Hi, Please find attached an updated mplayer-0.90_pre6 ebuild, that adds support for Realvideo. I added a USE variable named "real" in /etc/make.profile/use.default (hope thats the right place): ---- real media-video/realplayer ---- Best regards... - Clemens -

Here goes. Nice Idea, but I think we can do without the USE flag. Rather just check if the codecs are present, and if so specify the needed ./configure flag to mplayer. Comments ?
might be a good idea im not sure about this but you might just be able to tell it about it that is the path and not have to worry about it that is to check for anything cause configure might not even check to see if there is files there
http://www.mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/codecs.html#realvideo ---> "The MPlayer configure script should detect the RealPlayer libraries in the standard locations of a full installation. If it does not, tell configure where to look with the --with-reallibdir switch." Solutions: 1- Make a simlink to the libs installed from where they should be if they where installed in a standard location, when emergin the real player.(./configure automatically detects it). 2-pass the "--with-reallibdir" switch to the mplayer ./configure if realplayer is already installed in the system. 2 is better.
Question now is: where is the standard location ? ;)
well realplayer's codecs are found in /opt/RealPlayer8/Codecs just point to that path and your set
i was just playing with this some more and see that realplayer8's codecs wont work for gcc 3 systems it seems missing symbols or somethin so better have a check to see if gcc 3 is installed cause unless real recompiles realplayer8 under gcc3 its not going to work well for most
Hi, I'm using gcc 3.2 with realplayer8 (from portage) and mplayer-0.90_pre8 and have no problems playing realvideos with real player support patched in. One thing missing from the ebuild above is a line in the RDEPEND that checks for realplayer dependency. eg: real? ( media-video/realplayer ) I second this enhancement. I've been using realplayer codec since mplayer-0.90_pre6 and I can tell that _pre8 rv support is really solid. Cheers, Alastair
Somebody have the damn URL where you can download rp8 ?
I like my diff better! ;) It's against the pre9 ebuild.. Since realplayer-support doesn't add any overhead there's no need to make a USE variable of it IMHO.. If realone is installed it will use /opt/RealPlayer9/Real/Codecs, otherwise if RealPlayer8 is installed /opt/RealPlayer8/Codecs and otherwise /usr/lib/real so we can make a symlink there ourselves...
