Hello
I have just tried to emerge the latest mplayer-bin (1.0_pre8) today and I had the same problem with the pangocairo libs. I finally understood what was the issue and found a fix for it. The 32 bits version of cairo libs are only included in version 2.8.8 of the emul-linux-x86-gtklibs package. However it is masked with ~amd64. Unmask it in package.keywords and emerge it and it should work. You will probably have to unmask and re-emerge some other emul-linux-* packages too because of some dependences.
I guess the ebuild for mplayerplug-in from http://sh.nu/download/ebuilds/mplayer/ should work the same now.

http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/elegant/program_d.html
when I click on any of the movie links the mplayer plugin loads up and says it is connecting to the site it then just says stopped and does not show the videos.
Any suggestions.
Thanks |
Those particular movies don't work for me, either, because the codec is not supported. If you try playing them outside of firefox with the command-line mplayer-bin, you'll see the error that the video codec is not supported. Try some different movies to make sure the plugin works, but I think you're probably just not going to be able to play those on Linux, no matter what player you use. (I could be wrong...) |

for those who prefer keeping binary packages out of the system, modified the mplayerplug-in ebuild to build a 32bit library on amd64.

| Code: |
-PLUGINS="gmp rm qt wmp"
+PLUGINS="dvx rm qt wmp"

I'm at the moment newly installing my amd64 system, a more easier approach would be:
| Code: | | emerge mozilla-firefox |
| Code: | | emerge netscape-flash nspluginwrapper |
| Code: | | emerge amd64codecs mplayer mplayerplug-in |
you can also write all in one line 
so no 32bit chroot or binary is needed anymore 
yay! GNU/Gentoo once again made my day 
I'm lovin' it (TM)

64bits proprietary codecs are not necessary anymore with the latest version of ffmpeg and mplayer.

I'm going to install Gentoo also on my notebook, but I'm afraid about 64bit.... what have I to do not to have problems?
I know about problem with firefox, mplayer, codecs, java, flash and so on....
Which is the best choice?
Thank you.
Andrea

Hi all I'm a bit of a newbie with Gentoo can any one help please, what am I missing.
I've tried what kernelOfTruth suggested but it doesn't work! 
If I go to the bbc I can't see any stream. Real Media or windows media format.
gmplayer shows ==> this Compiled for x86 CPU with extensions, though using cpudetection gets rid of that line.
ldd /usr/bin/mplayer shows just a couple of 64bit libs related to nvidia, opengl , and libgii.
file gives me this ==> ELF 64-bit LSB executable, AMD x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), for GNU/Linux 2.6.9, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), stripped.
Whatever I seem to do I end up stuck I end up with a 64bit browser with a 64bit mplayerplug-in but mplayer seems to be 32bit I 've added to package.use =>
media-video/mplayer cpudetection avi aac dts live mad matroska real theora xanim xvid aalib alsa arts dga directfb esd fbcon ggi libcaca nas opengl oss sdl xv 3dnow 3dnowext cdparanoia dvb dvd dvdread mmx mmxex nvidia sse sse2 encode truetype X nvidia
about:plugins shows me
mplayerplug-in 3.31
File name: mplayerplug-in.so
mplayerplug-in 3.31
<---snip-->
audio/mpeg2 MPEG audio mp2 Yes
audio/x-mpeg2 MPEG audio mp2 Yes
video/mp4 MPEG 4 Video mp4 Yes
audio/mpeg3 MPEG audio mp3 Yes
etc
<---snip-->
my make.conf
CFLAGS="-O2 -pipe" <<== should I have something else in here AMD athlon 64 3400+ (newcastle think)
CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu"
CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"
PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage"
USE="symlink"
ALSA_CARDS="cs46xx"
I don't mind sticking to the 32bit mplayer but I seem to get a 64bit mplayer plug-in, could some one please point me in the right direction. Many thanks in advance FM |

what about java plugin? does that work with 64-bit firefox as well?
And how much memory/cpu does nspluginwrapper eat these days? when I tried it last, it was a big hog and forced me to 32-bit swiftfox. |

I have not noticed anything about nspluginwrapper, except that the last version (really) works well with flash 9 beta 2.
Java plugin is for me the last problem of x86_64 on desktop, you can use the one included in blackdown-jre, but it's buggy.
