing anything. This seems to be a problem for a lot of people.

Only do this if you're desperate.
0.9.3 has been released You may also want to try using the option "--with-xulrunner-sdk=[path to sdk]" and not using the auto detection of libxul and friends. I realize this issue is annoying, but it seems that every distro has a different way of distributing the firefox/xulrunner/whatever base libs. And every one is broken in a different way (that is why there at 8 different checks for the base libs, which as a developer is annoying). I will be willing to even add patches upstream, but they have to be clean.

I can add it to my overlay, bu there is a problem: both gnome-mplayer and gecko-mplayer make access violation in sandbox. And I don't really know how to handle it yet. ACCESS DENIED open_wr: /root/.gconf/.testing.writeability ACCESS DENIED unlink: /root/.gconf/.testing.writeability
Some changes have been made to the gecko-mediaplayer SVN that should help with compilation issues. Please let me know if there are issues.
xulrunner-1.9 compile issues are resolved in SVN r263.
Created attachment 177594 [details] gnome-mplayer live svn ebuild
Created attachment 177595 [details] gecko-mediaplayer live svn ebuild
Ive attached some basic live ebuilds for both packages (essentially the same as the ones posted for version 0.9.3) to aid testing. Both appear to build ok, but still fail with sandbox errors as of gecko-mediaplayer rev. 270 and gnome-mplayer rev. 1091. Sanbox errors are the same as in post 57 above for both programs.
I just a committed a huge change to SVN that moves the plugin from XPCom to npruntime so you may want to make sure your SVN ebuild still works. It looks like it should, but suggest that you test.
Both still appear to compile fine, however both still fail to install because of sandbox violations while trying to check that ${HOME}/.gconf is writable. Unfortunately because of this i cant test functionality, hopefully these errors can be fixed, im guessing its something in the makefiles triggering the sandbox violation.
I don't think there is anything in the gecko-mediaplayer makefiles that would be causing this. Unless it is the code that installing the schemas Might try with --disable-schemas-install flag on the configure stage.

(In reply to comment #65) > I don't think there is anything in the gecko-mediaplayer makefiles that would > be causing this. Unless it is the code that installing the schemas Actually it is. Look at sandbox-violation-0.9.3.patch I looked how other gnome apps handle that (i.e. evince) and this is the difference. Also man gconftool2 advice against this use. Now both ebuilds should work, sorry guys for not fixing it in first place. Somehow paludis is not keen to stop package installation with sandbox violation.
Sandbox violation patch applied to upstream gnome-mplayer and gecko-mediaplayer
I can confirm that both now build and install ok, however when gnome-mplayer is started it immediately segfaults. 0.6.3 used to work fine so its something that has changed since then and the current contents of svn,
Nick, open a bug here: http://code.google.com/p/gnome-mplayer/issues/list For the gnome-mplayer issue, and if I can dup I'll probably have it fixed today.

Created attachment 181412 [details] gecko-mediaplayer-0.9.4.ebuild This ebuild seems to work for 0.9.4 version of gecko mediaplayer. I'm not sure of where I got it, I believe I renamed an older version but it seems to work fine. I don't believe any of the patches from 9.3 are necessary.
Created attachment 181483 [details, diff] Diff against gnome-mplayer-0.9.4.ebuild id=181220 (In reply to comment #77) > I made a few changes in the ebuild for 0.9.4: Thanks for the update - i've just successfully used a variation of it; Mostly regressions, i'm afraid. 1. I re-included the required dependency on >=sys-apps/dbus-0.95 2. I removed the unnecessary dependency on gnome-base/gvfs - the GIO-mechanisms are provided by dev-libs/glib alone. 3. Since GIO-capability is available from a mandatory dependency, i re-enforced the --with-gio configure-switch and removed the conditional-check for it against the gnome USE-flag - maybe a gio USE-flag could be added, but i don't know what --without-gio does to performance... I also reduced the glib minimum-version to 2.14 as specified in configure.in - has it been set at 2.16 previously for a specific reason, and if so does that mean that the sources are wrong? (I should note that my successful build only inluded the alsa USE-flag) Slightly OT, the player has menu-options for DVD-playback "with menus",which would require mplayer built not only with DVD-support, but with dvdnav-support - are these conditions that need to be incorporated into this ebuild, and for that matter does dvdnav actually work these days? There are also TV-options, which would mean further optional features required of the mplayer-backend... So far, i'm liking this package a lot. I'll be trying out the TV features shortly, and hopefully the gecko-companion as well.
Addressing some points... 1. having gio does not affect performance except for remote files, gio is typically used for remote files such as files contained on a sftp server and such, also if you are using sftp file shares you can have a better experience if gvfs-fuse is installed as it will require less caching. 2. mplayer from svn now his libdvdread and libdvdnav in the SVN tree. However, libdvdcss is still an optional install.

