dash: README is out-of-date
Last modified: 2014-10-23 08:27:26 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.
Created attachment 288896 [details] [review] 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.
I think we should just remove the README. It's never going to be kept up to date.
