Gnome-mplayer works fine with mplayer2.... Cheers
i can confirm this blocking too, cu i use mplayer2 and gnome-player and it alltime tries to emerge mplayer at emerge -uDN world
These packages have the same problem with mplayer/mplayer2: app-misc/anki kde-base/mplayerthumbs
Yes you can use it as mplayer but for now there is no virtual or planned one. If you really want to use mplayer2 as complete mplayer replacement just write into /etc/portage/profile/package.provided something like media-video/mplayer-1.0 or if you want to use mplayer2 in console but want all the gui apps to rely on mplayer1 just use -symlink on mplayer2 where both mplayer1 and mplayer2 can be installed together.
Thanks Tomáš! The workaround, that you suggested, works fine! Cheers

Oh, well, I've put it into /etc/portage/ like the rest (package.use, package.mask, package.keywords). It works alright in /etc/portage/profile/.

Created attachment 268125 [details, diff] add mplayer2 as alternative dependency for gnome-mplayer This patch changes the dependency of media-video/gnome-mplayer-1.0.2 to allow for mplayer2 as an alternative for mplayer. Please merge this patch into tree.
the problem ist everytime if we make revdep portage unmerge mplayer2 automatically and emerge mplayer.
I don't know at which point mplayer got forked into mplayer2, but gnome-mplayer needs at least mplayer revision 29565 for panscan to work And I'm not intrested in mplayer2 at all myself, so feel free to change the depend to allow mplayer2 as secondary choice only if it's beyond r29565, if not, then it's a no-go.
smplayer works fine with mplayer2, and a bug related only to smplayer was closed as a duplicate of this bug. Therefore I humbly request any dev to at least merge the smplayer patch.
@Samuli Suominen i guess u are one of the dev :) her is a comparison, maybe its able to convince u to "interest" in it :) http://www.mplayer2.org/comparison.html
They are not all that compatible so there should be no guarantee that the gui packages will work for both. Currently they do what they should do, block each other.
@Tomáš Chvátal I'm not talking about making them substitutes for every package. The bug's title might expand your attention to the "larger context", but I'm talking about smplayer only. That particular GUI package works correct with mplayer2 and I'm using it without any problems. Therefore, it is IMO reasonable, to add a dependency-patched ebuild as keyworded media-video/smplayer-0.6.9-r1. If you think this bug should not be looking into any single GUI, but focus on overall compatibility, then perhaps I should open another bug? One bug focused on smplayer is already marked as a duplicate.
Either this needs to be parallel installable with mplayer, or it needs to be complete substition for all the reverse dependencies. Otherwise it will never get out of package.mask, and more likely get removed from tree.
It's parallel installable with USE="-symlink". Meanwhile, users of smplayer who want to use mplayer2, cannot remove mplayer without leaving the dependency unsatisfied.
Comment on attachment 268123 [details, diff] add mplayer2 as alternative dependency for smplayer No longer valid patch, USE=symlink is gone
Comment on attachment 268125 [details, diff] add mplayer2 as alternative dependency for gnome-mplayer No longer valid patch, USE=symlink is gone
No longer valid bug, USE=symlink is gone. Feel free to fix smplayer's code to accept either mplayer or mplayer2 binaries as they are.
Created attachment 268419 [details, diff] add mplayer2 as alternative dependency for smplayer New patch accepts either mplayer or mplayer2 without symlink. Please merge into portage tree. Be advised, smplayer's default config needs to be set to use mplayer2, even if mplayer not present.
