no sound and display is reverse

[yangxuan8282]

I followed the guide INSTALL.md,step by step finished the installation,use GStreamer 1.0 on my RPI2,then I can found the render on android with app iMediaShare (BubbleUPnp just can't find it,don't know why) but after select the render to play a video,there is no sound,and display output is reverse any user face same issues?

No sound or strange image problem are most likely a problem with gstreamer - it is the library that processes the media output. Gstreamer 1.0 is really old. Current version is 1.4 (or 1.5 development) - so you might want to upgrade to that first.

If it can't be found by BubbleUPNP, that is strange, I have to look at that.

@hzeller GStreamer current version in raspbian is 1.2,and I can found 1.4.5 in debian armhf mirror but dependency problems is pain,there are dozens of package need to be downloaded How can I update them quickly?

[yangxuan8282]

@hzeller hi,hzeller I just have spent all day time to update gstreamer from 1.2 to 1.4 I use raspbian jessie mirror ,then use apt-get install those gstreamer realted package,which updated and installed over 200 package(so many dependency),maybe there are some better method,but haven't found it after configure and build,I start the render over ssh(I don't have a keyboard for RPI) by

./src/gmediarender -f "My Renderer"

now I can found the render on BubbleUPNP,but get some errors :

ERROR [2015-07-16 19:45:31.528718 | gstreamer] Failed to get track duration.
ERROR [2015-07-16 19:46:58.376916 | gstreamer] glimagesink1: Error: Failed to connect to X display     server (Debug: gstgli
magesink.c(458): _ensure_gl_setup ():     /GstPlayBin:play/GstPlaySink:playsink/GstBin:vbin/GstGLImageSink:glimagesink1)

Note that the gmediarender version in Jessie should be already built against gstreamer 1.4, so a plain "apt-get install gmediarender" should pull in all required dependenices, when using a Jessie mirror. (note that your milage may vary as Raspian is not Debian, where I'm maintaining gmediarender-resurrect)

Did you do an apt-get dist-upgrade or apt-get upgrade? This would update every package on the system and could explain the amount of packges you are seeing.

@coldtobi no,after change wheezy to jessie in sources.list,and do a apt-get update,then I just type:

sudo apt-get install libgstreamer1.0-dev gstreamer1.0-alsa \
gstreamer1.0-plugins-base gstreamer1.0-plugins-good \
gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad gstreamer1.0-plugins-ugly \
gstreamer1.0-libav

I think the apt-get automatically update and installed many unnecessary packages,and seems like there are no option for just update selected package,actually it's really like do a apt-get upgrade,,for it REMOVE 7 packages,but I am pretty sure the command is apt-get install

[yangxuan8282]

this is the removed packages:

The following packages will be REMOVED:
  epiphany-browser gstreamer1.0-omx libgnome-desktop-3-2 libgraphite2-2.0.0 libharfbuzz0a libwayland0 wolfram-engine

No, apt-get only does what it has been instructed to. When using apt -get install , its dependency resolver will only pull in updates that are required for . However, if you tell it to e.g install libgstreamer1.0-dev, it will also install its dependencies. Of course I do not know what you wanted to archive with your example, but if you for example wnat to install gmediarender, just name this package to avoid this. (But especially the gstreamer plugins have a heavy dependency chain)

When you pull explictily pull in a dependency it can happen that other packages' dependencies can no longer be resolved and the result can be that the resolver finds only solutions when removing packages. I guess that is what you've seeing here. You can try to assess this with aptitude's why-not feature.

apt-get upgrade will upgrade all packages to their latest version, but never install new packages or remove packages, in contrast to apt-get dist-upgrade.

I usually use aptitude for tricky dependency situations. Its GI makes it easier to assess the situation and also it provides also alternative solutions when solving the dependencies.

Another note: It is not really recommended to mix packages from different releases (Wheezy and Jessie), as things easily get complicated. See also https://wiki.debian.org/FAQsFromDebianUser#How_da ngerous_is_it_to_run_a_mixed_system.3F It usually works, but you have expect some breakage.
