RealPlayer has always been a pain to maintain, and this is going to make things simpler. - split realplayer up into two ebuilds: realcodecs, which is just the codecs distributed with the binary and realplayer, the second half of the binary with the gui player, with a dep on realcodecs (or just move the real codecs into win32codecs instead? It would mean having fetch restriction if USE=real) - use nightly builds of realplayer for version bumps; ignore the RPM "releases" since the filenames are unversioned (RealPlayer11GOLD.rpm), also since we are not allowed to mirror the files. - Remove media-video/realplayer dep from mplayer, amarok, needing only win32/realcodecs instead.
Elaborating on the reason: *realcodecs-11.1.1.1085 (07 Oct 2008) 07 Oct 2008; Steve Dibb <beandog@gentoo.org> +realcodecs-11.1.1.1085.ebuild: Initial commit, bug 240341; Splitting RealPlayer ebuild into two ebuilds: realcodecs and realplayer. Using nightly build snapshots since upstream releases version 11 RPMs as the same filename across different releases, and will not allow redistribution of RPMs. also realcodecs is in the tree now
(In reply to comment #0) I was just going to report that realplayer wasn't being downloaded and that mplayer (mencoder in fact) works just fine with realcodec, but it appears that this is in progress of being changed :) So... realcodecs works just fine with mplayer/mencoder, i did a small change to the mplayer ebuild so it would depende on realcodecs and everything went just fine!
For reference: http://lists.helixcommunity.org/pipermail/player-users/2008-October/000669.html ^^ Upstream knows about version releasing snafoos. I need to contact them and verify that the nightly builds are going to stay there, or negotiate a way to redistribute them.
Alright, so the nightly builds do disappear. What a crock. And upstream is working on versioning the RPMs. Here's my proposed final solution: drop realplayer as a dependency completely, but soft-depend on it if it's installed. The reasoning is this: upstream releases just one binary RPM for RealPlayer, which could be any version: 1.2.3, 1.2.4, etc. RealPlayer needs to be stable because its a dependency for MPlayer. However, I think it's stupid to have a closed source binary program be stable in our tree, and even more so, have one being bumped straight to stable. MPlayer just needs to know which directory to check for RealPlayer binary codecs when compiling, which isn't going to change, and won't complain if it's empty / non-existent. So, for those users who want RealPlayer binary codec support (from RealPlayer build, not win32codecs/amd64codecs), then they can just install it manually and then install mplayer. This way we can keep realcodecs/realplayer in perpetual unstable keyword status. Not to mention not have to scramble to stable a new RPM the day it comes out.

Masked real use flag for mplayer on x86/amd64. Still todo: - Have amarok use.mask realplayer dep - Move realplayer codecs, amd64codecs into realcodecs (and fix amd64codecs deps)
One thing that I've tested recently is that mplayer will decode rmvb videos if the /opt/RealPlayer/codecs is ponting to /usr/lib/real that is installed by w32codecs if using the real flag. $ ls /opt/RealPlayer/codecs/ amrn.so amrw.so atrc.so colorcvt.so cook.so drv1.so drv2.so drvc.so raac.so ralf.so rv10.so rv20.so rv30.so rv40.so sipr.so $ ls /usr/lib/real/ atrc.so.6.0 cook.so.6.0 dnet.so.6.0 drv3.so.6.0 drvc.so sipr.so.6.0 tokr.so.6.0 cook.so ddnt.so.6.0 drv2.so.6.0 drv4.so.6.0 dspr.so.6.0 tokf.so.6.0 $ equery b /usr/lib/real/ddnt.so.6.0 [ Searching for file(s) /usr/lib/real/ddnt.so.6.0 in *... ] media-libs/win32codecs-20071007-r2 (/usr/lib/real/ddnt.so.6.0) SO, IMHO, is better to link mplayer against w32codecs thatn realcodecs, thats give so much pain.
Alright, Here's the final setup: real use flag is masked on win32codecs, mplayer, amarok win32codecs-20071007-r4 dropped dep of realplayer realcodecs sucks down the realplayer rpm and installs just the codecs, also depends on win32codecs and now fixes symlink bug 240417 shortly, realplayer will depend on realcodecs, then everything will be done

why, oh why, now i need to use realcodecs with win32codecs when before i didn't need these?

Open a new bug for issues.
Sorry guys, but i emerged mplayer and it just does not play rmvb, thought it use to previously. I'm on amd64. The realcodecs are hard masked, the real USE flag in not active any more, what are my options to play rmvb now? Thanks, Marek
