That error message is rather cryptic. Apparently, it means that it |
| 17 |
needs specifically the 0.10-X series. Searching through old threads in |
| 18 |
the Pale Moon support forum revealed that there are "major issues" with |
| 19 |
gstreamer-1.X support, so the build only supports the 0.10-X series of |
| 20 |
gstreamer and plugins. This is also a problem in Firefox, from which |
| 21 |
Pale Moon is forked. Fortunately, there are still 0.10-X series ebuilds |
| 22 |
in the tree. Just to be safe, I set up a local overlay with only the |
| 23 |
0.10-X series versions of media-libs/ |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
gst-plugins-bad |
| 26 |
gst-plugins-base |
| 27 |
gst-plugins-good |
| 28 |
gst-plugins-ugly |
| 29 |
gst-rtsp-server |
| 30 |
gstreamer |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
I unmerged the version 1.X gstreamer and plugins, masked out >= 0.11 |
| 33 |
versions and emerged gst-plugins-base, which also pulled in gstreamer. |
| 34 |
The Pale Moon build is churning along now, and I'll find out in a couple |
| 35 |
of hours how it works with h264. The web site... |
| 36 |
http://www.quirksmode.org/html5/tests/video.html has h264, webm, and |
| 37 |
ogg/theora test videos. I currently have webm and ogg/theora working. |
| 38 |
The gstreamer-enabled build will hopefully also run the h264 video. |
| 39 |
This will also be useful for Youtube in HTML5 mode. |
