[edit] Howto Emerge MPlayer

my idea is to rationalize that howto taking informations from "official" sources. for example, what is the real meaning of flags dvd and dvdread? let's check the ebuild. 

...
dvd? ( dvdread? ( media-libs/libdvdread ) )
...
if use dvd; then
                myconf="${myconf} $(use_enable dvdread) $(use_enable !dvdread mpdvdkit)"
        else
                myconf="${myconf} --disable-dvdread --disable-mpdvdkit"
        fi

there are four possibilities:

  • -dvd -dvdread: builds with --disable-dvdread --disable-mpdvdkit
  • -dvd +dvdread: builds with --disable-dvdread --disable-mpdvdkit
  • +dvd -dvdread: builds with --enable-mpdvdkit
  • +dvd +dvdread: builds with --enable-dvdread; it will install media-libs/libdvdread as a dependency

then, if we download (http://www.mplayerhq.hu/homepage/design7/dload.html) MPlayer from the official site and unpack it, we can do ./configure --help to obtain an "official" description for each flag.

for example:

Code: ./configure -help | grep dvdread 
  --disable-dvdread      Disable libdvdread support [autodetect]

and:

Code: ./configure -help | grep mpdvdkit 
  --disable-mpdvdkit     Disable mpdvdkit/mpdvdkit2 support [autodetect]

of course, we should substitute Disable with Enable! :D

now, the question is: what should users enable? let's read MPlayer's official documentation.

here http://mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/HTML-single/en/MPlayer.html#dvd it clearly says:

New-style DVD support (mpdvdkit2). MPlayer uses libdvdread and libdvdcss for DVD decryption and playback. These two libraries are contained in the libmpdvdkit2/ subdirectory of the MPlayer source tree, you do not have to install them separately. We opted for this solution because we had to fix a libdvdread bug and apply a patch which adds cracked CSS keys caching support to libdvdcss This results in a large speed increase because the keys do not have to be cracked every time before playing.

MPlayer can also use system-wide libdvdread and libdvdcss libraries, but this solution is not recommended, as it can result in bugs, library incompatibilities and slower speed.

so, the best solution for dvd support is: +dvd -dvdread

please tell me what do you think... i know this is a big amount of work, but only in this way we can fully understand MPlayer's USE flags...

[edit] Gzip is a TLA?

I noticed that you added Gzip in Category:TLA.
But Gzip is too long to be a TLA. Should I remove Gzip from Category:TLA?
--AnMaster 11:09, 5 January 2006 (GMT)

I realy didn't mean you should delete it but it shouldn't be in that category.

Oh, thats okay -- if they can search for it, it doesnt need a TLA. :) Thanks for pointing that out SDibb
