It's not that it doesn't do HTML5 video, I've been using that ever

I have the gstreamer flag (and everything except jit) turned off for

Well, AFAIK you only really need gstreamer support for non-free formats (i.e.,
MP4, MP3). In fact, perhaps that's why that 1080p video only played in 360p:
maybe the 1080p version is only available as an MP4 (youtube-dl could probably
verify)?
Of course, for all I know you don't care about playing non-free formats, and
that'd be fine.
It's just that I can't deactivate FlashDisable and expect YouTube
to default to HTML5 videos yet (see the top of the quoted text above).
FWIW, I *did* try it and still got the undesired behaviour (Youtube
trying to use Flash).
I think we're talking past each other here. FlashDisable is irrelavant
to the way I do it. The really important concept is that each profile
is a separate universe unto itself. And you can set totally different
behaviours in each profile. In my Youtube profile, I totally disable
Flash. As far as the web page is concerned, I don't have Flash
installed at all. Like I said above, FlashDisable is irrelavant
to the way I do it. Here's the Seamonkey menu tree; Firefox may be
different.
Tools == Add-ons Manager == Plugins (on the left sidebar)
I select Shockwave Flash from the Plugins list, and there's a
dropdown menu with 3 choices
* Ask to Activate
* Always Activate
* Never Activate
I select Never Activate, and Youtube thinks I don't have Flash
installed, forcing it to go with HTML5 mode.
Yeah, you're right, we were talking past each other :) .
(FWIW, that's exactly the same menu tree as in Firefox.)

[gentoo-user] which ebuilds use a specific eclass?
Ok, so googling found lots of interesting things to read; some deprecated some new. So looking more deeply into some of the eclasses [1], it helps me to examine different ebuilds an eclass is inherited into; then specifically how those eclass constructs are used, by subsequently looking into a specific ebuild. Evidently, I'm not alone in this adventure as I have read lots of stuff about folks not choosing the best eclass to use for a specific task, not using a given eclass correctly and new (eclass) features that should be used which have been added to an existing eclass or as part of a new eclass. Surely this can be very dynamic, but, I'm mostly hacking at relatively straightforward ebuilds, so the existing semantics are probably fine for me in most cases, no bleeding edges here. So for a given eclass, how to I find the list of all ebuilds that use that eclass I'm interested in? Is my only option a brute force search of the inherit inside every ebuild? What if I only want to look at an eclass, like systemd, limited to a specific category of ebuilds, for example sys-cluster; what is the best tool/script to search for a specific eclass limited to a single category?

[gentoo-user] Mysql upgrade from 5.5 to 5.6 not trigger rebuild fot php-5.3
Hi, i have a server with dev-db/mysql-5.5.40 and dev-lang/php-5.3.29 . After the upgrade from dev-db/mysql-5.5.40 to dev-db/mysql-5.6.22 the mysql_connect give some warnings: PHP Warning: mysql_connect(): Headers and client library minor version mismatch. Headers:50540 Library:50622 in The warning disappear if i rebuild dev-lang/php-5.3.29 . The question is: why the mysql update dind't triggered the rebuild for dev-lang/php-5.3.29 ? Thanks Marco

[gentoo-user] Re: systemd_dounit
Canek Peláez Valdés caneko at gmail.com writes: So, in short: systemd_dounit units just puts the units in /usr/lib/systemd/system. There is no registration; systemd will read the unit the next time the machine boots or earlier if you do systemctl daemon-reload, but the service will not be started nor enabled until the user specifies (that's the Gentoo policy, I believe). or locally: /usr/portage/eclass/systemd.eclass I don't understand what the has to do with the eclass. Yea, it was late for me. Nightly versions? I guess no. The link really helped. I do not have it installed, and all I found, last night, was 2012 code... It the case of monitorix, the syntax added to the ebuild merely adds systemd support. thx, James
