Package: goodvibes Version: 0.6.2-1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
(1) MPEG-DASH Without gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad, Goodvibes can't play MPEG-DASH streams. A notable radio that broadcasts MPEG-DASH streams is the BBC, eg: https://a.files.bbci.co.uk/media/live/manifesto/audio/simulcast/dash/nonuk/dash_low/aks/bbc_radio_one.mpd Without gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad, Goodvibes can't play it, and spits out these errors on the console: WARN 03:02:36 ../src/core/gv-engine.c: on_bus_message_error(): Gst bus error msg: gst-core-error-quark:12: Your GStreamer installation is missing a plug-in. WARN 03:02:36 ../src/core/gv-engine.c: on_bus_message_error(): Gst bus error debug: ../gst/playback/gsturidecodebin.c(1024): no_more_pads_full (): /GstPlayBin:playbin/GstURIDecodeBin:uridecodebin2: no suitable plugins found: ../gst/playback/gstdecodebin2.c(4719): gst_decode_bin_expose (): /GstPlayBin:playbin/GstURIDecodeBin:uridecodebin2/GstDecodeBin:decodebin2: no suitable plugins found: Missing decoder: application/dash+xml (application/dash+xml) So we need the 'dashdemux' gst element that is provided by gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad. (2) AAC Additionally, plugins-bad provides a AAC decoder, which is required to play streams encoded with AAC. A notable radio that goes with AAC is SomaFM, for example: http://ice2.somafm.com/indiepop-128-aac Without gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad, Goodvibes fails with: WARN 09:41:05 ../src/core/gv-engine.c: on_bus_message_error(): Gst bus error msg: gst-core-error-quark:12: Your GStreamer installation is missing a plug-in. WARN 09:41:05 ../src/core/gv-engine.c: on_bus_message_error(): Gst bus error debug: ../gst/playback/gsturidecodebin.c(1024): no_more_pads_full (): /GstPlayBin:playbin/GstURIDecodeBin:uridecodebin0: no suitable plugins found: ../gst/playback/gstdecodebin2.c(4719): gst_decode_bin_expose (): /GstPlayBin:playbin/GstURIDecodeBin:uridecodebin0/GstDecodeBin:decodebin0: no suitable plugins found: Missing decoder: MPEG-2 AAC (audio/mpeg, framed=(boolean)true, mpegversion=(int)2, level=(string)2, profile=(string)lc, rate=(int)44100, channels=(int)2, stream-format=(string)adts) So we need a AAC decoder, and in this case there's a few options. There is 'faad' from gstramer1.0-plugins-bad, or 'avdec_aac' from gstreamer1.0-libav, or even 'fdkaacdec' from gstreamer1.0-fdkaac (from contrib). It seems to me that adding Recommends: gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad is the simplest solution, so that Goodvibes can play MPEG-DASH and AAC streams. What do you think?
