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. Also
see the gst-plugins-good-0.10.31, gst-plugins-ugly-0.10.19 and
gst-ffmpeg-0.10.13 packages.
This package is known to build and work properly using an LFS-7.4
platform.

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
Install Gstreamer Bad Plug-ins by
running the following commands:
./configure --prefix=/usr --with-gtk=3.0 --disable-examples &&
make
To test the results, issue: make
check. Note that tests for some of the items may
fail.
Now, as the root user:
make install
Command Explanations
--with-gtk=3.0: Build
against GTK+ 3 instead of the
default GTK+ 2; recommended for a
GNOME Desktop.
--disable-examples: If the
dependencies for the camera driver have been satisfied, the
associated example code fails to build.
