Gstreamer, the easy way

Crooksey · 2007-02-16 13:38:23

Since I like to have a way to install all gstreamer packages, I thought others might like to have them all displayed and formatted for a quick installation.

All you need is current and extra repo's

pacman -Sy  gstreamer0.10 gstreamer0.10-a52dec gstreamer0.10-aalib gstreamer0.10-alsa gstreamer0.10-amrnb gstreamer0.10-annodex gstreamer0.10-bad gstreamer0.10-base gstreamer0.10-bz2 gstreamer0.10-cairo gstreamer0.10-cdio gstreamer0.10-cdparanoia gstreamer0.10-dts gstreamer0.10-dv gstreamer0.10-dv1394 gstreamer0.10-dvdread gstreamer0.10-esd gstreamer0.10-faac gstreamer0.10-faad gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg gstreamer0.10-flac gstreamer0.10-gconf gstreamer0.10-gdkpixbuf gstreamer0.10-gnomevfs gstreamer0.10-good gstreamer0.10-hal gstreamer0.10-jpeg gstreamer0.10-ladspa gstreamer0.10-lame gstreamer0.10-libcaca gstreamer0.10-libpng gstreamer0.10-libvisual gstreamer0.10-mad gstreamer0.10-mms gstreamer0.10-mpeg2dec gstreamer0.10-musepack gstreamer0.10-neon gstreamer0.10-ogg gstreamer0.10-pango gstreamer0.10-pitfdll gstreamer0.10-python gstreamer0.10-sdl gstreamer0.10-shout2 gstreamer0.10-sidplay gstreamer0.10-speex gstreamer0.10-swfdec gstreamer0.10-taglib gstreamer0.10-theora gstreamer0.10-ugly gstreamer0.10-vorbis gstreamer0.10-xvid

There are two in community as well, if you want the full set.

Although it occurs to me that the whole point of using plugins is to allow you to install just the ones you need - do you really need them all?

These plugins are in a group. To install them all, you can just do:
pacman -Sy gstreamer0.10-plugins

I still don't know what gstreamer is actually good for.

Snowman · 2007-02-25 18:03:15

gstreamer is a plugin framework to play multimedia files.

Well, I knew that. But i don't have it, and all my multimedia files play fine. So, what is it good for? Does it have some kind of benefit over the default way?

It depends on the apps that you use. If you use a media player that use it (like listen in community repo), to play a certain file type, you need to have the corresponding plugin installed. I assume that the advantages are that it's more lightweight and there are probably other reasons (performance?) that I'm not aware of. Maybe the developers of multimedia apps find it easier to use gstreamer than the default way.

i may be wrong but i think the main points of gst in it's plug-in design are:
lightweight systems, no need to load a whole subsystem just to get use of an mpeg decoder f.ie..
the plugins allow for use of new technology via plugins without having to mess with new apis.
