On the 2011/10/13, avilla said about the phonon xine backend "we're not going to remove it, don't worry. ;)". I'm not blaming anyone, I was just surprised to see the phonon-xine backend flagged BROKEN so soon after. > If phonon-vlc crashes for you, I suggest building it with debug symbols > and reporting the crash in bugs.kde.org, and/or giving phonon-gstreamer > a try. I just wonder why it doesn't crash for others... the problem seems to be specific to the FreeBSD vlc port, or it depends on the OPTIONS I (un)selected. With an up-to-date multimedia/vlc and multimedia/phonon-vlc, when setting the vlc backend under kde multimedia settings, phonon says the vlc backend can't be initialized. The reason is that it tries to use an unsupported vlc argument : '--no-one-instance'. >From my ~/.xsession-errors : vlc: unknown option or missing mandatory argument `--no-one-instance' Try `vlc --help' for more information. PHONON-VLC ESC[07;31m[FATAL__]ESC[00;39m libVLC: PHONON-VLC ESC[07;31m[FATAL__]ESC[00;39m Phonon::VLC::vlcInit: Failed to initialize VLC I patched phonon-backend-vlc-0.4.1/vlc/libvlc.cpp to not add this argument (which doesn't seem to be used under Mac OS X), reinstalled the phonon-vlc port, and now it's better. At least I can play audio and video files under Dolphin's preview, and amarok does not crash at startup but I've got a nearly 2s delay when stopping playback with the fade out option (but there's no volume decrease) and also when pausing and seeking. I will miss phonon-xine :) RIP. >> What about WITH_QT_PHONON, is it still deprecated for KDE4 users ? > > Yes, Qt's copy of phonon has not been updated for years. > _______________________________________________ > kde-freebsd mailing list > kde-freebsd@kde.org > https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-freebsd > See also http://freebsd.kde.org/ for latest information Here's my vlc options file for the record, maybe the lack of "--no-one-instance" argument depends on one of these options : # This file is auto-generated by 'make config'. # No user-servicable parts inside! # Options for vlc-1.1.11_3,3 _OPTIONS_READ=vlc-1.1.11_3,3 WITH_A52=true WITH_AALIB=true WITHOUT_ASS=true WITHOUT_AVAHI=true WITHOUT_CACA=true WITHOUT_DBUS=true WITHOUT_DIRAC=true WITH_DTS=true WITH_DVB=true WITH_DVDREAD=true WITH_DVDNAV=true WITH_FAAD=true WITH_FLAC=true WITHOUT_FLUID=true WITHOUT_FRIBIDI=true WITHOUT_GGI=true WITH_GLX=true WITHOUT_GNOMEVFS=true WITHOUT_GNUTLS=true WITHOUT_GOOM=true WITH_HTTPD=true WITHOUT_JACK=true WITH_LIVEMEDIA=true WITHOUT_LUA=true WITH_MAD=true WITH_MATROSKA=true WITHOUT_MODPLUG=true WITH_MPEG2=true WITHOUT_MTP=true WITHOUT_MUSEPACK=true WITH_NCURSES=true WITH_NLS=true WITHOUT_NOTIFY=true WITH_OCFLAGS=true WITH_OGG=true WITH_OPENGL=true WITHOUT_PLUGIN=true WITH_PNG=true WITHOUT_PORTAUDIO=true WITHOUT_PROJM=true WITHOUT_PULSE=true WITH_QT4=true WITH_REALAUDIO=true WITHOUT_REMOTEOSD=true WITHOUT_RUNROOT=true WITHOUT_SAMBA=true WITHOUT_SCHROED=true WITH_SDL=true WITHOUT_SHOUT=true WITHOUT_SKINS=true WITH_STREAM=true WITH_SPEEX=true WITHOUT_SQLITE=true WITHOUT_SVG=true WITHOUT_SVGALIB=true WITH_TAGLIB=true WITH_THEORA=true WITHOUT_TREMOR=true WITHOUT_TWOLAME=true WITHOUT_UPNP=true WITH_V4L=true WITHOUT_VAAPI=true WITH_VCD=true WITH_VORBIS=true WITH_X264=true WITH_XCB=true WITHOUT_XOSD=true WITH_XVIDEO=true WITHOUT_ZVBI=true Cheers -- Olivier Smedts _ ASCII ribbon campaign ( ) e-mail: oliv...@gid0.org - against HTML email & vCards X www: http://www.gid0.org - against proprietary attachments / \ "Il y a seulement 10 sortes de gens dans le monde : ceux qui comprennent le binaire, et ceux qui ne le comprennent pas." _______________________________________________ kde-freebsd mailing list kde-freebsd@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-freebsd See also http://freebsd.kde.org/ for latest information
