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-7.6 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.

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.
