Bug 306855 – Add back in media-plugins/gst-plugins-amrnb-0.10.13

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Mike Auty (RETIRED) 2010-02-25 19:18:48 UTC]

Hiya,

Just a quick note to say that I couldn't figure out why amrnb was dropped from gstreamer's plugin list.  The removal notice simply says "Remove unported gst-plugins-amr plugins from tree. Need opencore-amr support, or have nothing."  There's no bug number referenced, and that was for gst-plugins-amrnb-0.10.12.  gst-plugins-amrnb-0.10.13 does seem to build fine against opencore-amr (and in fact fails without it), and it would be really nice to have it back again.  5:)

gst-plugins-amrwb is more of an issue (since there's only a decoder plugin and once built that doesn't appear to load the opencore-amr libraries), but that shouldn't prevent the amrnb plugin from being put back in the tree.

I can attach a very simple ebuild if necessary, but it appears just to need inheriting from gst-plugins-ugly and to depend on opencore-amr (there's only one version in the tree so it doesn't seem necessary to set a minimum version)...

Sorry, I'm not sure you read this clearly Samuli.  I'm saying that gst-plugins-amrnb-0.10.13 *does* build against opencore-amr, and therefore shouldn't fall foul of the license issues in bug 252140.  That's why I'm requesting that it be added back into the tree.

I don't have amrnb installed, but can compile and playback amrnb encoded audio using gst-plugins-amrnb-0.10.13.  I've add the ebuild into my (ikelos) overlay.  You can take a look at the ebuild I used at:

Sorry, I was plannig to re-add it but forgot/got bored. If you make an ebuild, I'll commit it. Otherwise you'll have to wait until one of us finds the time to do it.

Created attachment 221231 [details]
gst-plugins-amrnb-0.10.13.ebuild

Here's the ebuild from my overlay, I don't know that it necessarily has a requirement on the latest version of gstreamer, etc, but this was pretty much duplicated from gst-plugins-dvdnav with the dvdnav dependency changed to opencore-amr.

You're welcome to commit it, but if you're pushed for time and you're happy for it to go in under the gstreamer herd then I can add it to the tree too.  Just let me know which you'd prefer...  5:)

Should be easy to re-add now. Do you have a source of samples to see if it works once the plugin is installed ?

[Comment 6 Mike Auty (RETIRED) 2012-12-05 20:02:37 UTC]

I don't have any I can release publicly, but the voice recorder on android should generate new ones, and there are a couple of sample ones at:

http://samples.mplayerhq.hu/A-codecs/amr/sample.amr
http://samples.mplayerhq.hu/A-codecs/amr/sample2.amr

Unfortunately my totem seems to be freezing on any stream after one second, but I dunno if that's because I'm testing out gnome 3.6 or not.  Hopefully that'll give you enough to get going on, but let me know if you need more...

I just submitted a patch to mailing list that should allow us to provide amrnb and amrwb.
