Hi. Currently net-im/cawbird is able to compile and run and almost entirely work, but it will fail to play videos. The package media-plugins/gst-plugins-gtk is required to attempt to load any video and media-plugins/gst-plugins-hls is required to actually play them. Installing them makes video playback work. I checked and it doesn't appear to be possible to pull these in via USEflags on the main gst-plugins-good/bad/ugly/meta packages, so maybe Cawbird should RDEPEND them directly? Or maybe gst-plugins-meta needs more USEflags? Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install net-im/cawbird on a system that doesn't have a lot of other GStreamer packages installed. 2. Log in if necessary. Find a video post. Click the video. Actual Results: If gst-plugins-gtk is missing, a window appears with the following misleading error message (I have gst-plugins-bad installed and working): Could not create gtksink. Need gst-plugins-bad >= 1.6 If gst-plugins-hls is missing, a window appears with the following actually useful error message: ../gst-plugins-base-1.20.1/gst/playback/gsturidecodebin.c(1027): no_more_pads_full (): /GstPlayBin:video/GstURIDecodeBin:uridecodebin0: no suitable plugins found: ../gst-plugins-base-1.20.1/gst/playback/gstdecodebin2.c(4701): gst_decode_bin_expose (): /GstPlayBin:video/GstURIDecodeBin:uridecodebin0/GstDecodeBin:decodebin0: no suitable plugins found: Missing decoder: application/x-hls (application/x-hls) Expected Results: A borderless pop-up window appears that plays back the video.
