gstreamer-vaapi

[Nick Kallen]

Hi,

I’m trying to get gstreamer-vaapi installed on an Amazon ec2 GPU instance.
When I installed gstreamer on an Ubuntu AMI through apt-get, all gstreamer
decoding and encoding commands gave me an error like 'gstreamer-vaapi
cannot load library’ (I forget the exact error message). vainfo errored
that I didn’t have an x-server running.

I assumed I needed a newer version of gstreamer so I tried to build from
source using cerbero on a redhat AMI. Cerbero built everything successfully
(after I installed yasm by hand). I don’t know how to install the cerbero
generated packages on my system (rpm -i *.rpm seemed to have no effect). If
someone could explain that to me I would appreciate it.

But in any case, I ran 'cerbero shell' and I noticed gstreamer-vaapi was
not automatically installed. I’m having difficulty compiling
gstreamer-vaapi because of missing dependencies and I just have no idea if
I’m on the wrong track to getting this all working together. Can I use
cerbero to compile gstreamer-vaapi? What is the right way to build all of
this together and install it properly on a machine?

Thanks!!
