Mplayer-nodeps
« on: May 05, 2009, 08:38:41 AM »
Mplayer-nodeps has been updated to revision 29256.

Highlights in this version include builtin Theora support, and thanks to the awesome Xorg-dev extension, it now has XV support statically. If you run Xorg, you'll get the advantage of video acceleration and quite low cpu usage.

This extension won't replace Mplayer-xorg though, since it has OpenGL output support. Not many people need that, it's mainly for getting Compiz/Beryl to act nice with the video, and those wobbles haven't been seen in TC yet. The -xorg mplayer won't probably be updated unless a need rises.

sad to say it still will not play this ogg video: http://www.gnu.org/fry/happy-birthday-to-gnu-download.html the fsf can be stupid at times. they make a promotional video for fsf/gnewsense (which is too bloated to use and will never support anyone's wireless anyway... unlike tc which in all fairness supports everyone's but mine...) then you can't play the stupid video with anything (not even in linux) except vlc player in windows.

now maybe if there was a vlc extension (which i no longer care about) for tc... then i could play the video. but unless some clever person using windows downloads vlc, he's not going to be able to watch.

i love ogg audio, it's superior to mp3 and you can actually find content (somewhere) that uses it. and i'm glad that mplayer theoretically supports ogg video (i wanted it to...) but ogg theora is just worthless, up, down and sideways. i apologize for ever mentioning it.

LOOK AWAY

edit: (well i tried) don't bother installing the stupid *expletive* 18m windows vlc player and 10m wine for tc, because first of all that's completely ridiculous and second you'll have to bother with all that nonsense with tmpfs so that the stupid installer won't tell you there isn't enough free space. richard stallman can... why the hell can't they ever make anything simple???? tell me that!

I tested Theora with a sample clip from samples.mplayerhq.hu (theora-a4_v6-k250-s0.ogg to be exact). Too bad the FSF vid doesn't play, I wonder why when libtheora is open source.

i know. there's actually no doubt in my mind that your mplayer / libtheora extensions work. that video is a p.i.t.a... not on topic but i'm devoting most of my tc time right now to 2.x and i really miss your faster, lighter minefield. making do with ff 3, the dragging bug in minefield is just too much to deal with. i blame gtk2, not that i know what i'm talking about, but i blame gtk2 because it's there and someone mentioned it.

Updated to use a check for existing font symlink in home directory, creating it if needed and setting permissions.  This extension was made before TC was multiuser, so /home/tc was the hardwired path.  Now, using the startup script to check for and create or copy over files is preferred as it will not clobber existing config files, and also maintains PPI compatibility.  Here is Mplayers startup script for reference. Note that /etc/sysconfig/tcuser contains the TC user that is valid during both boot and runtime use of the startup script.  I will add this to the extension guidelines also.

Code: [Select]
#!/bin/sh

TCUSER=`cat /etc/sysconfig/tcuser`

[ -d /home/"$TCUSER"/.mplayer ] || mkdir /home/"$TCUSER"/.mplayer

[ -f /home/"$TCUSER"/.mplayer/subfont.ttf ] || ln -s /usr/share/fonts/luxisr.ttf /home/"$TCUSER"/.mplayer/subfont.ttf

chown -R tc:staff /home/"$TCUSER"/.mplayer
