Replace Phonon-Gstreamer by Phonon-VLC [SOLVED]

Hi,
i'm quite new to GNU/Linux and this is one of the thing i don't understand. By reading the archwiki article about phonon which makes you independent on any multimedia framework like gstreamer I switched to phonon-vlc backend since i use vlc and as i understand it, it should use vlc codecs in any multimedia app in kde. Obeying the simple arch approach i tried to remove gstreamer and its plugins because i don't want to double the task. But it surprised me that pacman wanted to remove half of my system along with some packages like truecrypt. Why? Whole my life i lived in this illusion that truerypt is a encryption SW, i never used it for playing multimedia!:) Anyway, what's the deal with gstreamer? Thanks.

I'm sorry, i meant the "-d" option to skip dependency checks.
But anyway, if i run just bauerbill (pacman) -R gstreamer0.10-plugins it refuses to execute because of "farsight2". If i run bauerbill -R gstreamer0.10-plugins farsight2 it refuses because of libpurple and telepathy-farsight2 and so on... if i run -Rs the same thing happens
so if i run -Rc it wants to remove kdenetwork-krdc spicebird telepathy-qt4 telepathy-farsight libpurple farsight2.
I tried the -Rc option and then re-downloaded spicebird and the other stuff but it wanted gstreamer0.10-base-plugins. Now i have these leftovers:
gstreamer0.10
gstreamer0.10-base
gstreamer0.10-base-plugins
gstreamer0.10-good
gstreamer0.10-python
gstreamer0.10-ugly

Phonon-xine break phonon-mplayer-git

Hello All. I used phonon-mplayer-git and all was fine. The old bug of amarok with no play next track in playlist make me to try phonon-xine. It was some buggy and I'am back to the mplayer backend, but it didn't work! When I start sound test in systemsettings I give this in console:

without any quotes It play!

I found the source of the missing entries. Somehow with quick-init alsa-oss sequence doesn't exit ( /dev/snd/snq) reloading the module snd_pcm_oss with rmmod and modprobe restores the missing entries like HDAudio ALC888 Analog in phonon-xine and make my capture device entry reappear.
Now to find why when quick init loads snd_pcm_oss, the snd_seq_oss module isn't loaded alongside.
Update : While snd_seq_oss isn't loaded, just adding it in my rc.conf doesn't cut it, I have now Alsa default device, oss default device, jack, and esd listed by phonon xine instead of HDA Intel (ALC888 Analog), HDA Intel (ALC888 Digital SPDIF IEC958) HDA Intel (NVIDIA HDMI), jack and esd. Audio capture device is not back either.
I suspect this has to do with the way qinit load modules, maybe it's because they are loaded before udev. back to some testing.
Update2 : As suspected moving the starting of udev before the module loading is the solution. Looks like modules are configured when loaded only and if udev is not available rules like : /lib/udev/rules.d/60-persistent-alsa.rules will not be applied until module reload. i lose some boot time but well whatever let's go shopping for ssd.

HT4528 On my iPhone4s, the earpiece speaker is muffled and practically useless. I have had said speaker replaced and the problem was not solved. The technician said that it may be due to something wrong with the software. Help?

If there is no solution, there is money back.

Who replaced your speaker? If you have had the device worked on by a 3rd party repair shop, then you will need to go back there to see about help. If you are willing, you can try this http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1631, but as far as out of warranty work, since the phone has been opened, Apple won't touch it.

PHP, Chromium and VLC [Solved]

Hello
I made little web based (PHP) library of my multimedia files, but i need one thing to fulfill it
is there anyway to launch my vlc player?
I know there is way how to launch Ubuntu Software Center in Ubuntu via web-link, so i think there must be a way to do the same with VLC....
Thanks for suggestions :-)
SOLUTION:
Squirrel wrote:
oh, i founded it, FINALLY, so thanks from all that they helped me, there is final solution:
at first, you must allow to apache (for me user "http") to access your x-server, so I used this:
xhost +local:http
xhost is utility to set access rules to x-server, local means that it will only acept localhost and http is obviously the user.
and now we can choose:
1) pure PHP:
<?php exec("vlc"); ?>
2) cgi script:
test.html
<object data="./cgi-bin/runVLC.cgi"></object>
./cgi-bin/runVLC.cgi
#!/bin/bash
vlc
both ways worked for me and launched my VLC player, thanks for help

Oops ... how'd I not finish that tag. Friends don't let friends code drunk.
There are many good sites out there for cgi-scripting. I'm a *complete* noob on this stuff though. I just recently set up a LAMP on my home computer just to tinker and learn. I followed the arch wiki to the letter and it went pretty smoothly. I haven't had much time to experiment or learn much yet - but when I saw this thread I figured I'd give it a shot. It did work on my system, but as they say, even a blind mouse will find the cheese once and a while.
I can't really give much guidance except to say it can be done. One thing that may be relevant is that (I believe) the server needs to be restarted before the cgi script will run.
I'm sure there are many experienced people here who can give better insights into exactly what configs to check and what needs to be running.

