• Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description butch cassidy 2013-03-22 16:03:48 UTC]

UMPlayer or Universal Media Player:  http://www.umplayer.com/

A modern and better front end than SMPlayer.

where are the source tarballs of the sources?

I believe they are here: http://www.umplayer.com/download/#source

 Sourceforge seems busy at my end though.

Also if you check the skins out:  http://www.umplayer.com/skins/

they should match up with pretty much any desktop environment at the click of menu option.

For what I can see I can only make a tar of the last svn trunk. Where is e.g. umplayer-0.95.tar.$something ?

I don't think any versioned tarballs are available, just a snapshot tarball from SF's VCS... not very ebuild friendly.

What worries me more is that the last source change was 14 months ago, I wonder if you can really consider this better or more modern than smplayer.

I'll find out some answers from the horses mouth when I can get through. I know there's an updated version available somewhere but I can't find it / get through.

If you can leave this open till I get some answers be appreciated. Thanks.

smplayer itself seems to have some files for this, see for instance

http://sourceforge.net/projects/smplayer/files/UMPlayer/0.98.2/

Looks like I was misinformed and development has indeed stalled, which is a shame. Thanks to Tom Wij for pointing the skins pack out,  I didn't realise you just dump the umplayer themes into  usr/share/smplayer/themes. Works well enough to give you extra options.

[Comment 10 Sergey Popov (RETIRED) 2013-07-11 08:29:36 UTC]

Development is discontinued, some of fixes was incorporated in smplayer and smplayer2. Reopen if something changes. Closing as WONTFIX now.
