Parole-0.5.4

[Alessandro]

To see Parole working you need gst-plugins-good-0.10.31 (required dependencies)

[Fernando de Oliveira]

We have:

Required

gst-plugins-base-0.10.36 or gst-plugins-base-1.2.4

Therefore, I assume your statement would also include gst-plugins-good-1.2.4

Either ldd or scanelf only find refernce to gst in /usr/bin/parole, npt in the two libraries:

        libgstpbutils-1.0.so.0
	libgstaudio-1.0.so.0
	libgsttag-1.0.so.0
	libgstvideo-1.0.so.0
	libgstbase-1.0.so.0
	libgstreamer-1.0.so.0

gstreamer-1.2.4 installs:

/usr/lib/libgstbase-1.0.so.0
/usr/lib/libgstreamer-1.0.so.0

gst-plugins-base-1.2.4 installs:

/usr/lib/libgstaudio-1.0.so.0
/usr/lib/libgstpbutils-1.0.so.0
/usr/lib/libgsttag-1.0.so.0
/usr/lib/libgstvideo-1.0.so.0

In the log, I also find refernces only to gstreamer and gst-plugins-bas.

I could not find where the "good" plugins appear as required by parole, although I have both versions of all of them installed.

This is the same as everything else using either version of gstreamer (for example, firefox):

At RUN time it needs the appropriate plugins for whatever you are trying to view. As a general rule, install all of them! (good, bad, ugly, ffmpeg/libav), after installing whichever of their dependencies are appropriate for the formats you are using. And yes, you can add plugins, or rebuild them to get more coverage, *after* parole or any other app which uses them has been installed.

Either 0.10 or 1.2 work - I have 1.2 with most of the deps and all of the plugin packages.

I don't know. Is like when you install xfce with all dependencies (required, recommended and optional).. you don't see icons and you have to install gnome-icon-theme. I think this is a xfce bug. I installed parole with all packages and i'm not able to launch it (it crashes at open). But if you install plugins (good, bad and ugly), it works.

There are some runtime dependencies for packages. Gst-plugins-good are definitely not required dependency for parole. Thanks, Ken.
