mplayer plugin

So, I noticed this on an emerge

!!! Multiple package instances within a single package slot have been pulled
!!! into the dependency graph, resulting in a slot conflict:

www-client/mozilla-firefox:0

('ebuild', '/', 'www-client/mozilla-firefox-2.0.0.19', 'merge') pulled in by
=www-client/mozilla-firefox-2* required by ('installed', '/',
'net-www/mplayerplug-in-3.50', 'nomerge')
(and 1 more)

('installed', '/', 'www-client/mozilla-firefox-3.0.5', 'nomerge') pulled in
by
www-client/mozilla-firefox required by world

So, I interpret this as the mplayer plugin not being available for firefox
3.0, which is why it's pulling in the 2.0 stream. So, my best solution is
probably just to uninstall the mplayer plugin, is that right?

It seems to work fine in firefox 3.0. If I want to run the risk and keep it,
is masking out firefox 2.0 the way to go?

Thanks,
Mike

After getting fed up with emerge/compile issues with mplayerplug-in i
switched to net-www/gecko-mediaplayer and it seems to work okay.

Perhaps the better solution is to move to the new gecko-mediaplayer which is
built for firefox 3 and is the successor to mplayer-plugin.

It's because you're trying to emerge it with the firefox USE flag. Remove
that from make.conf and use xulrunner instead.

Hi,

since I am using net-www/netscape-flash-10.0.21.1_alpha ~amd64 I did not
have the need to install mplayerplug-in anymore. I would try the
mplayerplug-in-3.55.
Have a look at xulrunner. It might be causing the downgread problem.

I have both USE flags and have *noticed* any problems. However, I
prefer to avoid rather than fix problems. Can you point me at
documentation for when one should have firefox and/or xulrunner USE
flags?

Running: stable amd64 and stable x86.
Installed: firefox 3.0.5 and (xulrunner 1.8.1.19 and 1.9.0.5)

thanks

You have noticed or you have not noticed? Either way, your original post
was one such problem. If you search the list archives for xulrunner you'll
find several threads dealing with this, including one in the last day or
so.

C.f. this thread
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.gentoo.devel/49430

I think the devs agreed that xulrunner > firefox > seamonkey

(reading the actual USE flag descriptions, which states:

firefox: Build against Firefox instead of Seamonkey/Mozilla
seamonkey: Adds support for the Seamonkey web-browser
xulrunner: Build native browser integration against xulrunner
instead of firefox or seamonkey

I agree the descriptions are already fairly clear.)

I ended up keywording mplayerplug-in ~x86 in
/etc/portage/package.keywords to unmask the latest version that's in
portage. This removed the block on Firefox 3.0 so I've left it at that
for now. I may move on to gecko-mediaplayer in the future, but that box
just doesn't do a lot of online media so it wasn't worth the effort at
this juncture to switch.

Hmm. I would but

msoulier [at] anto:~$ emerge --pretend net-www/gecko-mediaplayer

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!

!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "net-www/gecko-mediaplayer" have been
masked.
!!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request:
- net-www/gecko-mediaplayer-0.6.3 (masked by: ~x86 keyword)

it's masked out on my system. Is it unstable on x86? Use at your own risk?

It's ~arch for x86 and amd64

It means the usual:
new package, still in testing, not yet moved to stable.
It is most unlikely to break things, but like all packages does go through the
process. If you want to try it, put it in your packages.keywords

Im currently running live versions of both gecko-mediaplayer and
gnome-mplayer and largely running without any problems. Do note that the
versions in portage are quite old, 0.9.3 is the latest release and you may
have problems with sandbox violations using the 0.9.3 ebuilds attached to
bugzilla [1], however if your feeling brave the live -9999 ebuilds do work
quite well.

Thanks Helmut,

Unfortunately it didn't help. I reset the download actions to their
defaults, but gxine still tries to run the video URL and fails (no
codex). What do you have under:

~/.firefox/plugins/

or

~/.mozilla/plugins/

This is mine:

$ ls -la .mozilla/plugins/
total 0
drwxr-xr-x 2 michael users 112 Jan 8 2006 .
drwxr-xr-x 6 michael users 176 Dec 27 2008 ..
lrwxrwxrwx 1 michael users 29 Mar 26 2006 gxineplugin.so ->
/usr/lib/gxine/gxineplugin.so
lrwxrwxrwx 1 michael users 44 Mar 26 2006 libnpsoplugin.so ->
/usr/lib/openoffice/program/libnpsoplugin.so

When I disable the 'gxine starter plugin' under Tools/Addons/Plugins
then all I get is a blank page.

In the page about:plugins, gxineplugin is above gecko-mediaplayer-qt
and I suspect this is why it is being picked up first. What's it like
in yours?

Mine is in the toolbar by default. It is just to the left of the
location bar and looks like three balls rotating. I'm not sure if they
rotate all the time or not but I know it does when in the middle of a
download. If you put your little mouse pointer on it, it shows it is
the download helper tool. When something is on the page that it knows
is a video, a little option for a drop down appears so that you can
select what to download. I know youtube sometimes has different
versions of a video, mostly different by quality. With that you can
select which quality you want. It is also handy when you have more than
one video on a page and only want one of them.

That help you find it? I found it by wondering what the little moving
balls where that wasn't there before I installed the little add ons.

Re: mplayer plugin [In reply to]

Got it. I clicked on the tri-color balls on the lower rt and it just
gave me a list of sites where downloads may be found. The balls also
appear above and to the left of the video window where the movie is
supposed to appear. When I clicked on it I got the save-as window. But
then I had to stop the browser and migrate away from the page on
account of my tiny bandwidth. But it works, very kewl :)
