Description Priit Laes (IRC: plaes) 2013-08-24 11:02:10 UTC

Rygel requires gst-plugins-soup when acting as playback device. If that plugin is not installed, following error is shown on console and playback does not work:

** (rygel:21131): WARNING **: rygel-playbin-player.vala:438: Error from GStreamer element playbin0: No URI handler implemented for "http". (gsturidecodebin.c(1332): gen_source_element (): /GstPlayBin:playbin0/GstURIDecodeBin:uridecodebin1)

Comment 1 Priit Laes (IRC: plaes) 2013-08-24 19:30:30 UTC

Better approach would be media-plugins/gst-plugins-meta[http] dependency.

No gst-plugins-meta is not meant to be depended on.
A package that requires a specific plugin needs to depend on it directly.

Also, since rygel is RDEPENDing on libsoup, probably gst libsoup plugin should be handled in the same way

+  08 Sep 2013; Gilles Dartiguelongue <eva@gentoo.org> rygel-0.16.4.ebuild,
+  rygel-0.18.3.ebuild, rygel-0.18.4.ebuild:
+  Add gst-plugins-soup to dependencies per bug #482316, it was introduced in
+  0.16 series.

It was a hard to detect dependency since afaik it wasn't written in ChangeLog or NEWS. Anyway found the code trying to use it and added proper dependency. I didn't went as far a split true runtime only dependency from build time dependency, maybe in a later bump.

Thanks for reporting.
