Description:

I am not sure if this is the right thing, but many apps still use Gst 0.10

gst-plugins-bad 0.10 branch has Wayland sink, but it hasn't been included in any release since everyone now works on 1.0 branch and master.

I've gathered several upstream commits that add and fix up Wayland backend.

Apply them and prepare package for ussual build with:

# patch -Np1 -i doesn't create directory for some reason.
mkdir -p ext/wayland

done

sed -e "s@AM_CONFIG_HEADER@AC_CONFIG_HEADERS@g" -i configure.ac

autoreconf -fi

Add Wayland as build dep and proceed with ussual ./configure, make and make install process.

Test it with "gst-launch-0.10 playbin2 uri=file:///path/to/video.ext" under Weston.

I combined all of the mentioned commits in a single patch.

Build depend on wayland [extra]

Apply with

patch -Np1 -i ../waylandsink.patch

Run

sed -e "s@AM_CONFIG_HEADER@AC_CONFIG_HEADERS@g" -i configure.ac
autoreconf -fi

And proceed with ussual process.

Not sure if we should bother. Any application using gstreamer 0.10 is unlikely to support Wayland, and if you're using bare gst-launch, just go use gstreamer 1.0.
Comment by Armin K. (Krejzi) - Wednesday, 13 February 2013, 20:15 GMT
Well, doesn't hurt to implement. 0.10 will stay for some time arround ... But, if you think so - then okay I have nothing against that.
Comment by Jan de Groot (JGC) - Thursday, 14 February 2013, 22:31 GMT
GStreamer 0.10 is unmaintained upstream, so I won't include anything from git that adds additional features.
