[gentoo-user] What package provides gstreamer-app?

[gentoo-user] What package provides gstreamer-app?

[waltdnes]

  I've successfully manually compiled Pale Moon (a Firefox fork), but it
doesn't play h264 files.  Apparently, I have to enable gstreamer for
that.  OK, I did it.  This time the build fails with...

configure:20206: checking for gstreamer-0.10 >= 0.10.25
                      gstreamer-app-0.10
                      gstreamer-plugins-base-0.10
*** Fix above errors and then restart with         "make -f client.mk build"

  I built libgstreamer and the base plugins package.  It still fails.
I can't find which package provides gstreamer-app.  Searching Google
reveals that a lot of other people have the same problem.
http://www.portagefilelist.de/ doesn't have any results.  Any ideas?

I have some gstreamer stuff installed here and I didn't find any matches
either.  If that filelist site doesn't list it either, makes me wonder
what does install that file.  :/

Probably you need to start a completely fresh build?
Also you might want to build against gstreamer:1.0 (AFAIK it is not the
default but there should be a configure switch)

Are you using the same versions with the same USE flags?

  "find" finds /usr/lib/pkgconfig/gstreamer-app-1.0.pc and
/usr/lib/pkgconfig/gstreamer-plugins-base-1.0.pc on my 32-bit install.
I don't know if the Pale Moon build is looking specifically for version
0.10.  I'll check further on the Pale Moon support forum.

  That error message is rather cryptic.  Apparently, it means that it
needs specifically the 0.10-X series.  Searching through old threads in
the Pale Moon support forum revealed that there are "major issues" with
gstreamer-1.X support, so the build only supports the 0.10-X series of
gstreamer and plugins.  This is also a problem in Firefox, from which
Pale Moon is forked.  Fortunately, there are still 0.10-X series ebuilds
in the tree.  Just to be safe, I set up a local overlay with only the
0.10-X series versions of media-libs/

gst-plugins-bad
gst-plugins-base
gst-plugins-good
gst-plugins-ugly
gst-rtsp-server
gstreamer

  I unmerged the version 1.X gstreamer and plugins, masked out >= 0.11
versions and emerged gst-plugins-base, which also pulled in gstreamer.
The Pale Moon build is churning along now, and I'll find out in a couple
of hours how it works with h264.  The web site...
http://www.quirksmode.org/html5/tests/video.html has h264, webm, and
ogg/theora test videos.  I currently have webm and ogg/theora working.
The gstreamer-enabled build will hopefully also run the h264 video.
This will also be useful for Youtube in HTML5 mode.

There is no need to remove the 1.x version of gstreamer (unless you
just don't need it anymore).  The 0.8, 0.10, and 1.x branches of
gstreamer are each slotted (well, the ancient 0.8 release is gone from
the tree as nothing uses it any more) specifically so that they can be
installed in parallel, and upstream actually supports doing so (which
is why the ABI version number is in the name of every library, plugin
directory, and executable).

  Success.  After a bit of experimenting I've gotten h.264 working at
the quirksmode website, and on Youtube.  Pale Moon browser requires...

    gstreamer
    gst-plugins-base
    gst-plugins-good
    gst-plugins-ffmpeg

  A confusing item is that gst-plugins-base and gst-plugins-good are in
media-libs/ but gst-plugins-ffmpeg and 77 others are in media-plugins/
Go figure.

  Nothing on my system requires 1.X and I prefer a lean system.
