Porteus

How about a version of https://mpv.io/ for Porteus. Seems to run leaner than the others and the interface can be configured to be less intrusive.

Hello Walter. Why don't you just build it from source? There is a slackware link to a git.

I tried to, but just ended up a little confused ...

Just tell us about your confusion, there will surely be help from knowledgeable users. Is it git terminology and software?

Hello

I tried to build a module MPV program in USM.
USM offers only MPV-0.10.0-x86_64-1_slack.
The remaining addiction: it is one big mess.
Eventually I managed to assemble MPV version 0.15.0-x86_64

Requires:

celt-0.11.1-x86_64-1gv.xzm
ffmpeg-2.6.3-x86_64_custom-9_slack.xzm
gnutls-3.3.17.1-x86_64-1_slack14.1.xzm

Thanks ztrapl.

I didn't demand, I requested, thanks for the response .. I haven't been back to this forum since I posted that msg.

"Just tell us about your confusion, there will surely be help from knowledgeable users. Is it git terminology and software?"

I'm just not familiar enough with the tools to build from scratch. I would first need to practice - a lot. Is it worth moving to slackware on my main machine?

I downloaded and extracted the contents of Porteus-x86_64/Multimedia/MPV/ into the porteus/modules directory, then rebooted. This is what I get on trying to run mpv:

'mpv: error while loading shared libraries: libssh.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory'

mpv is a module, i.e. ending in xzm?

If so, please put it in /porteus/folder without extracting and reboot and try to start from gui or in command line:

hi, http://slackware.cs.utah.edu/pub/slackw ... 6_64-1.txz ,you can start with this convert it into a xzm package and try to start mpv again

Will definitely give it a go, thanks again for all the replies.
