GStreamer JACK audio plugin is in good or good-extras #50

Open fedelibre opened 8 years ago

fedelibre commented 8 years ago

On gstreamer_via_jack page it's stated:

You need the GStreamer JACK audio plugin, which is currently (Fall 2009) part of the "bad" plugins collection.

But I found out that the plugin is currently (as of version 1.8.1) in the good plugins.

I would suggest searching the repository for the package providing the relevant file. On Fedora23 it's currently in good-extras:

# dnf provides libgstjack.so

Should I send a pull request?

One more thing: gconf2 is obsolete and it's been replaced by dconf-editor and gsettings. But I cannot find any gstreamer schema:

$ gsettings list-schemas | grep gstreamer
org.gnome.gthumb.gstreamer-tools

I'm stuck

The tutorial needs an update.

For the second comment: If this is about setting up gstreamer, please contact the maintainers/developers of gstreamer, as I am not familiar with setting up gstreamer.

fedelibre commented 8 years ago

I was wrong in the second comment. If I install gconf2, I can find the schema. But yesterday something didn't work anyway. I'll try again as soon as I have some time.

So basically the only point that need change is the fact that it is in "bad" plugins?

fedelibre commented 8 years ago

Yes, it's not in the bad plugins but in the good or good-extras (as in Fedora 23) plugins.

I realized why the tutorial didn't work for me. I don't have jackaudiosink in my path and I cannot find any package which contains it. I found other people having the same problem years ago. And here it seemed to be fixed in Fedora.

I think that I'll have to file a bug to Fedora?

Here's what I checked:

$ gst-inspect | grep jack
]$ gst-inspect jackaudiosink
No such element or plugin 'jackaudiosink'

Yes, a report against the gstreamer package is probably appropriate.