Gstreamer apps are crashing [SOLVED]

Latest updates must have broken gstreamer for me.
All applications using it are crashing:
1) Totem
2) Rhythmbox
3) Volume control of XFCE
Anyone else having these problems as well?
Last edited by frodoontop (2010-06-19 17:54:37)

Ok, lets see, it' s complaining with a bus error, whatever that may be.
[bouke@woudstra ~]$ rhythmbox
Busfout
[bouke@woudstra ~]$ totem
Busfout
[bouke@woudstra ~]$ xfce4-mixer

Perhaps it' s referring to dbus? Well it' s loaded in rc.conf:

Lirc plugin for VLC [SOLVED]

Is there any lirc plugin for vlc in Arch? I tried vlc --control lirc but:
vlc --control lirc
VLC media player 0.8.5 Janus
[00000273] main interface error: no interface module matched "lirc,none"
[00000273] main interface error: no suitable interface module
I have found severals vlc-plugin-lirc for other distros but no one for Arch. I also can't find the sources to build one. Any idea? Thanks.
SOLUTION:
I recompiled vlc adding the option --enable lirc to the PKGBUILD from abs.
./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-dvdread --enable-lirc --enable-dvdnav --enable-madi \
--enable-ffmpeg --disable-rpath --enable-wxwidgets --enable-faad \

Xine broken (solved)

After a reboot all of the applications that use xine now donot work anymore.
For example, the login & logout sound is gone, and when I start Amarok from terminal, I get these:
$ amarok
KGlobal::locale::Warning your global KLocale is being recreated with a valid main component instead of a fake component, this usually means you tried to call i18n related functions before your main component was created. You should not do that since it most likely will not work
amarok: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/xine/plugins/1.29/xineplug_inp_dvb.so: undefined symbol: xine_get_homedir
unnamed app(2169): Communication problem with "amarok" , it probably crashed.
Error message was: "org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown" : " "The name org.kde.amarok was not provided by any .service files" "
Does any one else meet this problem?
EDIT: the problem is solved. Please see #11& #12

So I found something. phonon-xine is no longer maintained and it's been removed from the repos. Only us still using it have this problem, and i don't know how to solve it except changing the backend to gstreamer (or probably vlc, but didn't try).
Since you can't do it in the system settings (it will crash), here is how to do it.
- First make sure you have installed phonon-gstreamer
- Remove phonon-xine
- Open ~/.kde4/share/config/servicetype_profilerc in some text editor and change the content to:
[PhononBackend]
Entry0_Preference=1
Entry1_Service=phononbackends/gstreamer.desktop
NumberOfEntries=1
Save it, then log out and in again. Hopefully you will have sound again, but this time using gstreamer.
I tried editing this file. It didn't work. I rebooted my computer and it is still the same xine backend being used.
EDIT: succeeded. I forgot to remove phonon-xine.
Now every thing works fine except the damn gapless playback in amarok.

[SOLVED] No kde-lite ?

Hi,
-#Linux 3.0-ARCH with kdebase 4.7.0-1 ...
I have successfully installed (the full) KDE, in the past as well as now, so i thought I would give the latest "kde-lite" a spin in Arch.
But, when I try to install the latest KDE minimal install according to:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/KDE
# pacman -S kdebase kde-l10n-yourlanguagehere phonon-vlc
You can choose phonon-gstreamer instead phonon-vlc.
-anyway, it just hangs forever, between after the login but just before finishing loading the desktop ?
Also, I notice that "X" process' is running at 99% CPU usage.
Is kdebase/kdebase-workspace not enough for a minimul "kde-lite" installation.? I tried "disabling" composting/compiz in ~/.kde4/..., but to no avail.
Summarily, if I install, for example the full (pacman -S kde), then of course, it installs everything, AND it works ok.
And, please note !: that I also just tested X successfully with a simple startx and xorg-twm,... and everything works just fine. So it ain't a driver/xorg issue
Is it possiby that in Arch, as far as KDE4 is concerned, it's either ALL (KDE4) or nothing ?
thx ahead.
Rick.

