This is the existing provides helper: https://src.fedoraproject.org/cgit/rpms/gstreamer1.git/tree/gstreamer1.prov which also uses this patch to GStreamer's gst-inspect: https://src.fedoraproject.org/cgit/rpms/gstreamer1.git/tree/gstreamer-inspect-rpm-format.patch I doubt this will be simple if you do not already know that mime-types correspond to multimedia containers, not to the codecs used inside those containers. > > - PackageKit's plugin installation helper would need to be fixed to match > > what the API requires > > That would be needed anyway, imho. > > Some more comments from my side: > 1.
