[users] mplayer config problem and mplayerplug-in RPM

[Ben]

Now that I'm getting into RHEL6 a bit more I've noticed that mplayer doesn't
start for me unless I comment out the

flip-hebrew = no

line in /etc/mplayer/mplayer.conf. Additionally, the mplayerplug-in RPM
doesn't appear to exist as yet for RHEL6. Without this, totem takes over
most of the multimedia plugin duties for things like QuickTime movies and
therefore means that Apple's trailer site doesn't work (even with the User
Agent Switcher plugin for Firefox). At least it doesn't for me.

What am I missing?

I'm surprised that one is still around--I remember running into that
years ago, though I think it was on FreeBSD. Haven't had to do it in
years though it was quite a common problem some time ago.

I noticed this yesterday evening as well. I prefer if we can fix it from
the mplayer build, rather than change the default config file. It's
probably some special support we are missing somehow. Care to look into it ?

mplayerplug-in doesn't build anymore on RHEL6. But wasn't the
mplayerplug-in project replaced by a newer project ? I looked
at it once, but it couldn't be compiled on RHEL5. However I cannot find
the info on the website.

Hi there,

I've just tried doing an update of inkscape and come across the following:

inkscape-0.47-1.el5.rf.i386 from rpmforge has depsolving problems

It looks like (lib)gsl hasn't been packaged on RPMforge for RHEL5.

gsl is in centos base:

gsl-1.13-3.el5.x86_64

inkscape from rf installs fine with this gsl for me.

A quick look reveals the following when running mplayer from the command line:

The flip-hebrew option can't used in a config file.
Error parsing option flip-hebrew=no at line 120

... which seems to indicate that it's not a valid option. Potentially it's
not valid at all any more. Otherwise, there's a reference above the
flip-hebrew option in /etc/mplayer/mplayer.conf which references FriBidi's
treatment of ISO-8859* subtitles so this error is probably something to do
with the fact that mplayer was not compiled with fribidi support and/or
there is no fribidi package available from RPMforge for RHEL6 at this time
upon which mplayer can be set to depend.

That's about the limit of my analysis without spending more than five
minutes looking. Sorry.

Can anyone mention if they've got places like Apple's QuickTime trailers
site working with RHEL6 and Firefox, please. And what packages they had
installed to do so. I've found that if that place works, pretty much
everywhere else will too.

Thanks,

Ben

Pefect, fribidi added ! mplayer rebuild will enable it.

Wonderful. But shouldn't RPMforge be providing it if it provides inkscape?
This isn't a critisism, it's an honest question (-: I'm not sure I should have
to get a CentOS package to make an RPMforge one install, should I?

you're on RHEL5? then use either the gsl from RH, or the gsl from RPMforge. RH provides gsl-1.13, RPMforge provides gsl-1.14; look at your yum config to figure out why your system isn't seeing these packages.

That's very odd. I don't see gsl-1.13 (or any gsl at all) in my RHEL5.5
Workstation install media. I also have a vanilla rpmforge-release set of yum
config files and with those "yum search gsl" returns nothing but

================================= Matched: gsl

Where are you seeing it installable with yum (rather than downloadable and

Maybe in RHEL it is provided from some additional channel. If you want
to use gsl from RPMForge, then enable RPMForge extras and add gsl in
includepkgs=.

gsl package was intentionally added to RHEL-5 server only by
RHEA-2010:0199-02, closing this NOTABUG. If you believe that these
packages should be added to Client/Workstation, please contact Red Hat

Thanks.

That's https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHEA-2010-0199.html, for reference.

Seeing as I don't have RH Product Support (only RHN access/subscriptions)
this is as far as I go, I'm afraid.

Thoughts?

a bit strange since GSL can be very useful on a workstation, but....

hm, looks like we should build it in rfx for el5 then.

We could, but I would prefer if the OP discusses this with Red Hat.
Feedback like this is useful and the OP is a customer.

Noted. Although I don't have support from RH, only access to updates. I'll
see what I can do though.

gsl package was intentionally added to RHEL-5 server only by
RHEA-2010:0199-02, closing this NOTABUG. If you believe that these
packages should be added to Client/Workstation, please contact Red Hat

Where are you seeing it installable with yum (rather than downloadable and
installable with rpm)?

Maybe in RHEL it is provided from some additional channel. If you want
to use gsl from RPMForge, then enable RPMForge extras and add gsl in
includepkgs=.

[Nicolas Thierry-Mieg]

But shouldn't RPMforge be providing it if it provides inkscape? This
isn't a critisism, it's an honest question (-: I'm not sure I should
have to get a CentOS package to make an RPMforge one install, should I?

you're on RHEL5? then use either the gsl from RH, or the gsl from
RPMforge. RH provides gsl-1.13, RPMforge provides gsl-1.14; look at
your yum config to figure out why your system isn't seeing these
packages.

