@FaheemMitha I installed mpv the obvious way (aptitude install mpv)... Jessie has a version, actually. deb-multimedia has a newer one.

Faheem Mitha

@derobert Um, you installed the deb-multimedia version using aptitude install mpv? How is that possible?

derobert

@FaheemMitha You put deb-multimedia in your sources.list, add a pin for it

actually, maybe you don't need the pin

Faheem Mitha

@derobert Hmm, I think it wanted to replace a bunch of stuff. Let me check.

root@orwell:/home/faheem# apt-get install mpv=1:0.8.3-dmo1

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
mpv : Depends: libavcodec56 (>= 10:2.6) but 6:11.4-1~deb8u1 is to be installed

derobert

well, I probably have all those from deb-multimedia as well. Let me turn on that machine and check.

Braiam

@FaheemMitha you need to use -t

otherwise, packages that are already installed would not be upgraded

derobert

5:22 PM

anthony@Forest:~$ apt-cache policy mpv libavcodec56
mpv:
  Installed: 1:0.8.3-dmo1
  Candidate: 1:0.8.3-dmo1
  Version table:

        500 deb-multimedia.org jessie/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
     0.6.2-2 0
        500 httpredir.debian.org/debian jessie/main amd64 Packages

  Version table:

        500 deb-multimedia.org jessie/main amd64 Packages

... so yeah, I have the deb-multimedia versions of those installed

Faheem Mitha

@Braiam Well, I don't want to replace stuff I have already. Especially since d-m doesn't play nice with Debian.

@derobert Any idea whether rebuilding the sources on jessie would work?

derobert

also, deb-multimedia's default priority is 500, you shouldn't need -t for it...

Faheem Mitha

@derobert I set it to 1, I think.

derobert

@FaheemMitha Probably. You might need to build a new ffmpeg first.

Braiam

@derobert I presume he pinned it... yeah that ^

Faheem Mitha

5:24 PM

Yes, 1.

@derobert Hmm, is the d-m newer than the jessie one?

derobert

@FaheemMitha yes

Faheem Mitha

BTW, glad that Debian came to its senses and switched back to ffmpeg.

They never should have left it in the first place.

derobert

@FaheemMitha look at the the apt-cache policy output above...

Faheem Mitha

@derobert Ok. Well, probably need to build that first.

derobert

Yeah. I have all many of my desktops and a few servers with deb-multimedia at prio 500, so apt-get upgrade will switch to deb-multimedia packages... and it's been a long time since that's broken anything. And even longer since it broke anything I cared about (e.g., the last thing it broke was some screensaver, I think... and oh well, switch to a different one.)

Faheem Mitha

5:26 PM

@derobert You haven't listed ffmpeg.

@derobert I see. That's encouraging, I guess.

derobert

@FaheemMitha libavcodec56

in Jessie that's libav, deb-multimedia has always used ffmpeg

Braiam

just curious, why you need newer mpv?

derobert

anthony@Forest:~$ apt-cache show libavcodec56=10:2.6.4-dmo1 | grep ^Source
Source: ffmpeg-dmo

Faheem Mitha

@Braiam You're asking me? Because the jessie mpv is screwy.

Have you tried it?

derobert

mpv 0.6 v. 0.8 is fairly different

Faheem Mitha

5:29 PM

@Braiam And how are things in the DR? Are you surviving?

@derobert How so?

derobert

it's been under active development. github.com/mpv-player/mpv/releases

Faheem Mitha

How about backporting the unstable/experimental versions? Or is that harder?

derobert

I suspect you could compile 0.9.2 just as easily

Faheem Mitha

@derobert Maybe I'll try that.

@derobert I meant - were there any noteworthy developments?

derobert

quite a few...

well, at least since 0.6.2

Faheem Mitha

5:31 PM

Hmm. Do tell.

derobert

I think they redid that cache for network playback, not sure if 0.6.2 is using youtube-dl for youtube/etc. playback, ...

A bunch of new opengl features supported, including nicer upscalers

Faheem Mitha

@derobert are those end-user visible?

Braiam

@FaheemMitha against all odds... I'm wondering when our luck will run out

derobert

better upscalers? if you're doing upscaling, certainly. Doesn't matter if you're doing 1080p to a 1080p display

Braiam

@FaheemMitha when jessie was testing, I didn't had issues

derobert

5:35 PM

github.com/mpv-player/mpv/releases has fairly good NEWS entries

0.7 seems to be the quvi -> youtube-dl change

Faheem Mitha

@derobert Ok. Looking.

So, did the dependencies change much between 0.6 and 0.9?

derobert

I saw a few newer versions of things (ffmpeg, libass, etc.) in there.

Faheem Mitha

@derobert oh

Well, thanks for the feedback. Maybe I'll experiment.

derobert

Now for the more exciting thing... I get to log out and back in, maybe even roboot my workstation soon. It's running testing, and has been being hit by KDE5...

Presumably after log out/log in, it'll look entirely different since it'll be 5 instead of 4.

Faheem Mitha

@derobert Why is that exciting?

Exciting would be creating an AI that then tried to eat you. As AIs are wont to do.

derobert

5:42 PM

@FaheemMitha Nah, that'd be a new version of GNOME. A new version of KDE, you'd have to tweak your being-eaten preferences first.

Faheem Mitha

LOL

2 hours later…

Gilles

7:38 PM

@derobert I'm not sure if a new version of Gnome qualifies as exciting. You just get a black screen.

Braiam

7:58 PM

HA!

That Brazilian Guy

I'm trying to achieve this:

A: SSH to server behind firewall

This is fairly simple if you have control over the server. I'll give the command-line version, and you can work that into any framework you like: server$ ssh -R 9091:localhost:22 client.example.egg client$ ssh -p 9091 localhost The server establishes a connection to the client first which sta...

But I keep getting Permission denied (publickey,password). How do I proceed?

Braiam

@ThatBrazilianGuy is not the firewall fault...

Faheem Mitha

8:53 PM

So, I have a pdf which looks like this:

Page size: 2448 x 3264 pts

This was converted from a JPG with this resolution. So, the question is - how do I scale this down so it prints sensibly on an A4 sheet? The usual print programs do the right thing for a JPG, but not for a PDF.
