Gstreamer is missing all sinks and sources

Postby Noldir » Thu Dec 05, 2013 11:15 am

Hi there,

I've tried installing gmediarender-resurrect-git last night and ran into some problems (out of disk space). After cleaning the cache, and forcing the install (gstreamer had a lot of existing files due to the botched install) all was well. Or so it seemed. After trying to run the gmediarender with no errors (via systemctl) I couldn't connect. After inspecting the daemon it seems it failed quite catastrophically. Further tracing pointed to gstreamer and after fiddling a bit it seems that I've got no sources or sinks (alsasink, audiotestsrc, etc). In the /usr/lib/gstreamer directory I do see the libgstalsa.so but gst-inspect gives me no sinks whatsoever (except autosink which errors with the message it couldn't find any sinks).

What's wrong here? Even removing everything with pacman -Rsc, clearing the cache and reinstalling it I still don't have sinks :(

Could it be that MPD is conflicting with the alsasink? I would expect though that if that's the case that I'd at least get a mention of the alsasink...

Seems I was a bit premature with the "no sinks and sources at all". I do have some sinks and sources (some firewire bits and a few cam modules), but none of the ones that could be considered "default output" like alsa, pulse or oss.

Never mind, I found the problem: gstreamer registry was corrupted during the previously failed install. Weird it doesn't get deleted when purging the packages from my system...

Oh well! Glad it's up and running now :)
