I tried the other one and it worked fine - really fast!

QUESTION: Does Google control the Chromium base or is that truly independent?

How may one trust that they won't embed a back door to presumed-private area and/or suddenly terminate the open-source updates?

Thanks jpeps

I use Iron browser myself because for me the chrome browser is the speediest, most friendly, yet the memory footprint is reasonable.

I guess Iron is actually forking Google Chrome, they removed the hidden services that Chrome installs. The browser size is bit large, but doesn't bloat the memory.

Iron browser Pet as compiled under Dpup Expimo 5.X.3.4.12 - size: 40MB

Thanks jpeps and Xtanova of Iron 22 sfs and pet.
I did use jpeps sfs and uploaded it to the exprimo repo.
I did strip it a little more and then I compressed it with -comp xz.
The result is now 30 Mb. Very Happy

I stripped...indeed, saves 3M

I just made a version for Spot (in keeping with discussion about running browsers in root). It likes to update .config prefs in root, however, so if you want to try running in Spot, initially chown the .config/iron files (e.g, startup wrapper).

@pemasu

Which MPlayer version do we have in 5.X.3.4.12? MPlayer- h shows "MPlayer UNKNOWN-4.4.5". Could it be MPlayer2?

Mplayer is recent. It has been compiled from svn....after 1.1 was released. So...it is as new as it can be...with some modified options though. For example it uses my compiled external ffmpeg instead of internal libs.

It is Mplayer, not Mplayer2. When you compile from svn, the version information is sometimes obscure, as you noticed.

Thanks, pemasu. Similarly, what is the version of ffmpeg. --version shows "N-42316-gd3f4d7"

I'm looking to burn subtitles into video and would need ffmpeg libass for that which is not compiled into this version. I understand that I will run into trouble with this MPlayer version if I replace ffmpeg?

pemasu · Joined: 08 Jul 2009 Posts: 5167 Location: Finland

ffmpeg is basically 0.11.1. I compiled it from git after 0.11.1 was released.

I think that I compiled mplayer with libass support and I also included bluray support.
I dont remember if there is libass configure option for ffmpeg and was that included. Probably not.

Yep. Replacing Mplayer with version which has ffmpeg libs compiled in is needed.

I call eclairs with white chocolate on top rather than dark chocolate!

Or maybe oatmeal cookies with walnuts & cranberries.

Or ... never mind ... have to go find a snack now ...

Can't resist the urge to show off a little accomplishment of mine. Dpup Exprimo menu without icons and new "old" shutdown menu. Pure text and nothing more. Initially I only planned to revert the shutdown menu to its original layout, like in Precise, but ended up with a completely new menu.
