Fix handling of parallel installable GStreamers (1.93 KB, patch)
2012-07-05 14:41 UTC, Bastien Nocera 		committed Details | Review

Description Bastien Nocera 2012-07-04 16:19:49 UTC 
If both GStreamer 0.10 and GStreamer 1.0 are used, overriding GST_REGISTRY for one will override it for the other as well, causing problems as both versions use the same file.
Comment 1 Bastien Nocera 2012-07-04 16:42:04 UTC 
GST_PLUGIN_PATH is also overridden, and that really breaks stuff.
Comment 2 Tim-Philipp Müller 2012-07-04 17:23:34 UTC 
This should hopefully help:

    Add versioned variants of some environment variables
    
    Improve parallel installability in setups like jhbuild by
    providing versioned variants of some environment variables:
    
     GST_REGISTRY_1_0
     GST_PLUGIN_PATH_1_0
     GST_PLUGIN_SYSTEM_PATH_1_0
     GST_PLUGIN_SCANNER_1_0
    
    will now be checked before checking the unversioned ones.

Fix handling of parallel installable GStreamers

If GStreamer 1.0 and 0.10 were used in the same prefix, they
would end up with mixed plugin paths, and the same registry, even
though the 2 systems are not compatible.

Fix this by using GStreamer-1.0 specific envvars.
