 |
|
Hi all,
I've been recklessly adding tags to /etc/portage/package.use for mplayer, but still can't seem to find the one that will give me window tabs (file, edit, etc. drop-down-tabs). Same thing for VLC. i assume it's an easy fix, but i didn't want to keep throwing in flags and end up compiling lots of stuff i don't actually want.
| Code: | | media-video/mplayer jpeg opengl png quicktime rar real dvd radio win32codecs gif xv mp3 xanim xvid xvmc zoran xinerama x264 sdl |
btw, emerge ignores the win32codecs and i'm not sure why. any ideas? i'm running 64-bit on a Q6600 if that makes any difference.
thanks,
ivan |

Try running gmplayer instead of mplayer.

I can recommend you to try smplayer, an alternative graphical frontend to mplayer, much better than gmplayer, in my opinion.
The win32codecs useflag installs 32-bit codecs, which will only work with a 32-bits mplayer. So on a 64-bits profile, that only works with mplayer-bin.

There are now the amd64codecs to use with an 64bit version of Mplayer.
And yes SMplayer is very cool and much better than gmplayer though it needs qt so isn't the ideal solution for gnome enviroments. |

For vlc you probably want one of these at least: USE="wxwindows qt4". For mplayer, there's only gmplayer, which has no menus like the ones you describe. Gmplayer is too buggy for my taste. I don't use it. Instead you can emerge kmplayer, kplayer or whatever you preffer.

Well, you can't use 32 bits codecs on a 64 bit mplayer, which is why that flag is hardcoded in the profile, and you can't change it. Mplayer doesn't need it to play most stuff, anyway. If you really need it, you can use mplayer-bin, which is a 32 bits precompiled version that is in portage. |
