In the past the odd xorg upgrade might have made things worse, until a new version came out and restored performance to a good/acceptable level.

Starting with a clean profile didn't help either. I've updated to Firefox 3.6 Beta (mozilla overlay) and this version restores the speed again. I guess I'll stay with this beta since (fortunately) the add-ons I use work with it. So I guess problem solved. :P Gah, the Flash plugin is very buggy with 3.6 (rendering corruption).

For your reference, here's the bug I opened, there you can also find links to the relevant mails in the mplayer ML. http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=286020 I can give it a shot at least. Do I just run mplayer path/to/file or do I need to add some options so that it will provide more info? Sorry for the delay, it's been a busy weekend ;) You can just run mplayer file, if you need to force ALSA (so you can check if it's a problem with ALSA as it was my case) you can add -ao alsa, so it would be: mplayer -ao alsa filename Mplayer is usually smart enough to decide what to do without any further action on the user's side, however as someone said it's a very complex program that can do almost anything in which regards playing media files, that's why the man page is such a huge beast. If we manage to identify the bug and reproduce it consistently then that's a huge step towards finding a solution. By the way, what mplayer version are you using? This is the emerge info for mplayer and ffmpeg since that is what it is using: r...@smoker / # emerge -pv mplayer ffmpeg These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done!

I am also still using KDE 3.5. KDE4 is just not there yet for me. As far as I know that version of mplayer is bugged. I can't guarantee that your problem is the same one I had, but if I am not mistaken the bug is present in that release. Please, try 1.0_rc4_p20091026-r1 and see if the bug goes away. I will open an STABLEREQ bug to speed up the stabilization of this version, and the masking of older ones. After all, they should be hard masked or at least patched to fix the bug. I'll unmask and keyword if needed to get the latest version. I have noticed that if my CPU is not to busy, it does a lot better but appears to be a half second off or so even if fairly idle. It still varies by the file type tho. I use Firefox and the download helper extension to both download and convert the files to mpg4. I set it to same quality and that seems to help a LOT and the files are larger. It uses ffmpeg to convert the files. I convert them in case I send a video to a windoze user. My brother can't get a .flv to play except through a website. I dunno. Its windoze. LOL Dale :-) :-)

Does your server use something like Apache/php to do the serving, and do you really need php to do it? MythTV is digital video recording software, allowing watching/recording of things through a tv tuner card, and even pause/resume of a 'live stream'. It's heavily dependent on mysql, as I recall, and has the option to use Apache+PHP to serve up a web based interface, MythWeb, as is mentioned in the OPs reply to your question. It, however, doesn't use php's ability to interface with berkley db in any way I'm aware of, so it should safe to merely rebuild php without the berkdb use flag, then remove the db package. -- Poison [BLX] Joshua M. Murphy p.s. - for the OP, php is a scripting language that's most commonly used to provide dynamic web content, and as MythWeb is written in php... ;)

[gentoo-user] When masked pkg not in [...]profiles/package.mask, where is it
When a package comes up as masked in an eix search, they are usually
found in /usr/portage/profiles/package.mask, but if a particular
masked package is not listed there... where else would it be.
I see libtool is masked above version 1.5.26-r1, but is not in
/usr/portage/profiles/package.mask...
grep libtool /usr/portage/profiles/package.mask
nothing
Where else to look?
Even this: search
find /usr/portage/ -name 'package.mask' -exec grep libtool {} \;
# Some weird libtool breakage on Solaris and Darwin
Only finds the cited comment.

According to my eix output, libtool isn't masked, just keyworded (and
only 1.5.26-r1 specifically):
[I] sys-devel/libtool
Available versions:
(1.3) 1.3.5
(1.5) 1.5.26 (~)1.5.26-r1 2.2.6a **
{test vanilla}
That information is per-ebuild, found in the KEYWORDS line in
the .ebuild file; it will have keyword ~x86 or ~amd64 instead of simply
x86 or amd64.

try syncing again, maybe you're just a little out of date there.
failing that, look in /etc/portage/package.mask*
grep libtool /usr/portage/profiles/package.mask
nothing

Well at least we know it's not hard-masked inside your profile itself :-)

If I'm interpreting things correctly (unlikely) those two macros are defined

Do you have such a file/package on your machine?
I have libtool installed but not that new of version. In fact portage

Wait, but those are small 'm's. That means they must have been masked
manually. As Alan McKinnon mentioned in your other thread (When masked pkg not
in [...]profiles/package.mask, where is it), you might have an entry
in /etc/portage/package.mask.

[gentoo-user] Eclipse 3.4-r2
