The subject is about mpg123, which is not related to GStreamer at all.
The message you replied to is about RPMfusion in general.
like i said, it is suitable for gnome apps, so that also achieves that.
And you still would need to resolve dependencies *yourself*, which
defeats the purpose of tools like Yum or DNF. They would pull in what's
needed. It may even be a specific version of a library package that's
needed.
And what about the
dependencies of those GStreamer plugins? Do you really fetch all those extra
rpms and extract them to a local path to be added to runtime linker's search path?
no. i extracted like 2 or 3 rpms and put the .so files in my plugins folder.
You need at least the following packages as dependencies,
libmad
libmimic
libmms
opencore-amr
vo-amrwbenc
for the plugins in "gstreamer1-plugins-bad-freeworld" and
"gstreamer1-plugins-ugly".
And a "dnf install gstreamer1-plugins\*" here wants to install
"35 Packages", while some dependencies probably are installed already.
Ok Michael, I can see you don't like this.
however, in a couple of very simple steps, this gives me a very usable
multimedia system on my default fedora workstation without having to
install any additional repos. which for me is awesome.
and I can confirm all I had to do was download and extract .so files
from the following 2 rpms:
http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/releases/22/Everything/x86_64/os/repoview/gstreamer1-libav.html
http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/releases/22/Everything/x86_64/os/repoview/gstreamer-plugins-ugly.html
really that simple, no dealing with runtime linker search paths,
additional rpm dependencies or anything like that.
ok I admit, in the long run, maybe it is planless, however this is not
intended as a complete solution intended to work forever, it will get
you up and running now and will probably keep working in the future but
as listed above it is not a repo sysyem with dnf/yum updates and there
will come a day when dependencies mismatch but... c'est la vie.
