Porteus-v4.0 bug reports

[donald]

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

[ncmprhnsbl]

so yeah, it seems libdvdread needs compile configure arg: --with-libdvdcss (and have libdvdcss installed in build enviroment)
and
mpv needs needs compile configure args: --enable-dvdnav --enable-dvdread
but even after doing this, i get:

Code: Select all

$ mpv dvd://
Playing: dvd://
libdvdnav: Using dvdnav version 6.0.0
libdvdnav: DVD Title: DVD_VIDEO
libdvdnav: DVD Serial Number: 30904282
libdvdnav: DVD Title (Alternative): 
libdvdnav: DVD disk reports itself with Region mask 0x00e50000. Regions: 2 4 5

libdvdread: Attempting to retrieve all CSS keys
libdvdread: This can take a _long_ time, please be patient

libdvdread: Get key for /VIDEO_TS/VIDEO_TS.VOB at 0x00000e20
libdvdread: Error cracking CSS key for /VIDEO_TS/VIDEO_TS.VOB (0x00000e20)
libdvdread: Elapsed time 2
libdvdread: Get key for /VIDEO_TS/VTS_01_0.VOB at 0x000046a0
libdvdread: Error cracking CSS key for /VIDEO_TS/VTS_01_0.VOB (0x000046a0)
libdvdread: Elapsed time 0
and so on...

i'll upload the packages soon to see if you fare any better with them..

[ncmprhnsbl]

ok.. disregard most of that last post .. i didn't have the region set on my hardware(used package: regionset for this)
seems rebuilding libdvdread is not necessary, just mpv:
mpv-0.27.2-x86_64-2_SBo.xzm
note: this build may be missing some of the configure args in the original mpv
these are what i used: (in a SlackBuild)

Code: Select all

./waf configure \
  --prefix=/usr \
  --libdir=/usr/lib${LIBDIRSUFFIX} \
  --confdir=/etc/$PRGNAM \
  --mandir=/usr/man \
  --docdir=/usr/doc/$PRGNAM-$VERSION \
  --enable-dvdnav \
  --enable-dvdread \
  --enable-libmpv-shared \

@ 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.

[n0ctilucient]

no DVD-menu

One of the downsides of not using Xine.

However, if you have an MPV search bar... it looks like you're in business

Yes... I know Xine is ugly (there is a Xine Gtk frontend).

But Xine is also very versatile.

I was using the gnome-mpv front end. Looks like some recent activity on their github too. The dependencies are?
glib >= 2.44
gtk >= 3.18[2]
mpv >= 0.27
epoxy
lua (optional)
youtube-dl (optional)

It's the only one that will go with xfce.

seems this limitation will remain:
https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/commi ... eea22071f8
https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/issues/3345
the reasoning being that dvdread/nav don't do it well enough, so disable the function altogether..

gnome-mpv is a nice gui(it's in cinnamon,mate,kde modules) but it's still quite minimal in comparison to gnome-mplayer/mplayer combination..
for example, opening a dvd (via menu)requires > open location>type: dvd://
@donald, although we've solved one mpv bug, i don't expect to make you an mpv convert

[donald]

Well, solving this main bug was important because almost all DVDs
are css (Content Scramble System) encrypted - so far so 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 front end isn't a bad idea to get a bit of comfort.

....to make you an mpv convert

No way..

so far, i havn't had any joy getting gnome-mpv to work in xfce, either by extracting jssouzas from cinnamon or compiling a fresh version..
getting segfault crash on startup:

Code: Select all

$ gnome-mpv
Non-C locale detected. This is not supported.
Call 'setlocale(LC_NUMERIC, "C");' in your code.
Segmentation fault

[tome]

@ncm
You need:
/etc/profile.d/gmpv.csh and and /etc/profile.d/gmpv.sh:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash

export LC_NUMERIC=C 

[ncmprhnsbl]

@ncm
You need:
/etc/profile.d/gmpv.csh and and /etc/profile.d/gmpv.sh:

thanks tome, that was it
Gnome-mpv-0.14 for xfce (and others)

[donald]

new problem (scenario)
guest account > you have to edit/create a file with root permission >
open folder with thunar (root) > edit/create/save file in mousepad (root)
> it creates a "user" file with root permission in
/tmp/xdg-runtime-guest/dconf/
This file is not removed after mousepad (root) is closed
and will prevent gnome-mpv from starting.
(unable to create file '/tmp/xdg-runtime-guest/dconf/user': Permission denied)

@ ncmprhnsbl
Have you tried to start gnome-mpv from its .desktop file (menu entry)?

[ncmprhnsbl]

new problem (scenario) .....

this sounds like something that came up in cinnamon or mate, and had to do with login shells or something..
long story short: thunar roots' .desktop Exec line needs : gksu -l
hopefully, this then carries over to mousepad and creates the correct(root) user dconf/xdg file..

fairly sure i started gnome-mpv from menu, although not in xfce only in my openbox setup.. i assumed it should work elsewhere..
forgot to mention: if you activate it after bootup, you need to logout for the new enviroment variable to load

[donald]

...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 (root)

Exec=/opt/porteus-scripts/xorg/psu "dbus-launch --exit-with-session thunar %F"
to
Exec=gksu -l "dbus-launch --exit-with-session thunar %F"
and also in Thunar's custom actions.

I made some tests and the problem seems to be gone.

I had problem with GSM USB dongle (on 2 laptops)- it didn't show available networks and connections. I installed tcl an tk once and now after reboot it works without tcl and tk. Strange but good to know.
