Decrapify Miro

georgia_tech_swagger · 2009-02-14 23:55:52

Miro has been broken for me since the xine-lib upgrade. As it turns out, Miro 1.2.x is broken against the latest xine-lib. However, Miro 2.0.x has just been released, and I am here to save the day!

First, the Miro 2.0.x PKGBUILD:

# Maintainer: Ronald van Haren <ronald.archlinux.org>
# Contributor: Jeremy Sands <cto@jeremysands.com>

pkgname=miro
pkgver=2.0.1
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="The free and open source internet TV platform"
arch=('i686' 'x86_64')
url="http://www.getmiro.com"
license=('GPL2')
depends=('xine-lib>=1.1.12' 'boost>=1.36.0' 'gnome-python-extras>=2.19.1'
         'dbus-python>=0.82.4' 'pyrex' 'xulrunner>=1.9.0.1' 'gtk2' 'nspr')
makedepends=('pkgconfig' 'qt3')
install=miro.install
conflicts=('democracy')
replaces=('democracy')
provides=('democracy')

source=(http://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/pculture.org/miro/src/Miro-${pkgver}.tar.gz)

md5sums=('9f180474f97f179e78d919e92b66e3e4')

build() {
  cd ${srcdir}/Miro-${pkgver}
  cd platform/gtk-x11
  python setup.py install --root=${pkgdir} || return 1
}

Next, the miro.install:

cat miro.install
post_install() {
  update-desktop-database -q
}

post_upgrade() {
  post_install $1
}

post_remove() {
  update-desktop-database -q
}

op=$1
shift

$op $*

All the extra patches previously needed to build miro are no longer necessary. Use the above to files to make the PKGBUILD and install it.

Playback in xine is still broken, in that Miro will crash after playback. However, gstreamer playback is NO LONGER broken. So ... open up Miro, go to preferences, and change the Playback to "gstreamer" instead of "xine".

Exit Miro.

Do the following:

pacman -S gstreamer0.10-python gstreamer0.10-ugly-plugins gstreamer0.10-ugly gstreamer0.10-good-plugins gstreamer0.10-good gstreamer0.10-base-plugins gstreamer0.10-bad-plugins gstreamer0.10-bad gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg

Now open up Miro again and enjoy the first fully working Miro you've had in Arch in some time.

I wound be good to ping the maintainer with your PKGBUILD so they don't have to repeat your work.

mrbug · 2009-02-15 22:54:32

I keep getting this:

Package config error:
pkg-config --list-all outputted the following error:
Package qt-mt was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `qt-mt.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
Package 'qt-mt', required by 'avahi-qt3', not found

Any ideas?

gstreamer playback was never broken, it requires gstreamer0.10-python to work

nah, I have followed the release candidates locally and also have the final PKGBUILD ready for some time. But well, it is still equally broken with the preferred xine backend...

I'm having this same problem. Has any solution been found on this?

do you have your PKG_CONFIG_PATH and PATH variables set correctly ?

 echo $PKG_CONFIG_PATH && echo $PATH

spotdart · 2009-02-18 06:30:55

 echo $PKG_CONFIG_PATH && echo $PATH

returns:

:/opt/qt/lib/pkgconfig
/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/opt/kde/bin:/usr/bin/perlbin/site:/usr/bin/perlbin/vendor:/usr/bin/perlbin/core:/opt/qt/bin

I assume you made here a pasting error and /usr/lib/pkgconfig is in your $PKG_CONFIG_PATH ? (though that is not the problem here).

Do these two commands have the following results for you

ls /opt/qt/lib/pkgconfig

qt-mt.pc

pkg-config --list-all | grep qt

qt-mt Qt - Libqt-mt.so.3.3.8 Library
avahi-qt3 avahi-qt3 - Avahi Multicast DNS Responder (QT3 Support)

I'm pretty confident that I posted the command output accurately. anyway, those commands' output were exactly as you said.

1.2.8 was indeed broken with gstreamer. Simply attempting playback caused, oddly, a xine based segfault. There's a rather long bug report in Fedora's bug tracker about this matter.

In that case you may want to add /usr/lib/pkgconfig to your PKG_CONFIG_PATH. It is defined in /etc/profile

Do you have a link?

I can't replicate it on 3 machines. You did restart miro before playing when you changed the engine?

it looks like it's already included in the file, here's the relvant section:

# Export default pkg-config path
PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/usr/lib/pkgconfig:/opt/qt/lib/pkgconfig"
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH

I'll Google around when I have some more time ... I think the one I dug up in question is now closed, and the above is the closest I could find.

In any event ... the gstreamer audio sounds like somebody talking through a snorkel underwater ... so I explored ways to fix xine .... this works for me with no segfault fail:

$ miro --set xine-driver=opengl

yes, I just found that out myself

I'll upload miro 2.0.1 now, patching the executable to use opengl if the xine-driver is used.
Thanks.
