[Telepathy] Gabble/video(->XMPP/Gmail) one way only

[Toby Mangold]

 Hi Olivier,

I tried to switched to git versions of gstreamer on the weekend, but haven't succeeded yet.
No problems with gst-plugins modules, but gst-ffmpeg (H264 decoder) is giving me headache.
Which compiler (gcc version) are you using at the moment to compile latest git versions of gst-ffmpeg ?
Are you using the internal or system ffmpeg ?
I'm getting errors in long const definitions wrapped into some macros related to some swscale stuff.
(I'm in the office now and cannot remember the exact message and location)

And hint is appreciated !
Toby

This is a known problem. The solution is to use the git version of gst-plugins-good and the attached patch (to empathy.. well to the file which is in /usr/share/empathy).

Guillaume: Btw, can we put this patch in both empathy master and in the next 2.28 release.

This is a bug in Google Video which triggers a bug in Gabble. But it should be harmless in this case (gabble bug is
