Yeah... it's not exactly obvious. This gets the FLV (flash video) stuff
working (livna repo needed for the second package)
# yum install gstreamer-python gstreamer-ffmpeg
As root, edit
/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/miro/frontend_implementation/VideoDisplay.py
line 75
where you find this chunk of code
if values == None:
# Using both renderers causes segfaults --NN
#self.add_renderer("gstrenderer")
self.add_renderer("xinerenderer")
else:
Change it to use gstreamer
self.add_renderer("gstrenderer")
#self.add_renderer("xinerenderer")
and save and restart Miro. FLV (eg, the JETSET stuff) works here after
that.
