no element "vaapidecodebin"

[Dilip Yadav]

Hello all. I am new to gstreamer.
I have installed the gstreamer  1.9.1 in uninstalled way in my home directory.I am using Ubuntu 14.04.
To use gstreamer-vaapi, I had to install libva and intel-driver for integrated HD graphics. Then I compiled gstreamer-vaapi 1.9.1 . It is working somehow. And gst-inspect-1.0 recognizes the vaapi elements.

The command works though with some delay.
 "gst-launch-1.0 filesrc location=/home/ct/test.mp4 ! qtdemux ! vaapidecodebin ! vaapipostproc width=640 ! vaapisink"

But the problem starts when I reboot the system.When I run the command it says:
WARNING: erroneous pipeline: no element "vaapidecodebin"

I have tried following:
1.cd to gst/master directory and run the script "gst-uninstalled" .
  As far as I know this script sets the environment variables of gstreamer plugins.But this doesn't help.
2.Again installling libva and intel-driver . Then recompiling gstreamer-vaapi. This works again.

Will I need to do it every time I boot the machine? Please help.

If I understand correctly you are having troubles to work in a gst-uninstalled
environment, there are not precisely problems related with gstreamer-vaapi.

You can use as reference

This is because you are in you system environment, using the system's
gstreamer setup, not the one you compiled.

This is odd, because you said you installed gstreamer 1.9.1 but you are using
gst/master with gst-unistalled, which is master, not the tag 1.9.1

I you follow the instructions in the page I referred before, you should have a
symbolic link to gst-unstalled in gst/ named gst-master which you should
execute to set up the uninstalled environment *for master branch*. You could
also have a symbolic link to gst-1.9 aiming to release 1.9, for example.

Nope, you just have to setup your uninstalled environment correctly. And it is
tricky if you use libva and intel-driver in a uninstalled fashion. It would be
easier if you install the dev packages in you system. Otherwise, you have to
modify your gst-unistalled script to add the proper variables aiming to your
libva and intel-driver directories.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply.

I have moved to gstreamer version 1.8.2. And everything is working as expected.