wonder wrote:pacman -S kdebase is not minimal enough? then you can install whatever you like
of course pre-installed the usual xorg,..., nvidia,...
I'm not sure how much of a part these had for a kde-lite, but I installed dbus, mesa, and mesa-demos, then
#pacman -S kdebase kdebase-workspace phonon-gstreamer
I needed both "kdebase, and kdebase-workspace" for the Plasma binaries, otherwise it hung as I mentioned above ?
So now, with just the above, I have a running kde minimal install,
I noticed however, at 1st glance, that on the application-lancher/kicker , as I move further right, into the "Applications" menu, that the left-positioned "<" to get back up to top of menu was missing. ?
Possibly some panel widget of sorts is obviously still missing, but no big deal.
All in all, imho, I don't find too much difference in performance versus the much more FULL, but simpler "pacman -S kde".
For now, i'll just get the whole thing, 'cause it works, and then just fine/trim tune your system after, as mentioned by "gerald82"
Needless to say, it was a fun experiment nonetheless.

Sounds like a good reason, as when I do pacman -Ss akonadi it shows up.
EDIT: when speaking of which, it works.
But:

should I just delete it(the file)? I have kdevelop installed along side cmake.

After searching around a bit, I found http://www.archlinux.org/news/having-pa … -packages/
I tried that, but I think it doesn't apply to me, as I've installed Arch just last week. Running
pacman-key --init
pacman-key --populate archlinux
does not give me pacman.conf.pacnew, as I think is to be expected as I already started with an up to date pacman, right?
The contents of my pacman.conf are here: http://pastie.org/private/w5iwbcwknmaiffhxchzekq
I tried throwing away the packages with "pacman -Sc kile" and reinstalling with "pacman -S kile", same result.
Any ideas how to resolve this issue?
(Probably unrelated, but I'm running Arch in a VirtualBox, with xfce, Linux version 3.5.4-1-ARCH)

Besides, the problem I had was that pacman said "Signature from "User <[email protected]>" is unknown trust, installation failed", so I tried the solution above the one you mentioned, which failed. As soon as I understood something was wrong with my cached files, it was solved quite easily.

Tomahawk Player - Sporadic "Problem Accessing Audio Device" Errors

Hi, I have recently started using Tomahawk Player in GNOME and some songs from external sources can play and others receive an error that states:
"Sorry, there is a problem accessing your audio device. Make sure you have a suitable Phonon backend and required plugins installed."
However, I have phonon, phonon-gstreamer, and phonon-vlc installed.
How can I further diagnose this?

Hello,
That is unfortunately a not-very-helpful error message as it could mask a variety of problems. One of those problems is that it might happen if Tomahawk is unable to play the url for the track---what source has it resolved to? (rightmost column)?
Feel free to come ask us on Freenode (#tomahawk) and our forums on forum.tomahawk-player.org. You'll probably get a better response there.

Can't pacman -Syu anymore? (KDE 3.5)

Hi, I use KDE 3.5 from the repository on which KDEMod 3.5 always was.
I want to upgrade my Archlinux regularly, but now I get this:
[root@E6600]# pacman -Su
:: Starting full system upgrade...
:: Replace kdelibs-experimental with extra/kdelibs? [Y/n]
:: Replace kernel-headers with core/linux-api-headers? [Y/n]
:: Replace klibc with core/mkinitcpio? [Y/n]
:: Replace klibc-extras with core/mkinitcpio? [Y/n]
:: Replace klibc-kbd with core/mkinitcpio? [Y/n]
:: Replace klibc-module-init-tools with core/mkinitcpio? [Y/n]
:: Replace klibc-udev with core/mkinitcpio? [Y/n]
resolving dependencies...
looking for inter-conflicts...
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: kdelibs: requires phonon
[root@E6600]# pacman -S phonon
resolving dependencies...
warning: provider package was selected (phonon-gstreamer provides phonon-backend)
looking for inter-conflicts...
:: phonon conflicts with qt. Remove qt? [Y/n] n
error: unresolvable package conflicts detected
error: failed to prepare transaction (conflicting dependencies)
:: phonon: conflicts with qt
So I'm a bit worried that maybe the Archlinux support for KDE 3.5 is now 100% gone?
I mean, it wants phonon but phonon wants to remove qt...
What can I do to stay up to date with the latest Archlinux and still have KDE 3.5?
With the conflicts above, I have no idea what I should remove and what to keep...
