pemasu: Let me know if this works for you; does single and batch mode. I disabled making new versions for the builtins.

edit: removed a harmless but annoying little bug.

[pemasu]

Thanks jpeps. I download it when the murga-forum allows the download from forum. It is now broken. As you probably have noticed...there is now something extra cryptic stuff in the air, lol.

[pemasu]

Jpeps. Now that forum has cleaned the dust from cache....I downloaded the Gnewpet and....IT JUST WORKS !!!
Thank you....
It will be handy and useful tool to create a pet from builtin database.

[pemasu]

I have now created pets for gstreamer support....and clementine deps... and tested my compiled Clementine (compiled in Polarpup) ...saluki compiled Clementine and even debian Clementine...all works.....It took several hours to figure out why streaming of Icecast or sky.fm didnt work. The reason was that debian has removed libgstneonhttpsrc.so from the gstreamer-plugins-bad package. And that was the missing piece for Clementine.
There is of course other ways to stream...but I just couldnt figure out those other ways.

So...my compiled QT libs with phonon and opengl support and installing gstreamer framework works like in Polarpup. At least Clementine is quite nice with its features to acquire artist...lyrics...images...information from the net using several databases. It supports now even spotify but public key stuff would need more investigation...key handling is not atm supported in dpup.

Today I played with videos my wife took yesterday from my son`s college old dances happening.
The canon ixus 210 took h264 video...which my compiled mplayer2 didnt play well. So I tested jpeps compiled version. It didnt play h264 at all.
So...I compiled this time mplayer from SVN and the compile plays h264, mp4, mov, mkv, xvid avi, mp3, aac, m4a.
And all testmedia files from this package:

And here is mplayer2-2.0 which plays also the same multimedia files. It is slightly smaller:

works better with exec permissions

[pemasu]

Argh. I fix it. Thank jpeps.
Mplayer binary has now execution permissions enabled. The fixed pet has been reuploaded.

[smokey01]

Ah, maybe my video's will play better now.

VLC is the only player that works every time.

Cheers

[tubeguy]

Most excellent!

[pemasu]

Tubeguy. Looks great, as your desktops always do...
Smokey01. Now there is at least choices to test.

I compiled the latest Smplayer-0.7.
It supports mplayer2 now and it has youtube url support also. Not as nice integration than in Umplayer but... Smplayer is good frontend anyway for mplayer or mplayer2. Pick the better choice from above.
If you get bored to the gnome-mplayer...give Smplayer a test. It needs Qt libs of course. Essentials or basic should be fine.

This version, mplayer2-2.0 isn't jerky like most of the others. The others normally cause the video and sound to get out of sync and often the video freezes for long periods.

There are still a few noticeable lines that flicker down the screen but I can live with that.

VLC is still by far the best performer. Pity it's so large.

jpeps,
Thanks for gnewpet. Like Pemasu said; it will be a handy and useful tool.

Pemasu,
Exprimo 5.X.13.5 SMP is running well for me, albiet I only use simple LAN connection so wifi is never a problem for me.

Just a small bug: /usr/local/bin/ppm doesn't work right when I type 'ppm' in the terminal. For some reason it doesn't want to work as a symlink. Making a wrapper script works fine for me.

et all,
I have updated my Iron Web Browser pet and sfs. It took me a while to get the sfs right; but I now learned more how sfs files work in puppy.
The pet gives you a choice to set the defaultbrowser or not. They can be downloaded from here:

[pemasu]

Thanks Tman of your Iron Browser update.
About ppm symlink. That is interesting. I tested it and noticed the same problem. The symlink is the way which comes from woof of from Shinobar`s. I think both have the symlink. So...the need for wrapper is something new.

Thanks for trying it

I tried the sfs version; it had a lot of duplicate libs, some with older versions:

In Base:
libavcodec.so.53 libavcodec.so.52
libavcodec.so.53 libavcodec.so.52
libavformat.so.53 libavformat.so.52
libavutil.so.51 libavutil.so.50
libnspr4.so
libnss3.so
libnssckbi.so
libnssutil3.so
libplc4.so
libplds4.so
libsmime3.so
libsoftokn3.so
libssl3.so

Iron initially loaded up, but after closing and trying to run again i got:

Code: Select all

/opt/iron-16/iron: error while loading shared libraries: libnss3.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Edit: Not to worry...the lib is a deprecated link in my remaster (to the removed firefox folder). An SFS of your pet package looks good.

[smokey01]

jpeps I really like the additions you have make to gnewpet. Being able to use both installed packages and builtin_files to create a PET is really useful.

It's great that you can change the PET filename in the new version space. It would be great if this also worked for builtin_files.

Even better if the info was gleaned from pet.specs and the version was added to the PET filename.

Are you aware of:
/root/.packages/woof-installed-packages

Is this useful?

I don't believe it would be easy to code and I don't expect you to do it. Just throwing some ideas out there.

Cheers

It's a nice idea...the petspecs are already there. Definitely worth looking at.
