32 bit MPlayer compile without 32 bit chroot?

Thanks Primer! Great work!

Is it possible to add this ebuild to portage? I think it's a quite important one for amd64.

Primer, could you update mplayer32-bin to the last version (pre6) ? That would be nice !

I'll try to do that tonight. I'm just finishing off an emerge -uDva world in my 32 bit chroot (over 400 packages). Once that's done, I'll put together a newer package.

Primer, why does mplayer32-bin want to emerge nvidia-kernel and -glx packages on my system with an ati card?

Installation went fine, but upon running it:

Where is it that you guys get your 32bit codecs? I've just been using the standard 64 bit ones that come with mplayer...

Primer: I got mplayer32 working, but when I was first trying to emerge it, I got a number of keyword-related masking errors that you might want to look into:

These aren't the ones I have, but there's plenty of HD content at http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/content_provider/film/ContentShowcase.aspx. I'll post my results from a few of them as soon as I can get them (they're quite large files).

Well, my machine can't play the 1080p clips at full speed - there's plenty of skips and framedrops. I think the problem is in inefficiencies with the WMV wrappers, though, since my P4 3.0GHz machine plays them with no problem.

The 720p footage works fine with mplayer32, though, and the T2 trailer at least (towards the bottom of the page) seems to be in sync. Maybe it was just a problem with the two older clips...

Why use mplayer32-bin when mplayer for x86_64 is in portage?

Failure

Primer · Posted: Tue Jan 18, 2005 9:55 pm Post subject:

The dependencies for mplayer32 should have caused the app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-xlibs package to be emerged. Ensure that it is in fact emerged, and if it's not, emerge it. That should fix it.

If it is emerged, ensure that the following file exists:

/emul/linux/x86/usr/X11R6/lib/libXi.so.6.0

If it does exist, then run ldconfig and try mplayer32 again. If that doesn't work, then we have a bigger problem, like lack of 32 bit support in your kernel or something.

Let me know what you end up doing, because there may be a dependency issue with emul-linux-x86-mplayerlibs.

Thanks for the prompt replay.

Well I emerged xlibs right before emerging your binaries.It's on.
Also libXi.so.6.0 exist in my /emul/linux/x86/usr/X11R6/lib
And finally I do have enabled in my kernel IA32 support.

ldconfig did nothing.

I dont know what else to provide?
If you have any idea, or want some specific feedback info tell me.

I actually need mplayerplug-in which I haven't tried yet.

After rebooting the following message appeared along with the previous one

Primer · Posted: Wed Jan 19, 2005 12:47 am Post subject:

Are you able to run any 32 bit programs? If so, I'm at a loss.

I hang out in #gentoo-amd64 on irc.freenode.net. Feel free to get on there and look me up and perhaps we can troubleshoot this more interactively.

If you can't/don't know how to get on IRC, keep posting here and we'll try to get it working.

I have the same problem with the libXi. I tried emerging the libraries but that did nothing.

Primer · Posted: Fri Jan 21, 2005 5:52 pm Post subject:

It seems that some new emul-linux-x86-* packages have come out. I've recently emerged the world (I use ~amd64, of course), and saw these packages in my list.

You do emerge using -v and check what's being emerged, right?

So far, my copy of mplayer32 continues to work. I'll investigate further when I get a chance, but unless I can replicate the problem, I can't fix it.

One issue that I've run into in the past regarding 32 bit emulation has been improper packaging of the libraries and having them end up symlinked to a 64 bit library. To that end, I have one suggestion:

I did an emerge world last night and it works perfectly fine. Now to get the firefox plugin working.

Hey, this is so great work - thank you for this.

Did you commit the eBuild via Bugzilla? It could be usefull for a lot of people...

Edit: the "all-20041107" was not longer availaible. I had to edit the ebuild and the digest-file to use all-20050115"

Edit2: I get this:
