Any ideas? That error message is rather cryptic. Apparently, it means that it needs specifically the 0.10-X series. Searching through old threads in the Pale Moon support forum revealed that there are "major issues" with gstreamer-1.X support, so the build only supports the 0.10-X series of gstreamer and plugins. This is also a problem in Firefox, from which Pale Moon is forked. Fortunately, there are still 0.10-X series ebuilds in the tree. Just to be safe, I set up a local overlay with only the 0.10-X series versions of media-libs/ gst-plugins-bad gst-plugins-base gst-plugins-good gst-plugins-ugly gst-rtsp-server gstreamer I unmerged the version 1.X gstreamer and plugins, masked out >= 0.11 versions and emerged gst-plugins-base, which also pulled in gstreamer. The Pale Moon build is churning along now, and I'll find out in a couple of hours how it works with h264. The web site... http://www.quirksmode.org/html5/tests/video.html has h264, webm, and ogg/theora test videos. I currently have webm and ogg/theora working. The gstreamer-enabled build will hopefully also run the h264 video. This will also be useful for Youtube in HTML5 mode. -- Walter Dnes I don't run "desktop environments"; I run useful applications
