furthermore, since ffmpeg was purged from ubuntu, even gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg was removed from the repos when ubuntu decided to endorse libav instead.
which is perfectly fine with me, but why the need to remove even gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg which did and still provides an INTERNAL ffmpeg implementation and DOES NOT depend on ffmpeg? which problem did it create that justified its removal from ubuntu? either the developer falsely assumed from its name that the package depended on the deprecated ffmpeg package, or this was done only for policy reasons (hatred against the forked project). the change was justified saying that gstreamer1.0-libav was available, but as this bug states many packages are not going to be ported to gst1 any time soon (in python, this would also require porting the app from GTK2 to GTK3 and gobject). many webradio stations are making use of codecs formerly provided by gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg and as a result, radiotray in 14.04 fails silently to play audio from those. the only workaround as of now is to manually build the package from upstream. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1301765 Title: Need to use gstreamer1.0 dependencies To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/radiotray/+bug/1301765/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
