[gst-devel] Missng plugins in Gstreamer 0.10.*?

[Ola Theander]

Hi Erik

Thank you for your answer. The thing is, even if you look at the official
Gstreamer documentation of the plug-in packages (e.g.
http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/data/doc/gstreamer/head/gst-plugins-base-pl
ugins/html/) it seems like most of the decoders/encoders in 0.8 is missing
in 0.10. In 0.8 there was a plethora of decoders, in 0.10 it seems like
there is only a few. Is this due to reorganization (i.e. these decoders are
renamed or merged) or is it because they are not converted to 0.10 yet or
are they simply skipped? This is what I'm not fully understand just yet, but
I'm sure it will become clear eventually.

Kind regards, Ola

The plugins for gstreamer 0.8 were in a single package called gst-plugins,
but they have now been split into gst-plugins-base, gst-plugins-good,
gst-plugins-bad, and gst-plugins-ugly. Gentoo also seem to split the
packages up further, so have a look at these:
