Fluendo codecs in Fedora 8?

[Valent Turkovic]

I followed instructions for installing fluendo mega codec pack and
copied all files to
/usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/ under Fedora 8 test 3 (with latest updates)
but whenever I try to open different video files I still get message
from Totem that I need to go to fluendo site and get codecs...

I then copied files also to ~/.gstreamer-0.10/plugins directory but
that doesn't help either...

Any ideas? Should I file a bug? Am I doing something wrong?

Thank you in advance.

Valent.

I would suggest you contact your vendor (Fluendo) for support on the
proprietary software you've installed from them.

Sure, of course I will but I need to know it the OSS bits or
proprietary bits are "broken". I can equally assume that totem it to
blame or CodecBuddy or some other OSS and also proprietary fluendo
part...

That was the intention of my question.

I posted them a inquiery but I want to see if somebody already knows
what might be the issue and with which component in the chain is the
issue.

Thank you,
Valent.

If you followed your vendor's instructions and it's not working,
you need to follow that up with your vendor.

1) Check that the video you're trying to play is supposed to be playing
(ie. which video and audio codecs does it complain about when you exit
Codeina?)

2) Check that the plugins are correctly installed ("gst-inspect-0.10 |
grep flu" will list the Fluendo plugins.

3) File bugs with Fluendo if they're supposed to be playing and aren't:
https://core.fluendo.com/gstreamer/trac

Does gst-inspect report the codecs? what about if you put them in a
plugins directory in the .gstreamer (I think that's the one - not on
my linux box atm) in your home dir. This is what I've done and they
seem to work for me with basic testing.

I first tried coping them to /usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10 when that failed
I copied them to $HOME/.gstreamer-0.10/plugins. Now I have them on
both places.

$ gst-inspect-0.10 | grep flu
fluac3dec: audio/ac3: no extensions
fluac3dec:  fluac3dec: AC3 decoder
flumpeg4vdec:  flumpeg4vdec: Fluendo MPEG-4 ASP Video Decoder
flumpeg2vdec:  flumpeg2vdec: Fluendo MPEG-2 Video Decoder
fluwmvdec:  fluwmvdec: Fluendo WMV Decoder
fluisodemux:  fluisodemux: ISODemux Demuxer
flumpegdemux:  flupsdemux: MPEG Program Demuxer
flumpegdemux:  flutsdemux: MPEG Transport stream demuxer
fluasf:  fluasfdemux: Fluendo ASF Demuxer
fluasf:  fluasfcmdparse: Fluendo ASF Command Parser
flumms:  flummssrc: Fluendo MMS source
fluwmadec:  fluwmadec: Fluendo WMA Decoder
flump3dec:  flump3dec: Fluendo MP3 Decoder (IPP build)

I copied fluendo codec files to $HOME/.gstreamer-0.10/plugins in
openSuse 10.3 and it worked with some videos that previously it
didn't. Namely it worked with one mpeg1 file named bespring.mpg the
same file under same player on Fedora 8 test 3 gives this error:

$ totem /data/bedspring.mpg

Any ideas?

Does this look to you like totem of fluendo bug?

Selinux :)

chcon -t texrel_shlib_t /home/fedora8test3l/.gstreamer-0.10/plugins/*.so

Thank you, thank you, thank you :)

chcon -t textrel_shlib_t ~/.gstreamer-0.10/plugins/*

this fixes the issue :)

where and to whom should I post bug in order for selinux not to stop
fluendo codecs from working?

Ideally Fluendo should fix their code. Otherwise you can file a bug 
report against SELinux policy and see if they are agreeable to 
workaround this.

Agreed. I reopened the ticket on their bugtracker:

This is the reply I got from fluendo support:

    cc		Fluendo Store Manager

    subject		Re: Fluendo codecs in Fedora 8?

Yes we know about that problem and we are pushing Intel everyday to
provide us with a version of IPP that does not do text relocation.

Sorry for the frustration that it creates.

Best regards,

Julien Moutte,

You can consider filing a RFE against SELinux policy to not deny this.

What is the bug number for this?

If we can't make this happen then the Codecbuddy feature kinda falls
apart, requiring the user first to click his way through a dialog then
drop to a shell and invoke SELinux magic in accordance to the "known
issues" page which.. nobody appears to read.
