GStreamer 1.0 and 0.10GStreamer 1.0 and 0.10Posted Oct 28, 2011 12:38 UTC (Fri) by jospoortvliet (subscriber, #33164)Parent article: GStreamer 1.0 and 0.10
Well, maybe GStreamer 1.0 will actually be good enough to use. Sorry to rant but it's still a pain in the ass, after all those years it can't beat VLC and Xine... I'm quite happy the KDE devs decided to develop Phonon as abstraction layer so I can use VLC as backend for playing audio and video :D

Xine backend for Phonon is completely unmaintained and abandoned. VLC backend relies on ffmpeg and many mainstream distributions cannot include it by default due to patent encumbrances. That leaves Gstreamer as the only viable default option.

For for me the times I use it (1-2/week). I am really used to mplayer, so I use that more often, but think the "good enough to use" stage was achieved many years ago. Also usually resort to gstreamer when mplayer doesn't play it.

Can you give any specific use case that current Gstreamer is not "good enough to use"?
