Description Brendan Long 2014-10-20 09:06:03 UTC
This is in ext/dash/README:

dashdemux

GStreamer plugin allowing the playback of MPEG DASH streams.

The plugin is based on some basic objects defined in the GStreamer HLS
Demux plugin from the gst-plugins-bad module.

Minimum requirements:
- glib 2.32.1
- gstreamer 0.10.36
- gst-plugins-base 0.10.36
- gst-plugins-good 0.10.31
- gst-plugins-bad 0.10.23

The following patches need in addition to be applied:

isomp4 (from gst-plugins-good):
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=677535
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=678767
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=678772

decodebin2 (from gst-plugins-base):
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=685938

To build gst-dashdemux:
./autogen.sh
./configure
./make
sudo make install

To launch gst-dashdemux:

gst-launch playbin2 uri=http://www-itec.uni-klu.ac.at/ftp/datasets/mmsys13/redbull_4sec.mpd
 
gst-launch playbin2 uri=http://download.tsi.telecom-paristech.fr/gpac/DASH_CONFORMANCE/TelecomParisTech/mp4-main-multi/mp4-main-multi-mpd-AV-BS.mpd

--- end README

The referenced bugs are all resolved FIXED, the minimum requirements are presumably wrong, and the gst-launch commands need to be updated to "gst-launch-1.0 playbin ..."

I'm not sure if this README is worth keeping at this point, but the gst-launch commands useful since they give an easy way to test it.

Patch to update README to 1.0 and remove obsolete info

Here's a patch if you want to keep the README but without obsolete info and updated with gst-launch-1.0. I removed the "Minimum requirements" section since I have no idea what they are, but presumably are the same requirements as building gst-plugins-bad in general.
Comment 2 Sebastian Dröge (slomo) 2014-10-21 08:55:17 UTC
I think we should just remove the README. It's never going to be kept up to date.
