Description David 2016-08-15 19:12:12 UTC 
Hi,

It would be nice if media-plugins/gst-plugins-meta could provide an "hls" USE flag that depend on media-plugins/gst-plugins-hls.

I use corebird 1.3 (form my personal overlay) and now that Twitter use hls for streaming videos, it would be nice to depend on media-plugins/gst-plugins-meta[X,ffmpeg,hls] with the gstreamer USE flag enabled.

Reproducible: Always

the meta ebuild is not meant to be depended on, as stated in the ebuild. You must depend on plugins directly if you wish to control features in your application.

I already do. But when I saw corebird-1.1.ebuild in official portage tree that depend on gst-plugins-meta
..
	gstreamer? ( media-plugins/gst-plugins-meta:1.0[X,ffmpeg] )
..

I said to myself that is the better way. But if it's not the case, a new USE flag is effectively useless.
