OpenMAX Support about gmrender-resurrect HOT 9 OPEN

Hi,
gmrender-resurrect is made to compile fine with gstreamer 1.0; in fact, I am using it like that most of the time (though in my raspberry, I am still using 0.10). So that should be working.

I do admit though, that I never tested (and hence optimized for) gmrender with video output - all my installations are headless, so I am not using it for video. Theoretically it should work (after all, it is using straight gstreamer), and there is nothing specifically preventing it from working - but it might need work (if you do so, please feel free to send pull requests my way). Soo - since I haven't tried video yet, OpenMAX is not being used right now; but gmrender would probably not need to know much about the details as this should happen within the gstreamer libraries.

So: gstreamer 1.0: definitely. If video works properly: don't know, please try (if it already works for you with 0.10 without the OpenMAX stuff, then it will probably work).

Video did not work for me with gstreamer 0.10. However, I was able to get video working on raspberry with gstreamer 1.0.9 by cloning the git repo (installing a few missing packages first);

sudo aptitude install bison
sudo aptitude install flex
git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gstreamer
./autogen.sh
./configure
make
sudo make install

Ah cool - so we can write in the documentation that video will work with gstreamer >= 1.0.9 ?

Yes, I've been using it without any problems for two weeks now.

Hi Shawn, would you mind sharing your setup? How you are using it?

from gmrender-resurrect.

I was using BubbleUPnP on my Android phone to play movies from my home DLNA server (QNAP TurboNAS TS-212) to my Raspberry Pi over WiFi. Unfortunately, browsing my media from BubbleUPnP was painfully slow and my setup didn’t turn out to be usable. I ended up switching to Raspbmc (http://www.raspbmc.com/about/) which works great out of the box and plays all my HD content without problems.

Hi Shawn,I followed your instructions upto ./autogen.sh it works fine but after running ./configure it gives *configure: error: You need to have gtk-doc >= 1.12 installed to build GStreamer
configure failed
*
I tried to install gtk-doc but it also depends on other package i.e., configure: error: xsltproc not found.
I need to know what are the missing packages and how to install those,would you please share what are instructions you followed for installing gstreamer.
Thanks

It has been quite a while so I don't recall the specifics. I haven't used this in years.
Try running the following commands:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install git bison flex autoconf autopoint automake libtool gtk-doc-tools libperl-dev libgtk2.0-dev
git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gstreamer
cd gstreamer
./autogen.sh
./configure
make
sudo make install

These days, distributions typically have gstreamer >= 1.0, it should actually work (though I haven't tried it). Did you install gstreamer according to the INSTALL.md ?

If this particular hardware-ops requires recompiling gstreamer, then using what Shawn said looks like the right way.
