Introduction to GStreamer Bad Plug-ins

The GStreamer Bad Plug-ins package contains a set a set of plug-ins that aren't up to par compared to the rest. They might be close to being good quality, but they're missing something - be it a good code review, some documentation, a set of tests, a real live maintainer, or some actual wide use.

This package is known to build and work properly using an LFS-7.8 platform.

[Note]

Note

GStreamer 1.0 series is not API or ABI compatible with GStreamer 0.10 series and both can be installed on the same system.

Installation of GStreamer Bad Plug-ins

[Note]

Note

If you need a plugin for a given dependency, that dependency needs to be installed before this application.

If you have installed OpenJPEG-2.1.0 and wish to use it with GStreamer Bad Plug-ins, apply the following patch: 

patch -Np1 -i ../gst-plugins-bad-1.4.5-openjpeg21-1.patch &&

Prevent a miscompilation caused by a change in the output from cpp in gcc-5 which leads to crashes. 

sed -i -e 's/ GST_CHECK_FAAD_VERSION / /' \
       -e '/"GST_CHECK_FAAD_VERSION/{
           s/GST_CHECK_FAAD_VERSION //
           s/""/"$"/ }' configure

Install GStreamer Bad Plug-ins by running the following commands: 

./configure --prefix=/usr \
            --with-package-name="GStreamer Bad Plugins 1.4.5 BLFS" \
            --with-package-origin="http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/svn/" &&
make

To test the results, issue: make check. One test (camerabin) needs hardware with a camera. A couple of tests need a terminal emulator in a graphical session.

Now, as the root user: 

make install
