Subject: why not totem-gstreamer and totem-xine installed at the same time?

Date: Mon, 11 Dec 2006 09:30:31 +0100

package: totem
severity: wishlist

Hello!

I wonder why it is not possible to have both 'totem-xine' and
'totem-gstreamer' packages installed at the same time. The executables
in /usr/bin could be renamed to the packages names and linking
with /usr/bin/totem could be handled via Debian's alternatives system.
All files which are common in both packages could be moved into a
'totem-common' package on which both frontends depend.

Sometimes if a movies fails to play on the one backend it perfectly runs
on the other one. In the current situation you have to remove the one
package in order to install the other one even if you only want to test
a video file with both engines.

Is it possible in one of the next revisions or have I missed anything?

Thank you!

Cheers,
Fabian

Dear Gnome-Maintainers,

I would like to bring this issue back to your minds.

With the upload of the first Gnome 2.20 packages (btw, thank you very 
much for that!) epiphany now supports two backends, namely gecko and 
webkit. Both of the backends have their own package, which is similar to 
the totem situation, but for epiphany both of these packages are 
installable at the same time by usage of the alternatives mechanism. 
Could you please introduce this feature for the totem packages, too?

Thank you!

Cheers,
Fabian

Hi,

This is something I plan on doing, but I haven't found the time yet.

 Unfortunately, totem is not designed to switch backends at runtime; as
 this means large changes to totem, I recommend you bring this up with
 the upstream developers directly.

 Hmm, nevermind; I was told epiphany doesn't switch backend at runtime
 either.

Looks like upstream does have some plans to change this,
