the Open Source Helix Player is out https://player.helixcommunity.org/2004/downloads/ gentoo-ebuild needed Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
Please look at http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gentoo-howto.xml for instructions how to create ebuild files.
*helixplayer-bin-0.3.0.123 (18 May 2004) 18 May 2004; Joel Martin <kanaka@gentoo.org> helixplayer-bin-0.3.0.123.ebuild: Add version 0.3.0.123 which is the Alpha version, this version doesn't require fetch restrictions
Created attachment 33466 [details] updated ebuild This is an updated ebuild. It appears to work mostly - but the are a few issues that need resolving: 1) It installs into /opt/HelixPlayer/HelixPlayer - and I haven't how to work around this in a nice way. 2) Integration with mozilla is very broken - The plugin needs to be linked manually, and it doesn't seem to work anyway. 3) Are codecs provided seperately from the player? I get transport errors when attempting to play any live streams
There is a ppc version now, too. Would you mind adding ~ppc to the ebuild? The SRC_URI for ARCH=PPC is: http://forms.helixcommunity.org/helixdnaclient/index.html?filename=20040715/player_all-bingo-beta-20040715-linux-2.2-libc6-gcc32-powerpc/hxplay-0.9.0.254-linux-2.2-libc6-gcc32-powerpc.tar.bz2 which leads you through two license agreements to the tarball of the latest version.
This shouldn't be already fixed, as we have media-video/helixplayer-1.0.1 ?
I would sai I close it
