| ===== |
| |
| ChangeLog |
| --------- |
| |
| The upstream ChangeLog is not included in all the plugin packages due to its |
| large size. Please see upstream sources if you are interested in detailed |
| source changes. |
| |
| Unofficial plugin packages |
| -------------------------- |
| |
| Various plugins in the upstream source are not yet packaged or not officially |
| supported. This is most likely due to: |
| |
| * upstream considers them too unstable |
| * libraries they depend on are not are yet in Debian or are poorly supported |
| |
| To build additional unofficial plugin packages: |
| |
| * Get the source and Debian diff (for example, "apt-get source gst-plugins") |
| * Add new package name to the EXTRA_PLUGINS variable in debian/rules |
| * Add appropriate dependency and control info to debian/extra |
| * Add a .install file for the package |
| * Rebuild |
| |
| Currently available untested and unsupported info has been added for: |
| * gstreamer-faac |
| * gstreamer-mpeg2enc |
| |
| External tools support |
| ---------------------- |
| |
| Your favorite codec isn't wrapped as a plugin? External programs can be |
| used to process streams. Take a look at "pipefilter" element or try |
| something like this (untested): |
| |
| $ mkfifo fifo |
| $ gst-launch myaudiosrc ! filesink location=fifo & |
| $ cat fifo | my_encoder > output_file |
