GStreamer | gstreamer (core) | Ver: 0.10.9
Summary: Make gst-inspect's default output more precise when it
encounters a problem with a plug-in
Product: GStreamer
Version: 0.10.9
Platform: Other
OS/Version: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Normal
Component: gstreamer (core)
AssignedTo: gstreamer-bugs at lists.sourceforge.net
ReportedBy: dhgutteridge at sympatico.ca
QAContact: gstreamer-bugs at lists.sourceforge.net
GNOME version: Unversioned Enhancement
GNOME milestone: Unspecified
When running gst-inspect with its default output level, it doesn't necessarily
give the most helpful information if errors occur. By this I mean I've found
that if I happen to have a plug-in that has a problem, gst-inspect will suggest
it wasn't found, when in fact it did find it (as I can see at the highest debug
level), it's just it can't actually work with it properly.
My specific example is that one of the core plugins (videoscale) had problems
when it was compiled on my machine. Because of this, it's blocking totem from
being compiled, as totem's configure script uses gst-inspect and finds it's
"absent". But it isn't absent:
[disciple at arcusv:disciple]$ locate videoscale
/usr/pkg/lib/gstreamer-0.10/libgstvideoscale.a
/usr/pkg/lib/gstreamer-0.10/libgstvideoscale.la
/usr/pkg/lib/gstreamer-0.10/libgstvideoscale.so
[disciple at arcusv:disciple]$ gst-inspect-0.10 videoscale
No such element or plugin 'videoscale'
This is what I get when I run gst-inspect with more verbose output:
WARN (0x1824580 - 0:00:01.379554000) GST_PLUGIN_LOADING( 2638)
gstplugin.c(410):gst_plugin_load_file: module_open failed:
/usr/pkg/lib/liboil-0.3.so.0: Unsupported relocation type 10 in non-PLT
relocations
So it'd be helpful if gst-inspect said "error with <plug-in name>" or something
in this case instead of "no such element or plugin".