That's very odd. I don't see gsl-1.13 (or any gsl at all) in my RHEL5.5
Workstation install media. I also have a vanilla rpmforge-release set of
yum config files and with those "yum search gsl" returns nothing but

mplayerplug-in doesn't build anymore on RHEL6. But wasn't the
mplayerplug-in project replaced by a newer project ? I looked at it once,
but it couldn't be compiled on RHEL5. However I cannot find the info on
the website.

I've just tried installing the RHEL5 RPM mplayerplug-in-3.55-1.el5.rf.x86_64
on RHEL6 and (perhaps unsurprisingly) all seems well. No errors on
installation, and a whole host of QuickTime sites now work correctly
(including Apple's QuickTime trailers site, in conjunction with User Agent
Switcher).

What was it about mplayerplug-in which doesn't build on RHEL6? I believe
the followup project was probably "gecko-mediaplayer".

I downloaded the source gecko-mediaplayer-1.0.0.tar.gz from
http://code.google.com/p/gecko-mediaplayer/downloads/list and was able to
build it under both RHEL5 and RHEL6. I installed (after building) on RHEL6
and while handler plugin stuff showed up in about:plugins I couldn't get any
media to work and the container for the plugin would crash. This might be
something to do with the version of mplayer that gecko-mediaplayer was
trying to use (RPMforge's latest) or something else entirely. That's beyond
my skill level I'm afraid.

Is there anything you would like me to do (with my limited skills) to help
move either mplayerplug-in or gecko-mediaplayer on for RHEL6?

I'll address MP3 playback (xmms-mp3?) another time (-:

Thanks, as always, for everyone at RPMforge's work,

Ben

[Ben]

Now that I'm getting into RHEL6 a bit more I've noticed that mplayer doesn't
start for me unless I comment out the

flip-hebrew = no

line in /etc/mplayer/mplayer.conf. Additionally, the mplayerplug-in RPM
doesn't appear to exist as yet for RHEL6. Without this, totem takes over
most of the multimedia plugin duties for things like QuickTime movies and
therefore means that Apple's trailer site doesn't work (even with the User
Agent Switcher plugin for Firefox). At least it doesn't for me.

What am I missing?

I'm surprised that one is still around--I remember running into that
years ago, though I think it was on FreeBSD. Haven't had to do it in
years though it was quite a common problem some time ago.

I noticed this yesterday evening as well. I prefer if we can fix it from
the mplayer build, rather than change the default config file. It's
probably some special support we are missing somehow. Care to look into it ?

A quick look reveals the following when running mplayer from the command line:

The flip-hebrew option can't used in a config file.
Error parsing option flip-hebrew=no at line 120

It looks like (lib)gsl hasn't been packaged on RPMforge for RHEL5.

$ rpm -q gsl
gsl-1.13-3.el5.x86_64
inkscape from rf installs fine with this gsl for me.

Wonderful. But shouldn't RPMforge be providing it if it provides inkscape?
This isn't a critisism, it's an honest question (-: I'm not sure I should have
to get a CentOS package to make an RPMforge one install, should I?

you're on RHEL5? then use either the gsl from RH, or the gsl from RPMforge.
RH provides gsl-1.13, RPMforge provides gsl-1.14; look at your yum config to
figure out why your system isn't seeing these packages.

That's very odd. I don't see gsl-1.13 (or any gsl at all) in my RHEL5.5
Workstation install media. I also have a vanilla rpmforge-release set of yum
config files and with those "yum search gsl" returns nothing but

mplayerplug-in doesn't build anymore on RHEL6. But wasn't the
mplayerplug-in project replaced by a newer project ? I looked at it once,
but it couldn't be compiled on RHEL5. However I cannot find the info on
the website.

I've just tried installing the RHEL5 RPM mplayerplug-in-3.55-1.el5.rf.x86_64
on RHEL6 and (perhaps unsurprisingly) all seems well. No errors on
installation, and a whole host of QuickTime sites now work correctly
(including Apple's QuickTime trailers site, in conjunction with User Agent
Switcher).

What was it about mplayerplug-in which doesn't build on RHEL6? I believe
the followup project was probably "gecko-mediaplayer".

I downloaded the source gecko-mediaplayer-1.0.0.tar.gz from
http://code.google.com/p/gecko-mediaplayer/downloads/list and was able to
build it under both RHEL5 and RHEL6. I installed (after building) on RHEL6
and while handler plugin stuff showed up in about:plugins I couldn't get any
media to work and the container for the plugin would crash. This might be
something to do with the version of mplayer that gecko-mediaplayer was
trying to use (RPMforge's latest) or something else entirely. That's beyond
my skill level I'm afraid.

Is there anything you would like me to do (with my limited skills) to help
move either mplayerplug-in or gecko-mediaplayer on for RHEL6?

I'll address MP3 playback (xmms-mp3?) another time (-:

Now that I'm getting into RHEL6 a bit more I've noticed that mplayer doesn't
start for me unless I comment out the

flip-hebrew = no

line in /etc/mplayer/mplayer.conf. Additionally, the mplayerplug-in RPM

probably some special support we are missing somehow. Care to look into it ?
