Bug 418077 – media-plugins/gst-plugins-vaapi: new ebuild request

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Matt Turner 2012-05-29 02:48:47 UTC]

This needs to be in portage.

[Comment 1 dE 2012-10-01 11:28:02 UTC]

There're ebuilds in the overlays, but the 2.5 ones don't build and others require .36 gstreamer.

[Comment 2 Gilles Dartiguelongue (RETIRED) 2012-12-28 00:03:18 UTC]

I added a preliminary ebuild to gnome overlay.

It should work but I just noticed that it most likely needs other dependencies to be packaged like git://gitorious.org/vaapi/gstreamer-codecparsers.git

Anyway could you have a look at the ebuild and test it ?

[Comment 3 dE 2013-02-01 18:27:32 UTC]

It still needs .36 (which's masked), so I wont be testing it for the mean time.

[Comment 4 Gilles Dartiguelongue (RETIRED) 2013-02-01 19:25:10 UTC]

0.10.36 is currently being stabilized at bug #454906.

[Comment 5 Matt Turner 2013-05-01 18:44:55 UTC]

Created attachment 347058 [details]
gst-plugins-vaapi-0.5.3.ebuild

New 0.5.3 ebuild with gstreamer 1.0 support. Please fix-up and add to gnome overlay and/or tree?

[Comment 6 dE 2013-05-04 07:14:46 UTC]

I got this compiled, but it only works against 1.0 -- 

gst-inspect-1.0 | grep vaapi
vaapi:  vaapidecode: VA-API decoder
vaapi:  vaapipostproc: VA-API video postprocessing
vaapi:  vaapisink: VA-API sink

$ gst-inspect-0.10 | grep vaapi
$

So I'm trying out parole with this.

Also how can I configure gstreamer to use this?

[Comment 7 dE 2013-05-04 08:09:14 UTC]

However using gst-launch-1.0 I can confirm this works.

[Comment 8 Matt Turner 2013-05-06 03:28:41 UTC]

Its webpage just says

"""
GStreamer / codecparsers is a mirror for gst-plugind-bad but only with the bitstream parsers and additional local changes needed for gstreamer-vaapi development. In particular, this allows for faster development / testing of bitstream parsers or providing newer versions than what are installed system-wide.
"""

so I don't think we should package it.

[Comment 9 Matt Turner 2013-05-06 03:53:13 UTC]

Oh, but support for H264 needed by -vaapi isn't in gst-plugins-bad-1.0. It'll be available in 1.2.0. *sigh*

Pacho added the gstreamer 1.2 using gst-plugins-vaapi-0.5.8 to tree; perhaps you can test the fine details of it, e.g encoding and the likes. Keep in mind that the intention is that in all cases where it's possible - it should just automatically end up being used, without any manual intervention via decodebin and such.