Your modified ebuild will be broken for certain glib versions. So the source-code *IS* wrong, then? I don't wish to cast doubt unfairly, or sound antagonistic, but as someone interested in developing better bug-fixing and ebuild-writing skills, i'd very much appreciate learning how this issue was identified, and how to go about getting it resolved upstream, as i haven't seen any mention of it in the 'issues' list on it's homepage, or in the portage-changelog (official ebuilds use 2.14) - if it's covered earlier in this thread, my apologies for missing it, and could you specify which comment i should re-appraise? If the above is naive, please excuse it as a symptom of my bug-fixing inexperience, and please also help me to avoid making similar mistakes in the future by explaining my misunderstanding.
(In reply to comment #83) > (In reply to comment #82) > So the source-code *IS* wrong, then? The source is completely ok. The requirement for higher glib version is strictly connected with presence of gio library, which is part of the glib from version 2.16. By using configure option you specify that gio is present in the system. If user has lower version then there are few possibilities that depend on the configure script and how gio detection is internally written (and i did not analyzed that), i.e. script may fail or fallback to some other library. There is also another problem, when for some reason user will downgrade glib version. Application will probably fail to run regardless that dependencies are present in system, according to the ebuild. > If the above is naive, please excuse it as a symptom of my bug-fixing > inexperience, and please also help me to avoid making similar mistakes in the > future by explaining my misunderstanding. > Hope that above explanation helps.
The dependencies in gecko-mediaplayer-0.9.4 ebuild are all messed up. Does it REALLY need either seamonkey or epihany to work?
Created attachment 181695 [details] gecko-mediaplayer-0.9.4-r1 ebuild Ok, here's a (hopefully) better one, updated from the 0.9.3 ebuild above. I removed the now unnecessary src_unpack() stage & fixed the plugin paths.
(In reply to comment #84) > Hope that above explanation helps. It does - thanks very much. ;) It appears to my unskilled eye as though the internal calls to gio are conditional on GIO_ENABLED=1, which only happens if both --with-gio is selected _AND_ $PKG_CONFIG_PATH/gio-2.0.pc exists - if the latter isn't found a warning is logged and compilation continues _without_ gio-support, over-riding the configure-option (i think). For Gentoo, we could either make --with-gio switchable through a new USE-flag or enforce a high enough version of glib (2.16) as you had done prior to my tampering - we certainly need one or the other to avoid breakage though downgrading. What's our preferrence? As an aside, i was only able to determine when gio was incorporated into glib by scanning the gio/Changelog in a 2.16.3-tarball - i couldn't find anything online. For educational purposes, can you explain how you determined the minimum-version required, please? Thanks again for humouring my slightly OT questions.

I think the G2CONF-section would be more elegant with :- $(use_enable gnome schemas-install) ...instead of... $(use !gnome && echo "--disable-schemas-install") ...BUT i have no idea how portage's internal workings handle them, so perhaps someone better-versed could voice an opinion..?

What's our preferrence? > It's preference of maintainer or ebuild creator. I don't think so that there is some policy about that. I can add here that gio can give you transparent access to various protocols (i.e. ssh, ftp, samba), and that is why it may be worth to force little newer version. > As an aside, i was only able to determine when gio was incorporated into glib > by scanning the gio/Changelog in a 2.16.3-tarball - i couldn't find anything > online.

I develop simple apps in gtk+, as such i monitor releases of related libraries (and added features). Basically it's what you did, but done during releases. > $(use_enable gnome schemas-install) > ...instead of... > $(use !gnome && echo "--disable-schemas-install") As far as i remember, configure script did not support "--enable-schemas-install", which is generated by the default use_enable.

Okay - i was thinking purely of a negative flag-test, the consequences of a positive result never occured to me, and i don't have a system suitable for testing with 'gnome' enabled. Pardon the noise.
Strange, but this plugin works very well in opera-9.63 but doesn't work in ff-3.0.6 or konqueror-4.2 - they just show gray box without any gnome-mplayer control panel.
I've added the two ebuilds to my overlay: "yangman" from http://yangman.ca/gentoo-overlays.xml The discussion regarding glib-2.14* dependency is actually moot as it is not in the tree. My overlay contains the version which depends on >=glib-2.16, and always has gio enabled.

Version bumped in my overlay.
(In reply to comment #95) > Version bumped in my overlay. > Compiles and runs fine on amd64. Guys, portage has almost one year old ebuilds (0.6.3) from gnome-mplayer and gecko-mediaplayer. I have to use - not the same by the way - overlays over and over again. I think these ebuilds should hit the tree. Is there any blocking thing which prevents it?
gnome-mplayer 0.9.5 is out. works fine on x86
Created attachment 186238 [details] my 2 cents: gnome-mplayer-0.9.5
Created attachment 186239 [details] my 2 cents: gecko-mediaplayer-0.9.5
Seriously, why has this update been ignored for so long? This is getting embarrassing.
Anyone alive in here?
(In reply to comment #100) > Seriously, why has this update been ignored for so long? This is getting > embarrassing. Because no-one is maintaining these packages anymore. They are effectively maintainer-needed. Arfrever, do you want to step up?

From 0.5.x there were an ebuild to almost every version of gnome-mplayer and gecko-mediaplayer from bugzilla. And I thing future versions also would have. It's subjective, but I think they could go to the tree. It reported that 0.9.5 compiles and runs fine on at least x86 and amd64. Comon' guys, give it a chance. If it doesn't work, we'll report it here.

(In reply to comment #103) > Is it absolutely necessary that the package has to have a maintainer? Yes, someone needs to look out for updates and commit them to portage, at the very least checking if a simple bump works and doesn't produce problems in the CVS tree. I have just committed ebuilds for the 0.9.5 version. I'm not planning to actively look after this package (especially since I don't use gnome), but I can commit version bumps. Maybe someone wants to be maintainer-by-proxy?
This is assigned to the media-video-herd? Can't this be maintained by all members - somebody just jumps in and does the job as long as he the time - maybe just a day, and then the next day somebody else? Isn't that a way of working as a team?
Pretty please look at bug 266801
(In reply to comment #105) > I have just committed ebuilds for the 0.9.5 version. I'm not planning to > actively look after this package (especially since I don't use gnome) This is useful to everyone using Firefox (I use KDE 4), not just Gnome users :) It's needed for being able to see videos on sites that use "Media Player" videos instead of Flash.
Has anyone made tests with gecko-mediaplyer and Firefox3.5/SeaMonkey2 using qt toolbox? (I don't see why KDE users would want to build those with gtk2 toolkit)
Old closed bug is no place for such discussion.
