Re: [gentoo-user] Playing Apple Trailers

[Christian Schulze]

Hi,

I installed www-plugins/gecko-mediaplayer version 0.9.9.2 (masked with 
keywords ~alpha ~amd64 ~hppa ~ppc ~ppc64 ~x86) recently and this works great 
with the Apple Trailers.

It pulls in gnome-mplayer, which requires mplayer of course. I compiled them 
with the following use flags, just in case you need them:

 What's the trick for playing Apple Trailers these days?  It used to work
 fine years ago, but now all I get is a pop-up telling me to download
 Apple's Quicktime player.  :-(
 
 I looked for mplayer USE flags to enable it, but can't find any.  I did
 find media-libs/libquicktime, but I am not sure if this is needed or which
 video player will use it.

  I spend most of my time in vim, in the C program and documentation

  The reason I bring this up is that my account just froze on me from
  running out of disk space.  A little research showed that an
  odd-sounding thing called nepomuk was using 7.2 G (SEVEN GIGS) in some
  dotfiles.  It turns out to be a KDE client - whatever that is.  I've
  got a lot of space here and there, but my /home partition was never
  near full before.
 
  Put -semantic-desktop in your make.conf.  emerge -auDN world.  emerge
  -a --depclean.  That should do it.
 
  Is that even possible? Won't a number of KDE apps demand the
  semantic-desktop use flag set?
 
 Don't know, never happened here.
 
Just tried it, and the following apps are being recompiled right now:

[ebuild   R   ] kde-base/pykde4-4.3.5-r1  USE=-semantic-desktop*
[ebuild   R   ] kde-base/gwenview-4.3.5  USE=-semantic-desktop*
[ebuild   R   ] kde-base/akonadi-4.3.5  USE=-semantic-desktop*
[ebuild   R   ] net-wireless/kbluetooth-0.4.2  USE=-semantic-desktop*
[ebuild   R   ] kde-base/plasma-workspace-4.3.5  USE=-semantic-desktop*
[ebuild   R   ] kde-base/dolphin-4.3.5  USE=-semantic-desktop*
[ebuild   R   ] kde-base/kdebase-runtime-meta-4.3.5  USE=-semantic-desktop*
[ebuild   R   ] kde-base/kmail-4.3.5  USE=-semantic-desktop*
[ebuild   R   ] kde-base/kdeplasma-addons-4.3.5  USE=-semantic-desktop*

Let's see if it works.
