I've successfully patched our gstreamer plugin to build with gstreamer-1.0, but how do I test it? Does someone have a sample document that uses gstreamer? The patch is attached for anyone interested. Parts may still be wrong, eg. filter names. Changes between GStreamer 0.1 and 1.0 are documented here: https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/documentation/application-development/appendix/porting-1-0.html https://cgit.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gstreamer/plain/docs/random/porting-to-1.0.txt On Wed, Feb 28, 2018 at 10:22 AM, Damjan Jovanovic wrote: > Hi > > I've begun having a look. > > We currently test for gstreamer in configure.ac but don't use the result, > re-running pkg-config in a main/avmedia's makefile. > > Changing the version number to 1.0 breaks the build due a missing header > file.
