Bug 85018 – gstreamer 0.8.8 refuses to work properly

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED INVALID

[Description Olivier Crete (RETIRED) 2005-03-12 13:29:02 UTC]

After doing the upgrade to gstreamer 0.8.8 and gnome 2.6.2 (using stable x86 packages), gstreamer stopped working. I tried to run gstreamer-properties from gnome-media 2.8.0 and the only choice I have is "Custom", And then I tried clicking on "Test" and I get an error message. I also have the following error messages:

arg.. I think this is beause I used a gcc with the hardened stuff... 
Btw, you should probably put gstreamer in the metadata.xml for those files..
