[GStreamer (GNOME Bugzilla)]

--- Comment #3 from Klaus <tp454 at freenet.de> ---
On last friday I uninstalled the 1.12.1 and installed the 1.10.4 again because
I need the soup plugin. So today I uninstalled the 1.10.4 and installed the
1.12.1 again.
Then:

C:\>gst-inspect-1.0 soup
Plugin Details:
  Name                     soup
  Description              libsoup HTTP client src/sink
  Filename

  Binary package           GStreamer Good Plug-ins source release

Then I checked the plugin file directly:

C:\>cd gstreamer\1.0\x86\bin
C:\gstreamer\1.0\x86\bin>gst-inspect-1.0 ..\lib\gstreamer-1.0\libgstsoup.dll

Ok, the soup plugin is working.
Then I tried the "normal check" again and it also works now:

C:\gstreamer\1.0\x86\bin>cd\
C:\>gst-inspect-1.0 soup
WARNING: no real random source present!
Plugin Details:
  Name                     soup

So it seems that this issue is only a problem with the registry cache. To be
sure, I deleted the cache file also.

Some additional info:
I tested on 3 PC's with Win10. Two of them had installed 1.10.4 before and were
updated to 1.12.1 (first uninstalled the old and then installed the new). On
both the issue appeared as described above. Only the 3rd PC which never had
seen any GStreamer installation works out of the box. So on my machines the
issue appears anly when updating from an older version. However now it's
working fine and that's most important. Thank you very much for your support.
Hey guys, you are doing a great job. GStreamer is the best multimedia
framework, I've ever seen. Keep it up.
