Description Dennis Schridde 2010-09-28 12:05:54 UTC

DESCRIPTION="The SwarmPlayer is a browser extension for watching videos directly from Bittorrent swarms."
SRC_URI="http://swarmplayer.p2p-next.org/download/Next-Share-M32.tar.bz2"

Taken from README.txt:
RDEPEND="
>=dev-lang/python-2.5
>=dev-python/m2crypto-0.16
>=dev-python/wxpython-2.8
>=dev-python/apsw-3.6
>=media-video/vlc-1.0.5 ["with P2P-Next extension"]
|| (
  >=dev-lang/python-2.6
  >=dev-python/simplejson-2.1.1
)
swarmtransport? (
  >=net-libs/xulrunner-1.9.1.5
  <net-libs/xulrunner-1.9.2
)"
DEPEND="app-arch/p7zip"

Looking at the code code (using grep), it seems to require python bindings for vlc, so probably dev-python/pyvlc / bug #259745 is blocking this one.

Installing the packages I listed above (except xulrunner, mine is 1.9.2.9-r1), excluding pyvlc, I was able to get the background-process "swarmengined" to run. However the Wikipedia example videos were still streamed via HTTP. I expect the missing vlc bindings to be the cause, but there was no error message in /tmp/swarmplay-$USER.log, as there was when e.g. wxpython was not yet installed.

Reproducible: Always
