|
|
|

|
|
|
|
up. Please see the [1]release page for availability of source and
|

|
|
binary packages.

Known Issues
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
GStreamer currently ships with two schedulers, named 'basic' and
|
|
|
|
|
'standard'. Basic is the one we have been shipping for a long time now
|
|
|
|
|
and is still the default in GStreamer 0.4.0. There are however some
|
|
|
|
|
limitations and threadrelated bugs in basic. These limitations are not
|
|
|
|
|
present in standard, but unfortunately standard does not work with
|
|
|
|
|
i686 glibc atm due to differences in the way threads are handled
|
|
|
|
|
compared to other architectures including i386. We hope to get the
|
|
|
|
|
remaining issues in standard fixed before 0.4.1 and use that as
|
|
|
|
|
default.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
As for the bugs in basic we did not feel they warranted not releasing
|
|
|
|
|
0.4.0 as they are rather obscure. For instance if you are using
|
|
|
|
|
Rhythmbox you will need to be playing over 500 songs nonstop to
|
|
|
|
|
trigger it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you want to test the standard scheduler, run your GStreamer
|
|
|
|
|
application with --gst-scheduler=standard

|
We use [9]Gnome's Bugzilla for bug reports and feature requests. The
|
|
|
|
|
"product name" is GStreamer (capital G). Please do the following
|
|
|
|
|
before writing a bug report :
|
|
|
|
|
gst-feedback > feedback 2>&1
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and attach the file "feedback" to your bug report, so that we have
|
|
|
|
|
some information useful in the debugging process.

Developers
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
GStreamer is [10]hosted on SourceForge. All code is in CVS and can be
|
|
|
|
|
checked out from there. Interested developers of the core library,
|
|
|
|
|
plug-ins, and applications should subscribe to the gstreamer-devel
|
|
|
|
|
list. If there is sufficient interest we will create more lists as
|
|
|
|
|
necessary.
|
2002-04-15 09:21:14 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We are still looking for people with access to Solaris, HP-UX, Irix
|
|
|
|
|
and True64 that would be willing to try building and testing
|
|
|
|
|
GStreamer. Patches fixing such problems are also more than welcome.
