WHAT IT IS
----------
This is gst-plugins, a set of plug-ins for GStreamer.
This is GStreamer Good Plug-ins.
This package is in the 0.9.x series. This means that this is a
development series leading up to a stable 0.10.x series.
You have been warned.
GStreamer 0.9 development series - Hung by a Thread
---------------------------------------------------
Starring
GSTREAMER
The core around which all other modules revolve. Base functionality and
libraries, some essential elements, documentation, and testing.
BASE
A well-groomed and well-maintained collection of GStreamer plug-ins and
elements, spanning the range of possible types of elements one would want
to write for GStreamer.
And introducing, for the first time ever, on the development screen ...
THE GOOD
--- "Such ingratitude. After all the times I've saved your life."
A collection of plug-ins you'd want to have right next to you on the
battlefield. Shooting sharp and making no mistakes, these plug-ins have it
all: good looks, good code, and good licensing. Documented and dressed up
in tests. If you're looking for a role model to base your own plug-in on,
here it is.
If you find a plot hole or a badly lip-synced line of code in them,
let us know - it is a matter of honour for us to ensure Blondie doesn't look
like he's been walking 100 miles through the desert without water.
THE UGLY
--- "When you have to shoot, shoot. Don't talk."
There are times when the world needs a color between black and white.
Quality code to match the good's, but two-timing, backstabbing and ready to
sell your freedom down the river. These plug-ins might have a patent noose
around their neck, or a lock-up license, or any other problem that makes you
think twice about shipping them.
We don't call them ugly because we like them less. Does a mother love her
son less because he's not as pretty as the other ones ? No - she commends
him on his great personality. These plug-ins are the life of the party.
And we'll still step in and set them straight if you report any unacceptable
behaviour - because there are two kinds of people in the world, my friend:
those with a rope around their neck and the people who do the cutting.
THE BAD
--- "That an accusation?"
No perfectly groomed moustache or any amount of fine clothing is going to
cover up the truth - these plug-ins are Bad with a capital B.
They look fine on the outside, and might even appear to get the job done, but
at the end of the day they're a black sheep. Without a golden-haired angel
to watch over them, they'll probably land in an unmarked grave at the final
showdown.
Don't bug us about their quality - exercise your Free Software rights,
patch up the offender and send us the patch on the fastest steed you can
steal from the Confederates. Because you see, in this world, there's two
kinds of people, my friend: those with loaded guns and those who dig.
You dig.
The Lowdown
-----------
--- "I've never seen so many plug-ins wasted so badly."
GStreamer Plug-ins has grown so big that it's hard to separate the wheat from
the chaff. Also, distributors have brought up issues about the legal status
of some of the plug-ins we ship. To remedy this, we've divided the previous
set of available plug-ins into four modules:
- gst-plugins-base: a small and fixed set of plug-ins, covering a wide range
of possible types of elements; these are continuously kept up-to-date
with any core changes during the development series.
- We believe distributors can safely ship these plug-ins.
- People writing elements should base their code on these elements.
- These elements come with examples, documentation, and regression tests.
- gst-plugins-good: a set of plug-ins that we consider to have good quality
code, correct functionality, our preferred license (LGPL for the plug-in
code, LGPL or LGPL-compatible for the supporting library).
- We believe distributors can safely ship these plug-ins.
- People writing elements should base their code on these elements.
- gst-plugins-ugly: a set of plug-ins that 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 we'd
like. The code might be widely known to present patent problems.
- Distributors should check if they want/can ship these plug-ins.
- People writing elements should base their code on these elements.
- gst-plugins-bad: 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.
If the blanks are filled in they might be upgraded to become part of
either gst-plugins-good or gst-plugins-ugly, depending on the other factors.
- If the plug-ins break, you can't complain - instead, you can fix the
problem and send us a patch, or bribe someone into fixing them for you.
- New contributors can start here for things to work on.
INSTALLING FROM PACKAGES
------------------------
You should always prefer installing from packages first. GStreamer is
well-maintained for a number of distributions, including Fedora, Debian,
Ubuntu, Mandrake, Gentoo, ...
Only in cases where you:
- want to hack on GStreamer
- want to verify that a bug has been fixed
- do not have a sane distribution
should you choose to build from source tarballs or CVS.
Find more information about the various packages at
http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/download/
COMPILING FROM SOURCE TARBALLS
------------------------------
- again, make sure that you really need to install from source !
If GStreamer is one of your first projects ever that you build from source,
consider taking on an easier project.
COMPILING FROM SOURCE
---------------------
- make sure you compiled and at least did a test-run of GStreamer (core)
- check output of ./configure --help to see if any options apply to you
- configure the source tree:
- if you installed GStreamer, then do:
./configure
If configure complains about missing GStreamer, you should try the
following command:
$export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=prefix/lib/pkgconfig
where prefix should be replaced by the prefix you used to configure
GStreamer. (Be mindful NOT to ADD a trailing / to that option !).
After that, rerun ./configure. If this doesn't fix it, you have other
issues ;)
- if you didn't install GStreamer, you can still compile the plug-ins.
Add the path to gstreamer-uninstalled.pc (which lives in the gstreamer
source tree) to PKG_CONFIG_PATH
or run configure --with-pkg-config-path=(path to gstreamer uninstalled)
- the output of configure will give you a list of plug-ins with external
dependencies (ie, depending on other libs, see below). By no means
should you try to get them all built on your first run. This is hard
enough as it is ;) Resist the urge to get the most features for now.
It doesn't list all of the non-depending plug-ins, which get built
regardless (unless you explicitly asked it not to).
- build the tree:
- run
./configure
make
If any plug-in causes a problem at this stage, you should re-configure
with --disable-(dependency)
and doublecheck if configure reports this plug-in as being disabled.
Then re-run make.
- install:
- if you installed GStreamer, and want to install the plug-ins as well, run
make install
and, as root, run
gst-register
- if you installed GStreamer, but don't want to install the plug-ins, run
gst-register --gst-plugin-path=.
- if you didn't install GStreamer, then do
path/to/gstreamer/tools/gst-register --gst-plugin-path=.
(Replace path/to/gstreamer obviously)
to build GStreamer.
- if you want to install it (not required), run
make install
- You should create a registry for things to work.
If you ran make install in the previous step, run
gst-register
as root.
- test:
- run
gst-launch sinesrc ! fakesink
and prefix gst-launch with the path to gstreamer/tools if you didn't install
GStreamer.
If this doesn't give any errors, you can abort it.
If you didn't install, run
tools/gst-register
as a normal user.
- try replacing fakesink with your choice of
osssink/esdsink/artsdsink/alsasink/jacksink (depending on what output
method you have available) and see if you hear a C tone.
- try out a simple test:
gst-launch fakesrc num_buffers=5 ! fakesink
(If you didn't install GStreamer, again prefix gst-launch with tools/)
- After this, you should look into installing an application, like
gst-player, gst-editor or monkey-media with rhythmbox.
If it outputs a bunch of messages from fakesrc and fakesink, everything is
ok.
- After this, you're ready to install gst-plugins, which will provide the
functionality you're probably looking for by now, so go on and read
that README.
COMPILING FROM CVS

