Installing gstreamer-plugins-bad on Ubuntu

[william.l.metcalf]

Hello all,

I recently download the source for gst-plugins-bad-0.10.22 from the
gstreamer website.

After download the source folder, I ran ./configure in the main
directory of the folder, then ran make, then ran make install.  As far
as I know I did not get any errors doing any of these steps.  However,
when I go run gst-inspect from terminal, I do not see any of the
elements which were included in this plug-in.  Is there another step
that I must do to get the elements working in terminal, or did I miss
some steps during the installation?

Thank you all,
William

Where are you installing the plugins to?
Is it in GST_PLUGIN_PATH environment variable?

Why are you installing from source? It's best to use packages really.
There's a GStreamer PPA for ubuntu with the latest versions.

Cheers

I was installing from source because I could not find a package that had
the latest version of the bad plugins (0.10.22).  Do you have a link or
anything I can follow to find this PPA with the latest versions?

Thank you very much,
William

If your source download is because you are missing plugins from the
distributed version then I would first ask if you know that
gstplugins-bad is split across 2 packages as distributed by Ubuntu - a
filtered listing from my Ubuntu 10.04 system follows:

dev64:~$ dpkg -l | grep gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad
ii  gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad                              
0.10.18-1ubuntu1                                GStreamer plugins from
the "bad" set
ii  gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad-doc                          
0.10.18-1ubuntu1                                GStreamer documentation
for plugins from the "bad" se
ii  gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad-multiverse                    
0.10.18-0ubuntu1                                GStreamer plugins from
the "bad" set (Multiverse Vari

If you are missing the gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad-multiverse package then
that may be the simple solution for you.

Building just one component from source is going to be a problem because
you have to mesh with the rest of the gstreamer install performed by the
Ubuntu installation because the gstreamer libraries are released as a
set. To accomplish this you need to either check the version Ubuntu
releases and use that source version or install an all new version.
There is a PPA of the latest gstreamer for Ubuntu that saves trying to
compile all of gstreamer if newer than released versions are required.
Just running ./configure with no parameters will install it in
/usr/local not /usr and therefore will not be found by the Ubuntu
portion of the install.

If what I am saying is obvious to you then my apologies, I don't know
your experience level.

Just a little question about this PPA, the PPA seems to have only the 'gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad' package, and doesn't have the 'gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad-multiverse' package. Is there a reason why the multiverse package is not in the PPA?

Thnx,

HJ

I don't know the answer to that because I am not involved in the build.
I did check the Lucid version which is the system I use by looking at
the properties file list in Synaptic for the Ubuntu released packages
and downloading the .deb files from the PPA and looking at them with
archive manager. The bad and ugly PPA packages are the same content as
the Ubuntu released versions and therefore contain the exact same files
other than the revision of source code used to build them. This makes
sense or a real mess would result with the package manager. I often need
the ugly-multiverse package which is also not in the PPA because it has
the x264 encoder interface.
