On my current build (gcc-5, BLFS from 27th April) I've got a problem with parole - on most of my local videos, it errors out with a dialog:
GStreamer backend error Could not initialise supporting library That happens for most of my local videos (m4v, mkv, mov, mp4, wmv) but noo0t for ogg/theora (I call those ogv, but there is no real standard) nor avi. I've now tried gst-play, looks like a libva problem (this is an AMD so I built libva-1.7.0 but not libva-intel-driver). ken@deluxe /sources/scripts/lfs-dev/git $gst-play-1.0 /mnt/av/video/my-movies/switzerland-2011/albula.mkv Press 'k' to see a list of keyboard shortcuts.

Does anyone have mp4 or similar working with current gstreamer ? If so, are you using intel video, or alternatively did you build the intel driver anyway ? And do I need to export XDG_RUNTIME_DIR for general things when xorg is in /usr ? That might be why pulse reported errors for me in kde. I'm not sure if gst-play is actually useful, not even ogv files play with it (they report an internal datastream error). ĸen -- This email was written using 100% recycled letters. -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