When building from CVS sources, you will need to run autogen.sh to generate
the build system files.
GStreamer is cutting-edge stuff. To be a CVS developer, you need
what used to be considered cutting-edge tools.
You will need a set of additional tools typical for building from CVS,
including:
- autoconf
- automake
- libtool
ATM, most of us have at least these versions :
* autoconf 2.52 (NOT 2.52d)
* automake 1.5
* gettext 0.11.5
* libtool 1.4 (NOT Gentoo's genetic failure 1.4.2)
* pkg-config 0.8.0

PLUG-IN DEPENDENCIES AND LICENSES
---------------------------------
GStreamer is developed under the terms of the LGPL (see LICENSE file for
details). Some of our plug-ins however rely on libraries which are available
under other licenses. This means that if you are using an application which
has a non-GPL compatible license (for instance a closed-source application)
GStreamer is developed under the terms of the LGPL (see LICENSE file for
details). Some of our plug-ins however rely on libraries which are available
under other licenses. This means that if you are using an application which
has a non-GPL compatible license (for instance a closed-source application)
with GStreamer, you have to make sure not to use GPL-linked plug-ins.
When using GPL-linked plug-ins, GStreamer is for all practical reasons
under the GPL itself.

HISTORY
-------
The fundamental design comes from the video pipeline at Oregon Graduate
Institute, as well as some ideas from DirectMedia. It's based on plug-ins that
will provide the various codec and other functionality. The interface
hopefully is generic enough for various companies (ahem, Apple) to release
binary codecs for Linux, until such time as they get a clue and release the
source.

GStreamer: Release notes for GStreamer Good Plug-ins 0.9.1 "Blondie"
The GStreamer team is petrified to announce a new release
in the 0.9.x development series of the
GStreamer Good Plug-ins.
The 0.9.x series is a development series and not recommended for end users.
It is not API or ABI compatible with the stable 0.8.x series.
It is, however, parallel installable with the 0.8.x series.
"Such ingratitude. After all the times I've saved your life."
A collection of plug-ins you'd want to have right next to you on the
battlefield. Shooting sharp and making no mistakes, these plug-ins have it
all: good looks, good code, and good licensing. Documented and dressed up
in tests. If you're looking for a role model to base your own plug-in on,
here it is.
If you find a plot hole or a badly lip-synced line of code in them,
let us know - it is a matter of honour for us to ensure Blondie doesn't look
like he's been walking 100 miles through the desert without water.
This module contains a set of plug-ins that we consider to have good quality
code, correct functionality, our preferred license (LGPL for the plug-in
code, LGPL or LGPL-compatible for the supporting library).
We believe distributors can safely ship these plug-ins.
People writing elements should base their code on these elements.
Other modules containing plug-ins are:
gst-plugins-base
contains a basic set of well-supported plug-ins
gst-plugins-ugly
contains a set of well-supported plug-ins, but might pose problems for
distributors
gst-plugins-bad
contains a set of less supported plug-ins that haven't passed the
rigorous quality testing we expect
Features of this release
* Parallel installability with 0.8.x series
* Threadsafe design and API
