Warning from mplayer emerge:
You've enabled the 'gtk' use flag which will build
GMPlayer, which is no longer actively developed upstream
and is not supported by Gentoo. There are alternatives
for a GUI frontend: smplayer, gnome-mplayer and kmplayer.
Note from x264 emerge:
Please note that this package now only installs
x264 libraries. In order to have the encoder,
please emerge media-video/x264-encoder.
Updated [package.use]:
# MDM gtk is deprecated as a front end, kill it...
# "Use smplayer, gnome-mplayer and kmplayer instead".
# smplayer needs [srt].
media-video/mplayer -gtk srt
Updated [package.keywords]:
# MDM Un-soft-mask VLC (and dependencies)

Emerged:
emerge -Davu smplayer gnome-mplayer kmplayer
[x264-encoder] wasn’t ready to emerge, mplayer wants a different version than vlc. Holding off for now…
