Description Simon Feltman 2016-12-23 01:44:56 UTC 
For example:

videoparse uses "i422-10le" for GST_VIDEO_FORMAT_I422_10LE and
capsfilter strings use "I422_10LE".

One of these should be updated to support the other for the sake of consistency (otherwise scripts need to muck around with this). I'd be happy to look at submitting a patch but would need some direction.

Yes, I've been wondering about that as well.
Comment 2 Sebastian Dröge (slomo) 2016-12-23 10:09:01 UTC 
The names come from the GstVideoFormat enum, which is generated by glib-mkenums. Same goes for rawaudioparse.

I don't think we can change those because of API stability, so would have to register a new enum that is equivalent but has different nicks for the values. Seems ugly.
Comment 3 Sebastian Dröge (slomo) 2017-02-18 18:13:57 UTC 
Any comments? Otherwise I'd just leave it as is
Comment 4 Tim-Philipp Müller 2017-02-20 20:35:25 UTC 
Juts leave it then I suppose.
Comment 5 Sebastian Dröge (slomo) 2017-02-21 05:49:20 UTC 
Then let's go with that
