GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 678282
libgstvideoparsersbad.so causes failure to decode some videos
Last modified: 2012-10-21 13:36:03 UTC
Some videos (mpeg4 in my case using Minitube) won't play back. There is a more detailed bug report here: http://www.mail-archive.com/desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com/msg602954.html There is a patch at the end of that link. I didn't even see a bug report here so I thought I'd add the link. I'm happy to copy/paste the bug report/patch directly here if that's the policy, whatever it takes to get Gstreamer back working on decoding these videos.
This plays fine with git 0.10. I suspect it was fixed since the 0.10.22 release And since that release ... there has been 15 files changed, 3288 insertions(+), 1693 deletions(-) to the videoparsers plugin and 11 files changed, 9073 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-) to the codecparser library The "patch" in that upstream bug (h264parse.patch in comment 33) has no context whatsoever (which upstream commits it corresponds to).
This was fixed ages ago as far as I know (and according to the links to git commits in the linked bug). I have tested the sample files linked in the other bug, and they both work fine with git master (1.0.x), so closing this as obsolete. Please file new bugs if there are any files still not playing with GStreamer 1.0.x.
