Is not very important but since my friends from MRB are big fans of mplayer I've try to build it, and eventually a porting for mandriva .

I don't know how to build mplayer backend outside phonon source directory. As I said, you can copy the mplayer directory from phonon-mplayer-backend source directory (phonon-phonon-mplayer) into phonon source directory (where are the other backends, xine, gstreamer, etc) and patch/edit phonon CMakeLists.txt file (as above). Here you can also remove support for xine and gstreamer if you don't want them. Then build phonon.

ok
I'll study the phonon policy on mdv
keep in touch .

Ok successful build for mandriva 2010.0
x86_64 the packages are available on
MRB, ( see my profile )
From the very first tests works smooth
alsa/pulse.
Thx m8 great work
mplayer still mplayer....
Hope you'll mantain this backend ...
THX again for your help and patience

I've try the git also
wont build on x86_64
( mandriva & suse)
Do you intend to include this arch to ?

Can you post the build error? On my x86/32bit machine I have to add the gcc "-fPIC" flag to get it built. I don't have an 64bit machine. And how do you build it? I copy the mplayer directory from phonon mplayer source directory into the phonon source directory, then I patch it. In the phonon CMakeLists.txt:
Quote:if (Q_WS_X11)
add_subdirectory(gstreamer)
add_subdirectory(xine)
+ add_subdirectory(mplayer)
endif (Q_WS_X11)

I'll try your ebuild on sabayon
keep in touch .
PS.
is a ebuild for emerge ?

Yes, but there's the "-fPIC" issue. On my x86 machine I use "use x86 && append-cppflags -fPIC" in src_configure(). If it fails to build on your arch replace x86 with your arch, eg. "use amd64 && append-cppflags -fPIC".

I've tryed a package request
for sabayon 5.2 here.

keep in touch

this repository is outdated, the project is active in gitorious and need members, actually one person work in this backend.

thanks for publish the source here, the 2 backends (xine and gstreamer) are useless for me to not have support for subtitles, audio normalization and native support for rmvb.

Good to know it's still developed.
