Porteus

@ fulalas Why I'm not surprised to get that kind of reply.. However, you do already know what you had to add or change to make the module nearly as good as the one shipped with 3.2.2. And even more has to be done / changed in the module. (hint: Thunar (root) .desktop file / custom actions) It's not ...

that would be magnificent - (if it were true).

completely out of context
a) 85MB single app
b) 20 vs 40 MB XFCE-DE module

What is the point of stripping down a module to the bone

and the sentence continued with:
...if you have to add MB's of stuff afterwards to make it work
like it did before?

Hello raja Donald, Have you tried SMPlayer front end for DVD playing? I did, for testing purpose. The DVD-menu is displayed but not clickable.(chapters/extras etc.) but more important: XFCE is GTK based and smplayer will pull in a bunch of QT stuff.. so I ended up with a huge module (~ 85 MB)..unacc...

...if you activate it after bootup, you need to logout for the new enviroment variable to load Yep, that's it,....gnome-mpv pops up now in XFCE.. :) @ fulalas in regards to the "user" file issue in /tmp/xdg-runtime-guest/dconf/ change in /home/guest/.local/share/applications/Thunar File Manager (ro...

Well, solving this main bug was important because almost all DVDs are css (Content Scramble System) encrypted - so far so good.. :good: seems this limitation will remain While reading the links.. ..any hope to get a player in 4.0 comparable to gnome-mplayer went away. Maybe adding the gnome-mpv fron...

@ ncmprhnsbl

Tested your module - The decryption (decss) part works..

Now we need some kind of navigation.
MPV immediately start playing the 1st episode of the DVD,
no DVD-menu to select the content of the DVD.

Nah ... we do it anyway, nobody cares,
but one should not be so stupid to upload something..

@ ncmprhnsbl Yep, this is the version i used. (libdvdcss-1.4.0-x86_64-2_slonly) This might be a hint: Configuration Options ===> The following configuration options are available for libdvdread-6.0.0: DVDCSS=on: Encrypted DVD support via libdvdcss ===> Use 'make config' to modify these settings may ...

Here's a Xfce module for you to test... Thanks, Mousepad now uses its color schemes correctly.. :good: If you need some styles files i could upload a zip file containing a pile of them. ...have you tried to drag the VIDEO_TS folder to it? Yep, MPV then automatically shifts through all VOB files (an...

Any security flaws fixed in the 4.0 version?

I have not checked in detail which of the new files are already
built in in 4.0.

I suspect overlooked or forgotten rather than ignored.

..we opened a release candidate for the public so we could hear your feedback before releasing the final release Yep, and the issues have been reported but were obviously,silently ignored. @donald, ...one of the main focus of Porteus: being lightweight and fast... There is a 3rd point: being useabl...

Thanks for being with me trying to find out what's going on. It was an interesting task/weekend,wasn't it? I'm still unsure why it doesn't work as expected..lol May be that the new version has been stripped down a bit too much, but because a solution has been found i mark this point as being solved....
