The GStreamer Ugly Plug-ins is a set of plug-ins considered by the GStreamer developers to have good quality and correct functionality, but distributing them might pose problems. The license on either the plug-ins or the supporting libraries might not be how the GStreamer developers would like. The code might be widely known to present patent problems.
Development versions of BLFS may not build or run some packages properly if LFS or dependencies have been updated since the most recent stable versions of the books.

If you need a plugin for a given dependency, that dependency needs to be installed before this package.
Install GStreamer Ugly Plug-ins by running the following commands:
mkdir build && cd build && meson setup .. \ --prefix=/usr \ --buildtype=release \ -D gpl=enabled && ninja
To test the results, issue: ninja test.
Now, as the root
user:
ninja install
--buildtype=release
:
Specify a buildtype suitable for stable releases of the package, as
the default may produce unoptimized binaries.
-D gpl=enabled
: Without
this switch, plugins with dependencies on (A)GPL licensed libraries
are not built.
