Re: Restricted extra/addons

I've been advised to leave gstreamer1.0-fluendo-mp3 on, so revised debdiff to do that. On Tue, Aug 29, 2017 at 4:22 PM, Sebastien Bacher wrote: > Hey, > > Le 29/08/2017 à 20:34, Bryan Quigley a écrit : >> gstreamer1.0-fluendo-mp3 isn't needed for mp3 playback (our other >>

Re: Restricted extra/addons

Got the changes for ubuntu-restricted-addons in a debdiff, just need a sponsor - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-restricted-addons/+bug/1709166 A couple changes I wanted to highlight here: Lubuntu is following us to remove Flash from their list gstreamer1.0-fluendo-mp3 isn't

Re: Restricted extra/addons

Yeah the naming of "bad" and "ugly" gstreamer plugins is unfortunate. Those names mask the fact that you really do need them to play common media formats. That PPA does work but I failed to mention it requires Ubuntu 17.10 and that you have followed the quick start instructions:

Oh, I see, sorry. gstreamer1.0-vaapi depends on: libgstreamer-plugins-bad1.0-0 which is not "the bad plugins" package: gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad but it is an obviously-related support library still. I'm working in this area lately so will see how feasible it is to loosen that dependency.

Re: Restricted extra/addons

After installing va-driver-all on fresh ubuntu 17.10 install (so ignoring the few packages that brings in) gstreamer1.0-vaapi does still bring in libgstreamer-plugins-bad1.0-0 libopencv-core3.1 libtbb2 libva-drm1 libva-wayland1 libva-x11-1 (only 5 MB). This doesn't block us adding it to the

Re: Restricted extra/addons

Doug, I bring good news... gstreamer1.0-vaapi actually does not depend on the "bad" plugins, or any other gstreamer plugins. And yes you are right mpv is much better than totem for performance and smoothness. I hope to bring totem up to the same standard eventually. totem/gst-vaapi will

Bryan, You read my mind. I was in the process of finding out how to add to the list :) Although gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad does have important uses such as providing audio codecs and the GL plugin, totem will install it on demand, anyway. So yes you should be able to drop it. I would like

Hi all, Been looking at what's brought in by default by the restricted checkbox in the installer and I think we can have better defaults. Here is a brief summary of what we have today: ubuntu-restricted-addons (what the installer checkbox does) - Flash - gstreamer1.0-fluendo-mp3 -
