Introduction to GStreamer Bad Plug-ins

The GStreamer Bad Plug-ins package contains 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-8.2 platform.

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                                           \
            --disable-wayland                                       \
            --disable-opencv                                        \
            --with-package-name="GStreamer Bad Plugins 1.12.4 BLFS" \
            --with-package-origin="http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/svn/" &&
make

To test the results, issue: make check. Several tests need a terminal emulator in a graphical session. Two tests, dash_mpd and aggregator, are known to fail.

Now, as the root user: 

make install

Command Explanations

--disable-wayland: This switch is required without a full wayland based desktop environment.

--disable-opencv: This switch is required if opencv-3.4.0 is installed without additional modules (specifically bgsegm).
