howto sce-deb2sce minitube.deb

[netnomad]

hi jason,

minitube 2.2 in the debian rep is broken, it cannot connect to youtube anymore.

so there is the option to fetch minitube 2.4 directly from the developer and his homepage.

how do you recommend to handle the dependencies of a single converted deb-package?
is there a way to make a dep-list or to include the dependencies in the package or even to make use of existing sce-packages as dependencies like in sce-import?
can i mix local downloaded specific packages with the online-rep in a sce-package?

i solved it in a not so elegant and convenient way:
1. sudo sce-deb2sce minitube.deb
2. i included every single dependency of minitube.deb in a base sce-package
3. your adjusted minitube-package was not usable, so i created the ondemand-menue-entry manually

my manually added, ugly coded, but working ondemand-menue-entry:
#!/bin/sh
sce-load ~/.TCE/sce/minitube.deb.sce
ondemand -e minitube.deb

thank you for your adivces and your help.

2 things I see here, one is a bug in sce-deb2sce that left the .deb extension on the resulting SCE.  Fixed now, re-imporrt  and test.

Another is that even in Vivid Minitube is old enough not to work.  So now providing a prebuilt minitube package that has been tested on dCore-wheezy and provides needed deps as this package is not available in Debian Wheezy.  Should work across all dCore ports, and will be maintained to the upstream current release.  Minitube is a favorite of mine and saw that it no longer worked in Debian/Ubuntu, thanks for calling attention to this and helping provide a fix.

hi jason,

i re-imported your package... it loaded many additional dependencies...
everything looked fine, but after choosing a video only the informations of the media are displayed in the screen-window, the play button is activated in the thumbnail on the left side...
these are the packages i downloaded or updated today:

hi jason,

i successfully used just that dependencies
that are mentioned in the deb-package-description with my converted deb-package:

libqtcore4
libqtgui4
libqt4-network
libqt4-script
libqt4-sql
libqt4-sql-sqlite
phonon
libphonon4
phonon-backend-vlc
libqt4-dbus

i added them to my base-sce and everything worked fine,
i did not need all these gstreamer-packages...

[Jason W]

What are the contents of your base.sce?  Please only list the package names themselves, the full 'ls -l' output makes the names very difficult to read.  Preferably just the list file contents the base.sce was made from.

And the gstreamer packages were what made it work with dCore-wheezy, and the package needs to work across all dCore ports,  but I will try to trim it down some.  So your are saying that the deps in your last post is all that is needed to make it work?

[netnomad]

there are a couple of ways to config or to use different backends for minitube: vlc, mplayer, alsa, oss, phonon...
... i avoided gstreamer and succeeded with phonon-backend-vlc.

[Jason W]

Ok, I am testing with a trimmed dep list, hopefully can work with phonon-backend-vlc.  I had an issue with vlc finding plugins on my earlier attempts, but hopefully I can make it work.  If dCore-wheeay is the only port having an issue with vlc, then that's ok as I don't think many are using dCore-wheezy at this point.

[netnomad]

thank you for your efforts :-)

[Jason W]

I think I have a keeper.  Removed the gstreamer stuff, but pulseaudio is required.  Please re-import and test.

[netnomad]

hi jason,

great job, everything works fine :-)

thank you for your help and commitment.

[netnomad]

hi jason,

minitube works fine, but since that update my 200-multimedia-jessie.sce-package has an update loop.

[netnomad]

hi jason,

there is still an update loop.

do you have any idea?

thank you for your help.

[Jason W]

Fixed by deleting the server side minitube.deb2sce startup script, which in this prebuilt case would cause an update loop.
