Bug 293642 – media-video/cheese-2.28.1 misses some gstreamer runtime dependency

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description MarisN 2009-11-18 19:03:38 UTC]

I emerged media-video/cheese-2.28.1 with v4l use flag. Cheese launches but complains about missing gstreamer feature "One or more needed gstreamer elements are missing: videobalance." Clicking OK closes Cheese.



Reproducible: Always



Expected Results:  
If it's impossible to run Cheese without this "videobalance" thing, then it must be set as hard dependency.

interesting.

[Comment 2 Romain Perier (RETIRED) 2009-11-20 20:38:52 UTC]

Could you try to emerge gst-plugins-good (videobalance is in these plugins) if it's not installed yet, and get back us ?

thanks in advance

[Comment 3 Romain Perier (RETIRED) 2009-11-20 20:39:08 UTC]

PS: Mart another idea ?

Indeed emerging media-libs/gst-plugins-good-0.10.17 fixed issue. Now I'm able to taste Cheese :)

Leaving open till it's fixed in portage.
