Gstreamer for Debian
|
||
|
|
====================
|
||
|
|
This package contains the GStreamer plugin distribution.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
More information can be found at http://gstreamer.net/
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
As of GStreamer plugins version 0.8.0 all packages are versioned and
|
||
|
|
parallel installable with other releases with other major.minor
|
||
|
|
versions. For example, 0.8.x series is versioned as 0.8 and parallel
|
||
|
|
installable with both unversioned 0.6.x series and future 0.9.x and
|
||
|
|
beyond. The version part is represented as VER below.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
GStreamer plugins are split into a number of packages:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
plugins without external dependencies:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|

ChangeLog
|
||
|
|
---------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The upstream ChangeLog is not included in all the plugin packages due to its
|
||
|
|
large size. Please see upstream sources if you are interested in detailed
|
||
|
|
source changes.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Unofficial plugin packages
|
||
|
|
--------------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Various plugins in the upstream source are not yet packaged or not officially
|
||
|
|
supported. This is most likely due to:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* upstream considers them too unstable
|
||
|
|
* libraries they depend on are not are yet in Debian or are poorly supported
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To build additional unofficial plugin packages:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Get the source and Debian diff (for example, "apt-get source gst-plugins")
|
||
|
|
* Add new package name to the EXTRA_PLUGINS variable in debian/rules
|
||
|
|
* Add appropriate dependency and control info to debian/extra
|
||
|
|
* Add a .install file for the package
|
||
|
|
* Rebuild
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Currently available untested and unsupported info has been added for:
|
||
|
|
* gstreamer-faac
|
||
|
|
* gstreamer-mpeg2enc
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
External tools support
|
||
|
|
----------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Your favorite codec isn't wrapped as a plugin? External programs can be
|
||
|
|
used to process streams. Take a look at "pipefilter" element or try
|
||
|
|
something like this (untested):
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
$ mkfifo fifo
|
||
|
|
$ gst-launch myaudiosrc ! filesink location=fifo &
|
||
|
|
$ cat fifo | my_encoder > output_file
