Currently, I am suffering this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/brasero/+bug/270976 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/brasero/+bug/270976/comments/33 In summary, I am unable to burn a SVCD/DVD from a mpeg file with brasero: "Project -> New Video Project -> Add (add video.mpeg) -> Burn" I am unable to click on burn because of "missing plugins" From ubuntu bug report, seems that the problem is related with mplex plugin not being built. I have tried to rebuild gst-plugins-bad and seems that it is being skipped. I have also tried to search for any gst-plugins-mplex (or something else) without success My emerge --info: Portage 2.1.6.13 (default/linux/amd64/2008.0/desktop, gcc-4.3.2, glibc-2.8_p20080602-r1, 2.6.29-tuxonice-r3 x86_64) ================================================================= System uname: Linux-2.6.29-tuxonice-r3-x86_64-Intel-R-_Core-TM-2_Duo_CPU_T9300_@_2.50GHz-with-glibc2.2.5 Timestamp of tree: Sat, 20 Jun 2009 13:30:19 +0000 ccache version 2.4 [enabled] app-shells/bash: 3.2_p39 dev-java/java-config: 2.1.7 dev-lang/python: 2.5.4-r2 dev-python/pycrypto: 2.0.1-r8 dev-util/ccache: 2.4-r7 dev-util/cmake: 2.6.4 sys-apps/baselayout: 1.12.11.1 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.6-r2 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.63 sys-devel/automake: 1.5, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r2, 1.10.2 sys-devel/binutils: 2.18-r3 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.4.1 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.26 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.27-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64" CBUILD="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O2 -pipe -march=native" CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/3.5/env /usr/kde/3.5/share/config /usr/kde/3.5/shutdown /usr/share/config /var/lib/hsqldb" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/ca-certificates.conf /etc/env.d /etc/env.d/java/ /etc/fonts/fonts.conf /etc/gconf /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/sandbox.d /etc/terminfo /etc/texmf/language.dat.d /etc/texmf/language.def.d /etc/texmf/updmap.d /etc/texmf/web2c /etc/udev/rules.d" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -pipe -march=native" DISTDIR="/usr/distfiles" FEATURES="autoaddcvs ccache cvs distlocks fixpackages multilib-strict parallel-fetch protect-owned sandbox sfperms strict test test-fail-continue unmerge-orphans userfetch" GENTOO_MIRRORS="ftp://ftp.free.fr/mirrors/ftp.gentoo.org" LANG="es_ES.UTF-8" LC_ALL="es_ES.UTF-8" LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1" LINGUAS="es es_ES en_US" MAKEOPTS="-j3" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_CONFIGROOT="/" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --stats --timeout=180 --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/portage/local/layman/sunrise /usr/portage/local/layman/wschlich-testing /usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="X a52 aac acl acpi alsa amd64 applet avahi bash-completion berkdb bluetooth branding bzip2 cairo cdda cddb cdinstall cdr cleartype cli consolekit cracklib crypt css cups daap dbus dell djvu dri dts dvd dvdr dvdread dvi eds emboss encode evo exif fam fat ffmpeg firefox flac fortran fuse gdbm gif git glitz gnome gnome-keyring gpm gstreamer gtk hal iconv ieee1394 imagemagick isdnlog java jpeg kdeenablefinal kdehiddenvisibility kpathsea laptop latex libnotify lm_sensors lyx lzma mad midi mikmod mmx mmxext mono mp3 mpeg mudflap multilib musicbrainz nautilus ncurses network network-cron networkmanager nls nptl nptlonly ntfs nvidia ogg opengl openmp pam pango pch pcre pdf perl png ppds pppd python qt3support qt4 quicktime readline reflection reiserfs scanner sdl session spell spl sse sse2 ssl ssse3 startup-notification subversion svg sysfs t1lib tcpd threads tiff truetype unicode usb v4l2 vcd vdpau vorbis webkit xattr xcb xml xmp xorg xpm xulrunner xv xvid zeroconf zlib" ALSA_CARDS="hda-intel" ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS="adpcm alaw asym copy dmix dshare dsnoop empty extplug file hooks iec958 ioplug ladspa lfloat linear meter mmap_emul mulaw multi null plug rate route share shm softvol" APACHE2_MODULES="actions alias auth_basic authn_alias authn_anon authn_dbm authn_default authn_file authz_dbm authz_default authz_groupfile authz_host authz_owner authz_user autoindex cache dav dav_fs dav_lock deflate dir disk_cache env expires ext_filter file_cache filter headers include info log_config logio mem_cache mime mime_magic negotiation rewrite setenvif speling status unique_id userdir usertrack vhost_alias" ELIBC="glibc" INPUT_DEVICES="evdev synaptics" KERNEL="linux" LCD_DEVICES="bayrad cfontz cfontz633 glk hd44780 lb216 lcdm001 mtxorb ncurses text" LINGUAS="es es_ES en_US" USERLAND="GNU" VIDEO_CARDS="nvidia nv" Unset: CPPFLAGS, CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, FFLAGS, INSTALL_MASK, PORTAGE_COMPRESS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS Reproducible: Always
Created attachment 195518 [details] build.log gst-plugins-bad build.log showing that mplex plugin is not been built
From the log it's seen that it has an external dependency, hence the solution is to package it as a separate package. Note to me and other gstreamer packagers: The build.log shows that vcdsrc is getting built as part of gst-plugins-bad, but under the section with external dependencies. Smells like an automagic enable, and perhaps some problem with not listing vcdsrc in the eclass. Maybe it also means it'd make sense to have a separate package that includes both of vcdsrc and mplex plugins? My current plan is to get the existing packages bumped up to date soon, and then look into packaging all the external dep plugins that we are missing out right now. This bug existence means that out of those I'd probably take care of mplex as one of the first new ones to get added. No promises on when exactly I get that far with my work backlog though.
Well, thanks for explanation :-)
media-plugins/gst-plugins-mplex-0.10.19 is in the tree now. As a side note, maybe brasero should have explicit deps behind some USE flags on some of the gstreamer plugins that it tries to create explicitly with gst_element_factory_make calls?
Note that you'll probably also need gst-plugins-mpeg2enc for the brasero SVCD/DVD thing. I have added a package for that as well now. Many thanks to "arthapex" for testing
