devede 3.17.0

devede 3.16.9 fails to make videos with subtitles - see this.

I'm running a Slackware 13.37 box and installed manually the new devede release, 3.17.0, and the problem is solved. So I ask for an update of the devede package.

Who is the maintainer ? Maybe try to contact him directly...

I'm the maintainer and he already contacted me per PM. But I've been out of the country on holiday for almost completely 4 weeks. It's planned for this week ... finally.

Ok, here you go:
http://gaia.homelinux.org/salix/package ... 86-1ab.txz
http://gaia.homelinux.org/salix/package ... 64-1ab.txz

Please, test this/these packages and report back.
I can confirm that Divx/MPEG-4 conversion support doesn't work (in some tests of me and also for some other user(s)), as the Slackware version of MPlayer lacks support for some codecs (in this case lame) which are protected by some patents. Therefor I think it's a good idea that I added a one-line patch which disables that button. Unless of course somebody thinks this can be useful anyway.

Apart from an annoying bug that prevents previewing the menu while in the "Menu options" window, everything else runs fine. I talked about this with DeVeDe's author, he's got it fixed on the git repository, so wait for version 3.17.1 to come out.

I think you should re-enable the Divx/MPEG-4 button because many of us live on countries where these patents issues are meaningless and therefore can re-build MPlayer with lame support. Just mention the fact that you cannot make the Divx/MPEG-4 conversion unless you rebuild MPlayer in the slack-desc file.
