Bug 380695 – media-libs/gst-plugins-bad should ship dtsdec

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Florian Klink 2011-08-25 22:53:50 UTC]

Currently,

gst-plugins-bad (0.10.22) doesn't build the dtsdec plugin, so I don't have audio in some movies when playing with totem.


totem says:

** Message: Missing plugin: gstreamer|0.10|totem|DTS-Decoder|decoder-audio/x-dts, framed=(boolean)true, endianness=(int)4321, block-size=(int)512, frame-size=(int)1006 (DTS-Decoder)
** Message: Missing plugin: gstreamer|0.10|totem|DTS-Decoder|decoder-audio/x-dts, framed=(boolean)true, endianness=(int)4321, block-size=(int)512, frame-size=(int)2012 (DTS-Decoder)
** Message: Automatic missing codec installation not supported (helper script missing)



libgstdtsdec.so, that should come with gst-plugins-bad should fix that. But it's not built in the ebuild. could that be fixed?

[Comment 1 Arun Raghavan (RETIRED) 2011-08-26 04:07:05 UTC]

Thanks for reporting -- I've added a media-plugins/gst-plugins-dts package which provides dtsdec.

[Comment 2 Florian Klink 2011-08-26 09:23:43 UTC]

Tested it, works! Now I also have audio in totem.

Thanks :-)

Will this be added as a dependency for gst-plugins-meta[dts]?

VLC also has this USE flag for dts support...

[Comment 4 Alexander E. Patrakov 2011-10-22 12:35:58 UTC]

To the original reporter: I am glad that now you have working DTS audio in the movies with gst-plugins-dts. However, could you please confirm that installing gst-plugins-ffmpeg was not enough?

I am asking because libdca is currently unmaintained upstream, lacks some features like DTS-ES support, decodes some files incorrectly, and all the development is now in ffmpeg.

[Comment 5 Florian Klink 2011-10-22 23:08:59 UTC]

Nope, gst-plugins-ffmpeg is not enough.

I unmerged gst-plugins-dts, rebuilt ffmpeg and gst-plugins-ffmpeg.
(By the way, it seems to me as if gst-plugins-ffmpeg is using it's own ffmpeg....)

According to the build.log of gst-plugins-ffmpeg, dts support is enabled in the build, but totem still says:

* Message: Missing plugin: gstreamer|0.10|totem|DTS-Decoder|decoder-audio/x-dts, framed=(boolean)true, endianness=(int)4321, block-size=(int)512, frame-size=(int)2012 (DTS-Decoder)
** Message: Automatic missing codec installation not supported (helper script missing)

Sound is then of course missing.

[Comment 6 Alexander E. Patrakov 2011-11-03 05:33:33 UTC]

This bug is probably a duplicate of https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=608892 , and the resolution is correct. When the upstream bug is closed, the decision to build a libdca-based decoder should be reconsidered, as it will become obsolete.
