No, the discussion should happen in this bug and not on the mailing list ;)


Some comments by Edward about this from the mailinglist:

I'll let someone more familiar with HLS and DASH comment about the
> implementation itself, but a few first comments:
> * All the bugs/patches you mentioned in the README are pushed upstream
> in both 0.10 and master. The problem is that ... there's no guarantee
> there will be a future 0.10 release.
> * The various source files you are re-using are already ported to 1.0
> (along with hlsdemux itself).
> * Most of the development effort is concentrated on 1.0 these days, and
> in combination with the above-mentioned release issue, I fear you might
> not get much help by sticking to 0.10 :(
> * For the plugin to make it into -bad (and not -good as you mentionned),
> it would be a good move to make your repository based on -bad (and not a
> standalone repository as is the case right now).
> * Quite a bit of your code isn't related to gstreamer API but more to
> protocol handling (which is agnostic to the 0.10/1.0 changes).
> 
> Considering all the above, I'd therefore recommend you do the following:
> * Re-use the current master (1.0) code of gstfragmented and related
> source files
> * For that, clone gst-plugins-bad and adapt your commits/code on top.
> Since hlsdemux is already ported, and you inspired yourself from that
> code, you can see how it is now handling the gstreamer parts in 1.0.
> * Open a bug report on the gstreamer bug tracker pointing to that
> repository so we can track/comment/assist on the progress
