(old)Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

Hi, I've been away from puppy for some time, just returned and have it set up with Icewm just as I like it, except I do like a clear task bar and there are 3 items I just can't get shot of. I'm guessing they're in the tray, Volume control, Personal storage space and Active interfaces icon. I'd really like to remove them but I'm damned if I can find out how.

Some advice would be appreciated.

I can't understand why you would want to but have you tried right mouse clicking on each of the icons?

Thanks for the swift reply.

Yep, gets rid of volume control but not the the other two.

Do you mean Blinky? if so it will normally quit.

Don't think its blinky, at least not the blinky I remember. No, this is a symbol of the earth with a monitor in front of it. Does nothing except when you hover the mouse over it then it tells you the active interface and traffic report, and if you click on it you get IP info.

Edit: Seem to have double posted, sorry, can't find a way to delete this one.

Fixed it, don't know how / why though, just reinstalled my old icewm preferences file I've used for years and this time the tray icons are gone. Strange.

Thanks for advice

Hi every body

I have just compiled the latest ffmpeg-0.8
http://www.ffmpeg.org/

Here are the pets, note that x264 and vpx dependencies are are needed, and all is compiled i686, otherwise too much stuff is disabled and we might as well revert to ffmpeg 5.2!

http://brainwavedesigncentral.net/micko ... 6-lupu.pet 700k (approx)
http://brainwavedesigncentral.net/micko ... 2-lupu.pet 300k (approx)

Your ffmpeg also works in Puppy 5.11 if grabbing libva and libvpx from Puppy 5.2.5


Thanks a lot!!!!

Does the mplayer work after upgrading to ffmpeg-0.8 ?

Does the mplayer work after upgrading to ffmpeg-0.8 ?

After installing ffmpeg 0.8, gnome-mplayer still plays all videos in my test suite.

However, the new files are libavcodec53, and etc., but the old ones are still there libavcodec52, etc. If I manually remove the old files then gnome-mplayer does not play the videos. Maybe I need to reboot.

01micko, please help us understand

Thumb rule #1: when you update ffmpeg, recompile mplayer.

GNOME-MPlayer uses mplayer, which is linked against ffmpeg. The library names differ between ffmpeg libraries for a good reason - they're incompatible.

In your case, mplayer is linked against the old ffmpeg, so you'll benefit from the new ffmpeg only once you build a new mplayer against the new ffmpeg.

Thumb rule #1: when you update ffmpeg, recompile mplayer.

Got it iguleder. Thanks. For information, the ffmpeg libraries and mplayer in Lucid 5.2.5 are 0.7 from medibuntu. Medibuntu prepares custom versions of the ffmpeg libraries for Ubuntu that contain some "extra" codecs. In fact the libraries have the name extra in them (the packages do anyway). As I recall one of the "extra" codecs was needed to play some cell phone video.

Micko is a master at compiling ffmpeg--it was his version that was used in Lucid up until 5.2 (as I recall). The reason we changed was to get those extra codecs.

Thats why I asked about mplayer, but I wasnt sure how closely they are linked. I made woof build with only new ffmpeg and using Lucid 525 Mplayer package taken from EZ-Woof-525. It wont work as I suspected. Mplayer wants the previous libav* libs back and also libswscale whines after previous version.

About Gnome-Mplayer-1.0.4. .desktop file needs fixing. %U needs to be removed from the exec row and give the whole path for the icon. At least it needed for me. Otherwise works just fine.
Thank you Playdayz.

Lucid 525 Mplayer package

On reflection, I think the lucid 5.2.5 ffmpeg is 0.6-2 from Maverick--that is, the libraries are from medibuntu for Maverick.

Thanks for checking gnome-mplayer 1.0.4 pemasu. I will fix it now. That's done. I have got to remember to check the menu entry and jwm.

ffmpeg didn't break anything (as far as I know) so I posted it. Mplayer (compiled from svn) broke the brand new gnome-mplayer, so to avoid confusion I didn't post Mplayer (however it does seem to work fine).

Those who know where I store my repo are welcome to give it a try , just be aware to get GUI you'll need to recompile gnome-mplayer.

EDIT: I can't get gnome-mplayer to work with my new mplayer compile. It compiles fine but it segfaults with a glib object error. Maybe a new ffmpeg is not good for lupu

Do any of the gnome-mplayers work? The default 1.0.2 was compiled by ttuuxxx. I may easily have overlooked something in the 1.0.3 and 1.0.4 that I did. Ah, someone could try Smplayer (from PPM) and Umplayer (from forum). Maybe better results there. Don't worry about the 1.0.4--I just thought it was funny coincidence that 01micko and I had done those two things at the same time without knowing.

Micko, Kevin DeKorte said the new gnome-mplayer 1.0.4 had 3,000 new lines of code. I am looking for 1.0.3 source.


I wonder if 1.0.3 would work better.

source for 1.0.3 -> http://code.google.com/p/gnome-mplayer/downloads/list

source for gecko-mediaplayer 1.0.3 -> http://code.google.com/p/gecko-mediapla ... loads/list

Here's ffmpeg-0.8 Note: It complained that an updated VA-API =>.32 would be needed for full API support. It also needed an updated libvpx to enable it.

Hey jpeps, long time no see

As I understand it we would also need mplayer linked to the new ffmpeg libraries, plus that mplayer would have to work with the rest of Lucid 5.2.5--the problem has been, again as I understand it, that gnome-mplayer/mplayer segfaults. You didn't have anything else planned today did you?
