Bug#748848: byzanz: does not work at all: Error during recording: no element appsrc
Hello, I have filed a bug report against libgstreamer-plugins-base1.0-0 to find out whether this gstreamer library should at least depend on gstreamer1.0-plugins-base. https://bugs.debian.org/749153 In the meantime I think Byzanz must depend on gstreamer1.0-plugins-base, gstreamer1.0-plugins-good and gstreamer1.0-libav to resolve this bug. I am going to prepare a fix for this soonish. Regards, Markus signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature
Bug#748848: byzanz: does not work at all: Error during recording: no element appsrc
(forgot to CC the bug report...) Hello Gstreamer Maintainers! I am currently investigating bug #748848 and would like to hear your opinion about that issue. Byzanz build-depends on libgstreamer-plugins-base1.0-dev and libgstreamer1.0-dev. Thus libgstreamer-plugins-base1.0-0 (= 1.0.0) and libgstreamer1.0-0 (= 1.0.0) are inserted by dpkg-shlibdeps as runtime dependencies. However on a barebone system this is not sufficient to support all recording functions of byzanz. The application reports: Error during recording: no element appsrc It turned out that I had to install gstreamer1.0-plugins-base as well. My question is why does not libgstreamer-plugins-base1.0-0 depend on gstreamer1.0-plugins-base if the latter contains elements like appsrc that are essential base elements for running applications such as byzanz? Another related question: To make flash recording work gstreamer1.0-plugins-good and gstreamer1.0-libav are also required since byzanz makes use of the avenc_flashsv and flvmux plugins. Is there a better way to detect required dependencies at build-time or do maintainers need to add those packages manually? Regards, Markus signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

Markus Koschany dixit: Although byzanz depends on libgstreamer-plugins-base1.0-0 another related package, gstreamer1.0-plugins-base, is not automatically installed. I am not sure yet why libgstreamer-plugins-base1.0-0 does not Oh, okay. I had suspected a missing dependency, but not for it to be a hidden one like this. In short: apt-get install gstreamer1.0-plugins-base gstreamer1.0-plugins-good gstreamer1.0-libav OK, will try (once I get the time to do so, at work).

Hello and thanks for your report. At first I could not reproduce your issue on amd64, Debian Testing with Gnome3. However with another minimal Debian Sid i386 system and Openbox I see the same error message. Error during recording: no element appsrc Although byzanz depends on libgstreamer-plugins-base1.0-0 another related package, gstreamer1.0-plugins-base, is not automatically installed. I am not sure yet why libgstreamer-plugins-base1.0-0 does not depend or recommend this package and whether applications must add a dependency on it manually. I will discuss this matter with the maintainers of gstreamer in due course. In order to make recording with gstreamer and flash output work, you also have to install gstreamer1.0-plugins-good and gstreamer1.0-libav. I suppose once essential base plugins were moved to gstreamer1.0-plugins-good and gstreamer1.0-libav otherwise I can't explain why this was working in the past. In short: apt-get install gstreamer1.0-plugins-base gstreamer1.0-plugins-good gstreamer1.0-libav should do the trick. I intend to depend on these libraries in the future to ensure that byzanz will work under all circumstances. I am lowering the severity to serious because the package is not completely unusable, ogg encoding and saving to gif works without those missing packages. Of course this is still a release critical bug. Regards, Markus signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature
