www.getmiro.com major update to 3.0 Reproducible: Always
Created attachment 228471 [details] miro-3.0.1.ebuild Changes: removed: miro-2.5.3-disable-xine-hack.patch: Hack no longer exist. (actually the entire xine backend no longer seem to exist) removed: miro-2.5.3-remove-pkg-config-list-all.patch: fix already included upstream new: miro-3.0.1-xpcom-path.patch: xulrunner 1.9 doesn't have a libdir anymore. Porting the code used for gtkmozembed_lib to xpcom_lib. new: miro-3.0.1-mozembed-realize.patch: Fix mozilla "wrapper no longer exist" error, courtesy of Ubuntu. See <https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/miro/+bug/537050> Big fat warning from author of this patch: "Here's a patch that works around the issue for me. It's definitely not a pretty solution, we just short-circuit the code that mozilla has to handle un-realize/re-realize. At the very least this is a memory leak, however it only leaks when the user deletes sites, which isn't going to happen very often. I'm also a little worried that the unrealize code is important for other reasons, however I haven't got xulrunner to crash in my testing."
Created attachment 228473 [details, diff] "Widget wrapper no longer exists" fix from Ubuntu
Created attachment 228475 [details, diff] miro-3.0.1-xpcom-path.patch Fixes XPCOM path detection. This fixes the actual detection code instead of hardcoding the path like Ubuntu did. (Their approach obviously won't work for the Gentoo way of linking against any arbitrary version of xulrunner on user's system.)
Note that there are quite a few ugly crashes in this release. But the crashes goes away once I upgraded QtCurve and deleted .miro/mozilla and .config/qtcurve. Backtrace for QtCurve crash: #0 0x00007f28a5671c9b in raise () from /lib/libpthread.so.0 #1 0x00007f2892f55993 in nsProfileLock::FatalSignalHandler(int) () from /usr/lib64/xulrunner-1.9.2/libxul.so #2 <signal handler called> #3 0x00007f2886f746e9 in gtkDrawSlider () from /usr/lib64/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/engines/libqtcurve.so #4 0x00007f2886f7b652 in drawBox () from /usr/lib64/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/engines/libqtcurve.so #5 0x00007f2886f7db82 in gtkDrawBox () from /usr/lib64/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/engines/libqtcurve.so #6 0x00007f28936eae25 in moz_gtk_widget_paint () from /usr/lib64/xulrunner-1.9.2/libxul.so #7 0x00007f28937094bd in ThemeRenderer::NativeDraw(_GdkDrawable*, short, short, _GdkRectangle*, unsigned int) () from /usr/lib64/xulrunner-1.9.2/libxul.so #8 0x00007f28937f2211 in NativeRendering(void*, _cairo_surface*, short, short, _GdkRectangle*, unsigned int) () from /usr/lib64/xulrunner-1.9.2/libxul.so A quick search on Google reveals that this is triggered by the use of colored non-flat scrollbars in some versions of QtCurve.

Thank you for tracking this stuff down! Is your ebuild good to go, or do I need to apply the xpcom-path patch first? (What are your impressions? This new version of miro is getting rave reviews from a lot of windows guys.)

Alex Bennee: It says you don't have the textoverlay plugin. You need gst-plugins-pango. If you type "gst-inspect-0.10|grep textoverlay" in command prompt, you should see something. Reinstall if you don't see anything. Or just install all the plugins just to be safe. Teng Wang: any error messages? 7v5w7go9ub0o: > (What are your impressions?

Yep, problem solved with gst-plugins-pango. I suspect that means it should be added as a dependency (when gstreamer is detected?).
So they've released 3.0.2, and they've made quite a few changes to the linux version: 1) using webkit instead of xulrunner 2) fixed a lot of the gstreamer bugs people had found. Blog post here: http://bluesock.org/~willg/blog/miro/miro_3.0.2_released.html Any chance this will make things easier to use on Gentoo?
Created attachment 235133 [details] miro-3.0.2.ebuild Changes: - Depends on webkit instead of xul - Removed all XUL patches - Removed all references to xine in ebuild; The option is not available in upstreams source anymore. - Removed gstreamer USE flag; It's now compulsory in upstream sources - Updated the "fix-debug" patch, which doesn't apply anymore
Created attachment 235135 [details, diff] miro-3.0.2-fix-debug.patch Minor update to the "fix-debug" patch
Wow. This time everything actually works out of the box. I'm impressed. Oh forgot to mention that I also added the gst-plugins-pango to the deps as suggested. If it crashes on startup without it, it's no longer optional. Please try the new ebuild. It really look ready for mass consumption this time.
I couldn't watch any video until I install media-plugins/gst-plugins-faad. Is it possible to add it to the dep ? I have those flags on media-plugins/gst-plugins-meta : X a52 alsa dvd ffmpeg flac lame mad mpeg ogg pulseaudio taglib theora v4l2 vorbis xv And those gst-plugins-* installed : media-libs/gst-plugins-bad media-libs/gst-plugins-base media-libs/gst-plugins-good media-libs/gst-plugins-ugly media-plugins/gst-plugins-meta media-plugins/gst-plugins-a52dec media-plugins/gst-plugins-alsa media-plugins/gst-plugins-dvdread media-plugins/gst-plugins-faad media-plugins/gst-plugins-flac media-plugins/gst-plugins-gconf media-plugins/gst-plugins-jpeg media-plugins/gst-plugins-lame media-plugins/gst-plugins-mad media-plugins/gst-plugins-mimic media-plugins/gst-plugins-mpeg2dec media-plugins/gst-plugins-ogg media-plugins/gst-plugins-pango media-plugins/gst-plugins-pulse media-plugins/gst-plugins-resindvd media-plugins/gst-plugins-speex media-plugins/gst-plugins-taglib media-plugins/gst-plugins-theora media-plugins/gst-plugins-v4l media-plugins/gst-plugins-v4l2 media-plugins/gst-plugins-vorbis media-plugins/gst-plugins-x media-plugins/gst-plugins-xvideo media-plugins/gst-plugins-ffmpeg Except this problem, miro works really good! Good work and thanks!
I think more dependencies need to be added for gstreamer. I had to install gst-plugins-good. That got me beyond one error, but led to another. So I just installed gst-plugins-meta. That hopefully has fixed it. I don't know, as Miro couldn't upgrade my database, so I told it to quit rather than continue.
The plugins in my previous comment were not sufficient. A lot of videos had no sound (particularly those downloaded from Youtube). I installed a bunch more gst plugins, and that did the trick. Don't know which one, though. Here are the additional ones I installed: media-plugins/gst-plugins-faac-0.10.18 media-plugins/gst-plugins-faad-0.10.18 media-plugins/gst-plugins-flac-0.10.21 media-plugins/gst-plugins-lame-0.10.13 media-plugins/gst-plugins-musepack-0.10.18 media-plugins/gst-plugins-twolame-0.10.13 media-plugins/gst-plugins-wavpack-0.10.21
After adding the gst-plugins as recommended by Beetle B, Miro works as expected. I have been playing with it now for two days and have not seen any bugs nor have I experienced any crashes. Good work Miro team! It definitely does look ready for primetime. I'm hooked.
Oh, wow! I've tinkered with my own ebuild which actually works but it's good to see that there's also one here. You should remove dev-python/gtkmozembed-python from the dependencies list as it's not needed anymore.
Oh, actually forget my last sentence, gtkmozembed-python is already removed. That was just a little Portage error here. No offense meant. ;)
<i>After adding the gst-plugins as recommended by Beetle B, Miro works as expected.</i> Yes, but it's quite possible that the plugins I listed have some extraneous ones that are not needed. Nor have I tested many video formats to ensure that some still aren't missing. I'd suggest a bunch of people try them for a while.
Created attachment 239283 [details] Simplified ebuild for miro-3.0.2 I tried to simplify this ebuild and fix the issue with gst plugins. Please check and test it, I'm quite new to writing ebuilds and maybe I've made some errors :) Changes with respect to previous ebuild: - PYTHON_DEPEND="2:2.5" added to make miro depend at least on python-2.5 and not in python-3, as it's stated in miro docs. - Explicit dependency with gtk+ and libX11 removed, they are implicit in pygtk. - Dependency with pirex moved to cdepend because it's needed to compile miro. - Dependency with pkgconfig removed because packages in "system" should not be explicitly included as a dependency in non-system ebuilds. - gstreamer, gst-plugins-base and gst-plugins-good added as dependency. This packages include the main gstreamer plugins needed by miro to play the majority of video files in Internet. These include pango, playbin2 and open codecs. - media-plugins/gst-plugins-meta added as a dependency with a warn for the user to check its USE flags for needed codecs. - gst-plugins-faad and gst-plugins-xvid added as a dependency through respective USE flags because they are neither base nor good nor in the meta gst plugin. - Additionally I removed the patches that remove the unittest option because that bug was rejected upstream and I think that it's better to allow the user to test and report bugs on miro. - Message included informing the user that embedded players on MiroGuide will not work because support of adobe flash is disabled. I hope it will be useful :)
(In reply to comment #22) I'm using your ebuild since a couple of days, it works well! Thanks!
I've also used it on x86_64 and it's working well so far. (In reply to comment #23) > (In reply to comment #22) > > I'm using your ebuild since a couple of days, it works well! > > Thanks! >

(In reply to comment #25) I think that the problem is that the patch files should be placed in a folder called 'files' where the miro ebuild is. Something like this: /usr/local/portage/media-video/miro/files/miro-3.0.2-fix-debug.patch Thanks for the feedback :)

It would be nice if you could try both high quality/def videos, and "regular" videos. Many people use Miro to subscribe to Youtube channels. So we should ensure that this works prior to letting it into the Portage tree.
(In reply to comment #28) Currently all interaction between Miro and YouTube got broken during this week because YouTube changed the API. That's been reported and a release 3.0.3 of Miro with a fix should be released soon. We'd rather wait for it. http://bugzilla.pculture.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13987
I just found an other dep: media-plugins/gst-plugins-pango Without it, miro is unable to start any (?) video (tested with the TED Talks and ZDF Nachrichten) and if miro is started in the console, it says : gst.ElementNotFoundError: textoverlay

I thought that pango plugin would be pulled by gst-plugins-base as the pango plugin belongs to it. Since this is not the case we can set the gstreamer dependencies of miro just in gst-plugins-meta and add explicitly the extra needed gst plugins (like pango). Thanks
Created attachment 240315 [details] Updated ebuild for media-video/miro-3.0.3 Now Miro works again with Youtube videos :) Additionaly, following the advice of Raphaël Vinot, I've been able to reduce the number of dependencies with gstreamer to just media-plugins/gst-plugins-meta, media-plugins/gst-plugins-pango and 3 codecs not included in the meta package by means of respective USE flags. The removed dependencies media-libs/gstreamer, media-libs/gst-plugins-base and media-libs/gst-plugins-good will be pulled if necessary by gst-plugins-meta. I've tested this a little and Miro 3.0.3 downloads youtube videos and they play and sound right. :) Thanks
3.0.3 doesn't work for me. It starts up but crashes before I can do anything. If I start it from the console, the last message I get before the crash is "Starting movie data update".
My mistake. It was an issue with my python installation. Everything works as intended now.
Bittorrent downloads don't work in miro-3.0.3 if I have rb_libtorrent-0.15.1 installed. It works great with rb_libtorrent-0.14.9-r1.
