Description Sebastian Dröge (slomo) 2016-03-26 18:19:51 UTC 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #763814 +++

GstPreset has the same problem. Resulting in things like "frame-packing=Automatic (use incoming video information)" (this is from x264enc) in the generated preset files. Changing that one is more tricky as we need to keep backwards compatibility...
Comment 1 Tim-Philipp Müller 2016-04-17 17:54:53 UTC 
Do we have to keep backwards compatibility both ways though?

That is, when we write new preset files, do those have to be read correctly by older GStreamer versions? Not sure about that.

Accepting both nicks and descriptions when reading preset files is easy.
Comment 2 Sebastian Dröge (slomo) 2016-04-18 07:22:48 UTC 
Preset files will not work in older versions in many cases anyway, e.g. if new properties are added or the range a property can take.
