Description pejakm 2011-10-19 11:18:48 UTC 
If I compile gst-ffmpeg with example: --ffmpeg-extra-configure="-enable-libvorbis" build finishes successfully, but the plugin doesn't work:

"gst-inspect | grep ffmpeg" doesn't list any of the ffmpeg codecs. Versions 0.10.11 and 0.10.12 affected.
Comment 1 pejakm 2011-10-19 14:24:02 UTC 
Libtheora example:

Built 0.10.12 with: './configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var --with-ffmpeg-extra-configure="--enable-runtime-cpudetect --enable-libtheora"'.

Configure script shows: "libtheora enabled         yes".

gst-inspect:

$ gst-inspect-0.10 | grep ffmpeg

(gst-plugin-scanner:14809): GStreamer-WARNING **: Failed to load plugin '/usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/libgstffmpeg.so': /usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/libgstffmpeg.so: undefined symbol: th_encode_packetout

postproc:  postproc_ffmpegdeint: LibPostProc ffmpegdeint filter
ffmpegcolorspace:  ffmpegcolorspace: FFMPEG Colorspace converter

So, the problem is, I guess, that during compile time gst-ffmpeg doesn't "pick up" libtheora libraries and includes. Is there a way I can do this manually?

Use the theora and vorbis plugins in -base.  There's no reason to use any external library with ffmpeg, we have better plugins for those external libraries.
