How works fluendo decoders? is there some package to install? the second one is : considering using of playbin2 or decodebin, is it possible (is c source or other) to force the call of ffmpeg plugins? i have installed gwenole gst_vaapi and it work like a charm in command line. But when i try to use vaapi in a light c source code project, vaapiDecode, and vaapiSink are called, but not the "compatible" demuxers like ffdemux_matroska_webm of ffdemux_mpegts. i tried to modify the rank of these demuxers and set matroskademux's rank to none, but in this case no demuxer is found for Mkv in my case. In fact, one difference in gstreamer debug traces between gst-launch and my code is that in command line i can see the registration of ffmpeg typefind functions : *********** 0:00:00.138976669 18418 0x8dba008 INFO GST_PLUGIN_LOADING gstplugin.c:800:gst_plugin_load_file: plugin "/usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/libgstplaybin.so" loaded 0:00:00.139073349 18418 0x8dba008 INFO GST_ELEMENT_FACTORY gstelementfactory.c:361:gst_element_factory_create: creating element "playbin2" named "play-bin" 0:00:00.673985428 18418 0x8dba008 INFO GST_TYPEFIND gsttypefind.c:82:gst_type_find_register: registering typefind function for fftype_aea 0:00:00.674260228 18418 0x8dba008 INFO GST_TYPEFIND gsttypefind.c:82:gst_type_find_register: registering typefind function for fftype_anm 0:00:00.674385867 18418 0x8dba008 INFO GST_TYPEFIND gsttypefind.c:82:gst_type_find_register: registering typefind function for fftype_apc 0:00:00.674529427 18418 0x8dba008 INFO GST_TYPEFIND gsttypefind.c:82:gst_type_find_register: registering typefind function for fftype_applehttp 0:00:00.674728147 18418 0x8dba008 INFO GST_TYPEFIND gsttypefind.c:82:gst_type_find_register: registering typefind function for fftype_avs ... *********** this result on the load of the ffmpeg library. in the case of my code, i never see these lines and so ffdemux_matroska_webm is never selected. if anyone can help.
