gstreamer-1.24.1 gst-plugins-base gst-plugins-good gst-plugins-bad gst-plugins-ugly gst-libav gstreamer-vaapi

[Bruce Dubbs]

New minor version.

FWIW I'm considering to remove -Dpackage-origin= and -Dpackage-name options because other packages also have similar options but we don't use them. So to be consistent we should just use the upstream default.

And these options are nastily long.

In gst-plugins-good elements_flvmux can intermittently fail: ​https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gstreamer/-/issues/2803

In gst-plugins-base elements_theoradec can fail if libogg is installed: ​https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gstreamer/-/merge_requests/6260

[Xi Ruoyao]

In gst-plugins-bad elements_vapostproc fails for me. Not sure why, maybe related to graphic card capability?

[Xi Ruoyao]

Oops, it breaks snapshot.

It seems pipewire needs to be patched: ​https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pipewire/pipewire/-/merge_requests/1881

but after that snapshot still does not work. Maybe we need snapshot 46 (and gtk 4.14).

[Douglas R. Reno]

Let's hold off until we have a new snapshot and maybe pipewire

[Rahul Chandra]

Seems like pipewire-1.0.4 contains the fix

But snapshot still does not work for me. And it seems not "only I": ​https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/snapshot/-/issues/134

No, the fix is not in 1.0 branch. With the fix manually applied gnome-shell-46 screen recorder is correctly using the GPU for video scaling and color format conversion (the GPU encoding is deferred into 47). But even with the pipewire master branch snapshot still does not work for me.

I guess I've misdiagnosed the issue. Maybe snapshot has been broken for a long time and I just noticed it recently...

And w/o the fix gnome-shell-46 screen recorder still works (it falls back to CPU for video scaling and color format conversion).

[Xi Ruoyao]

Someone reported the snapshot issue is reproducible even with gstreamer 1.22.

We'll need this wireplumber patch:

​https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pipewire/wireplumber/-/merge_requests/625.diff

See ​https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/issues/3354#note_2062201.

But it still does not fix Snapshot for me.

[Douglas R. Reno]

I'll definitely get that patch in Wireplumber to go with it

The patch has been applied for wireplumber 0.5.1 release (#19567).
