Created attachment 53473 [details] helixplayer-1.0.1-r1.ebuild An ebuild which adds a menu entry.
Actually you should install the different icons at different dimensions into hicolor structure and then use them in the .desktop file (using only hxplay as icon name, without extension and dimension, so that icon themes can replace it).
Created attachment 53965 [details, diff] helixplayer-1.0.1.patch Ok this patch installs the icons of helixplayers in the hicolor structure, named hxplay to help icon themes' creators. I've also added commented code to make it install icons for mimetypes, but as they aren't installed, i had preferred to not install that cruft. The .desktop file used is the official one, with the icon name changed to remove the .png extension, as it has far more translation and is complete. HTH
Created attachment 54017 [details, diff] helixplayer-1.0.1.patch (with blocking of -bin) As per bug #81753, this patch also blocks -bin package to be merged, as they collide.
fixed in cvs, thanks
