Testimonials on the gstreamer siteTestimonials on the gstreamer sitePosted Dec 12, 2005 22:51 UTC (Mon) by bk (guest, #25617)In reply to: Testimonials on the gstreamer site by coriordan Parent article: GStreamer 0.10 is here Even though the 0.10 back-end is currently still missing a few features that the 0.8 back-end supports, we plan to have it at least feature equivalent in time for the next major GNOME release. That's not particularly encouraging, since Totem+GStreamer-0.8 was not what I would consider usable, at least compared to the xine backend or mplayer. Many videos wouldn't play (granted, they were mostly proprietary formats like WMV; however the other players along with win32codecs handled them fine), and when a video would play the CPU usage was unreasonable. The latter part led to choppy playback, a laggy UI and a poor user experience. This is a shame, because on paper gstreamer seems like it has a lot of potential, but the implementations have not yet been up to snuff.

Testimonials on the gstreamer site Posted Dec 13, 2005 0:43 UTC (Tue) by ncm (subscriber, #165) [Link] Gstreamer always sounds good in reports from the developers. Oddly, I've never got it to work very well at all. Part of that is certainly that the Debian packages have always been missing essential dependency annotations. Another part is that the package install/update scripts have failed to run "gst-register" or something. My best guess is that the developers have been focused on getting essential infrastructure in place, and not worrying so much about user-level detailing.
That they're exposing a higher profile might signal that they're happy with the infrastructure, and ready to spackle and paint it.
Testimonials on the gstreamer site Posted Dec 15, 2005 11:47 UTC (Thu) by nix (subscriber, #2304) [Link] Well, `gst-register' has disappeared: they've been listening :)
It's worked well for me ever since I got the gst-register mess sorted out, and upgraded popt to 1.7 to fix a popt crash bug tripped by all the gstreamer command-line tools.
