Dear puppians,

Gnome-player used to be a nice GUI before they shacked up with pulseaudio, which brings in heaps of unnecessary dependencies and results in slow/bad sound: http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=33725&start=0. Is there any way to disable the pulseaudio business? I tried configuring --without-pulseaudio, but it did not seem to work and I didn't want to spend too much time investigationg why. If you know how to kill those extra dependecies via a good configure line or a modified Makefile, please post instructions:)

With kind regards,
vovchik

Hi there

I have tried to re-compile the files not to use Pulse Audio and additional libs with the following:

Gnome-Mplayer 1.05

The trick is to compile gmtk without a trace of libpulse in your compiling environment and then compile with above disabling lithany gnome-mplayer without a trace of libpulse again in your puppy.
The configure.in checks if you have libpulse or its dev headers in your system and you cant disable it if it finds them.

I can upload my used gmtk and gmtk dev libs - gnome-mplayer-1.0.6b1 and gecko-mediaplayer-1.0.6b1 here or to separate thread if there is interest. The compile has been done in Dpup Exprimo

These are compiled in Dpup Exprimo. Gmtk is the needed dependency in newer Gnome-Mplayer.

About my compile. I suppose you need that lib. Probably you are using something else than Dpup Exprimo ?

Dear pemasu,

Thanks for package. It works just fine in my Lucid 525 and Midnight, too.

With kind regards,

Yeah, was installing it on racy-5.2.2 .

Forgot also racy has glibc-2.10 and lucy 2.11 ...

Nevertheless i am compiling mplayer atm too
for my version of vlc-0.9.2 does not show files without .extension in the navigation browser and would not load them .

mplayer does and additionally plays flash video .

My gxines do not play .mp4 and .flv at all .

Detected that moving the video vindow at mplayer would also stop the music if wait for 1 second, while vlc stops the video(mp4) but still plays the music moving the window . This also occurs moving some other windows not related to mplayer . LOL .

Was looking for something that might work better with these little annoyances .

Looks like i would need to compile other user-interfaces for mplayer some time .

Apropos libpulse , pemasu :

I have downloaded the source for gnome-mplayer from debian squeeze site 0.9.9.2 and this is the one that works for me best .

1.0.2,1.0.4,1.0.5,1.0.6 have problems with changing the video size (1:2,1:1,2:1) that does not work on the later ones . My Gtk is a mix of 2.14/2.16 and the screen gets messy with popup menus leaving artifacts, the buttons vanish with overlay of the main gtk-theme-color and others . Dont know if this is i810OLD Xorg driver related . Otherwise compiles ok on my Macpup-F3 installation .

Also there is a problem with the unpatched gtk source not having one or two stock-icon-names that are used in the gnome-mplayer source
gui.c
gtk_image_new_from_icon_name("media-optical", GTK_ICON_SIZE_MENU));
i could solve by adding
/usr/local/lib/X11/mini-icons/media-optical.png
from gtk+-2.24.x source
but not the missing "Open Location" icon (think it was something like "netwok-server" icon name ) .

And it was pemasus compile still having had traces of libpulse somewhere .

But this should not matter . Normally the default compiles by Barry are difficult to match being smaller, and why crippling anything ? I just compile with everything enabled but being to lazy to study configure --help . I mostly compile ./configure and am happy if this compiles Very Happy

.

Today I compiled several udevs with their dependencies like kmod,usbutils,automake-1.11,and 6 more , plus mplayer-1.0.6 again Cool

.

I dont think that on Lucy mplayer-1.0.6 shows the same irritating behaviour as on PL-4.3.1 , but will boot my 511 installation some day again and have a look .
