how to cleanly re-install gstreamer? Help!!
Locked
 
|
Hi,
I compiled and installed the latest gst-rtsp-server, and updated gstreamer itself based on the error messages from gst-rtsp-server installation. However, after these steps, I could no longer find some plugins like mad, xvimagesink, v4l2src, etc. I have tried re-installing the latest versions of all plugin packages. I have also tried to remove, then re-install all plugins from Synaptic Package Manager. Got some plugin, like v4l2src, back, but mad, xvimagesink are still missing. autovideosink is there, but some pipleine which works is no longer working. For example: gst-launch v4l2src device=/dev/video0 ! autovideosink >>>>>> Error messages: Setting pipeline to PAUSED ... ERROR: Pipeline doesn't want to pause. ERROR: from element /GstPipeline:pipeline0/GstAutoVideoSink:autovideosink0: Could not initialize supporting library. Additional debug info: gstautovideosink.c(373): gst_auto_video_sink_detect (): /GstPipeline:pipeline0/GstAutoVideoSink:autovideosink0: Failed to set target pad Setting pipeline to NULL ... Freeing pipeline ... gst-launch filesrc location=Videos/xyz.avi ! decodebin ! autovideosink >>>>>>>>> Error messages: Setting pipeline to PAUSED ... Pipeline is PREROLLING ... ERROR: from element /GstPipeline:pipeline0/GstDecodeBin:decodebin0/GstAviDemux:avidemux0: Internal data stream error. Additional debug info: gstavidemux.c(4443): gst_avi_demux_loop (): /GstPipeline:pipeline0/GstDecodeBin:decodebin0/GstAviDemux:avidemux0: streaming stopped, reason not-linked ERROR: pipeline doesn't want to preroll. Setting pipeline to NULL ... Freeing pipeline ... Does anyone know why? Is it possible to re-install a clean version of gstreamer? Yiliang |

Generally it's not a good idea to switch out a different version of
the GStreamer core under the feet of installed plugins. When you do that, you should rebuild the plugins. I'm assuming you are on Linux since you use Synaptic Package Manager. You have two options to recover a working gstreamer installation: 1. Reinstall all gstreamer packages from the package manager. You will lose the ability to use gst-rtsp-server and your compiled gstreamer core will be overwritten with what's in the package manager. Figuring out the names of every gstreamer package in order to reinstall them is a question you should ask to your Linux distribution support channel. 2. Compile all the desired gstreamer plugins from source. This will overwrite any plugins with the same names from the package manager. Also, if you ever allow your package manager to apply a software "update" to your gstreamer packages, it will happily overwrite your work. To prevent that, you may want to place a "hold" on these packages to indicate they should not be upgraded. Again, a question for your distribution support. For this option you'll also need the development packages of the plugins' many dependencies. Depending on how thorough your distribution is, this method could take a lot of work. GStreamer is just a set of files -- shared libraries, mostly. Treat it as such. A "clean install", intuitively, consists of deleting all the current files and installing new ones to replace them. If you use your package manager, it does that automatically and lets you think of it in terms of "installed" and "uninstalled" (an unnecessary abstraction for this case). If you compile from source, you're just overwriting the files that the package manager claims to have "installed". -Sean On Sat, Sep 5, 2009 at 5:06 PM, Yiliang Bao<[hidden email]> wrote: > > Hi, > > I compiled and installed the latest gst-rtsp-server, and updated gstreamer > itself based on the error messages from gst-rtsp-server installation. > However, after these steps, I could no longer find some plugins like mad, > xvimagesink, v4l2src, etc. > > I have tried re-installing the latest versions of all plugin packages.

As long as both core versions satisfy the requirements of the plugins, you should be fine. dave... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.

Hi Sean,
Thanks a lot for the detailed explanation. I tried both options. Here is what I encountered. Some of information might be helpful for other people who gets into the same trouble. What I did --> Originally I installed all the packages using "apt-get ****" from command line. So they should be official releases. I upgraded gstreamer by compiling the latest source, it worked fine after resolving some library issues. After I ran ./configure for the latest base plugin package before I ran make and install, I found that all the old plugins (almost) were gone. I was able to resolve most dependencies by installing the development libraries (libXXX-dev) except for 4 plugins related to header files. After I installed the base set, I moved on to the good set, and found more problems. I patiently tried to solve all the library related dependency issues, but was left with more plugins that could not be built because of header file related issues. After I finished upgrading base and good set. I tried to construct some pipelines with plugins already installed after my best efforts mentioned above, but no luck. These pipelines that were working previously no longer worked. 1. Reinstall the old packages from package manager After I messed up with gstreamer, I tried to install the old packages using "apt-get" command, but it said all the packages are the latest, even though I knew most plugins were already removed. So this option seems to have some problem. 2. Continue compiling from source After wasting quite some time, I decided to move ahead with other packages by ignoring these plugins that I had no idea how to resolve the issues. Resolving library related dependency issues was rather tedious, but it is fairly straightforward. I just tried to find the development libraries in package manager with name similar to that complained in the ./configure output. Finally, I was able to able to install all the packages. Although many plugins were left un-installed, gstreamer works fine for the functions I tested, and RTSP server is also working now. Thanks again for all the replies! Yiliang

You could just use "aptitude reinstall" (I think even apt-get has a reinstall command). That will put a new copy of the package on top of the old one. Not sure if it purges it first, but in this case it shouldn't matter. > > So this option seems to have some problem. > > 2.
