gst-omx

[nourathar]

Hi,

I boldly modified the 'arch'-field of the gst-omx PKGBUILD in the AUR
(see https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gst-omx/)
by adding 'armv6h' to it, and to my joy it compiled and installed flawlessly on my Rpi.

If I run:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'gst-inspect-1.0 | grep omx')
this gives nothing, however.

In this thread http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=6852&start=25 I found talk of the need to export a value for GST_OMX_CONFIG_DIR and it turns out that the gst-omx src directory contains a gstomx.conf file especially for the rpi, with contents that look completely sensible. Exporting its location doesn't change a thing, unfortunately.

Any ideas about what I might be doing wrong ?
Has anybody succesfully played omx-decoded video and sound via this method ?

I tried compiling/installing omxplayer without much success, and I understood that vlc-support for omx does not work on the rpi.
Hence my joy when this seemed to compile properly, since I feel rather comfortable using gstreamer otherwise..

thanks, J.

duh,
for some reason i missed that there is a gst-omx-rpi package in the alarm repo...

gst-inspect now lists them properly, still finding ways to get it to work with my testclips though..

ciao,

J.
