Installing the new version of GStreamer on raspberry

[TouchOfDestiny]

Hi,

I noticed that the version installed on my raspberry (Debian Jessie) was very old: 1.4.4. I tried to update it with apt-get, without success. Then, I decided to install it manually. The problem now is that when I enter gst-launch-1.0 --version the system shows
gst-launch-1.0 version 1.12.1 but
GStreamer version 1.4.4.

I don't know if this is correct. If not, is there a way toto update it properly?

Thanks!
David.

It's not entirely correct.

What it means is that the gst-launch-1.0 you are running is the one
from 1.12 (so your PATH is fine), but that the libgstreamer-1.0.so that
gets picked up by the dynamic linker is the old system one (1.4) and
not the new one you compiled.

First thing to try is: run 'sudo ldconfig'

If that doesn't help, check if the library directory of your install
prefix is in /etc/ld.so.conf*

You can also manually set/export the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment
variable and point it to the lib directory of the prefix where you
installed the new GStreamer into.

Cheers

Hi Tim and thanks for your answer!

The versions are both correct. Unfortunately I have a warning now:

WARNING: erroneous pipeline: no element "alsasrc".

This has probably to do with plugins. But I installed them too. Do you have any idea?

Thanks,
D.

Hi Tim,

I managed to install it by downloading a script that installs and compiles everything:

Thanks for your suggestion.
