[05:30]SlavekB has quit (Quit: Kopete 0.12.7 : http://trinitydesktop.org)
[10:42]micheleC: @akh: just thinking it would be good to add support for webm files as well. What do you think?
[11:06]denk: add it into tqt

[12:47]akh: @denk TDE video thumbnailing is provided by either/both `mplayerthumbs` and `tdemultimedia` (the latter using `xine_artsplugin`)
[12:56]akh: iow, as long as mplayer and/or xine support webm then TDE should already fully support it as well (at least that's my understanding)
[12:58]akh: that said, I seem to recall having had issues with webm in the past
[12:58]akh: I don't recall whether the issues were with TDE or e.g. Xine
[13:24]denk: these programs can support webm via their (external) libraries
[13:24]denk: for tde it's 3dr-party software
[13:27]akh: `mplayerthumbs` and `tdemultimedia` are TDE components that rely of external libraries (mplayer and xine, respectively) for their functionality
[13:27]akh: They both advertise support for `video/*`
[13:27]akh: (both for playback and for thumbnailing)
[13:35]denk: I just downloaded https://dl6.webmfiles.org/big-buck-bunny_trailer.webm file, noatun on my freebsd desktop does not support it
[13:35]denk: vlc does it
[13:35]akh: Just verified that webm is fully supported on R14.0.13 (xine, [k]mplayer, and vlc installed); that includes both thumbnailing and playback
[13:37]denk: maybe I forgot to install something
[13:38]akh: noatun segfaults on my system, even when run with no arguments (something to do with artsd; I run pulseaudio)
[13:38]denk: fix it :)
[13:39]akh: and deal with arts? no thanks!
[13:39]akh: <bitter memories of artsd locking up the system>
[13:39]denk: it's not the solaris kernel, common, do it!
