[ Test Plan ] * To reproduce the bug, from a plucky installation, $ sudo apt install gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad $ gst-inspect-1.0 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gstreamer-1.0/libgstnvcodec.so No such element or plugin '/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gstreamer-1.0/libgstnvcodec.so' * With the new package, the gst-inspect-1.0 command should provide details about the plugin. [ Where problems could occur ] * Auto-plugging elements may now pick up the NVCODEC plugin instead of say a software fallback. Behaviour there could change, although I don't know of any applications in practice that would be available to test this. It should be noted this is not introducing a new feature, but rather restoring prior behaviour due to an upstream packaging accident picked up in Plucky. [ Other Info ] * The merge proposal for questing is available at - https://salsa.debian.org/gstreamer-team/gst-plugins-bad1.0/-/merge_requests/19 * The merge proposal for plucky is available at - https://salsa.debian.org/gstreamer-team/gst-plugins-bad1.0/-/merge_requests/20 * PPA: https://launchpad.net/~charles05/+archive/ubuntu/ppa/+build/31106373 [ Original Bug Report ] I noticed that on plucky the nvcodec plugin (libgstnvcodec.so) is missing. https://packages.ubuntu.com/plucky/amd64/gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad/filelist (missing) https://packages.ubuntu.com/jammy/amd64/gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad/filelist (there) Upon further inspection I could not find anything in the Changelog that mentioned any changes to nvcodec. I then noticed that it IS present in the plucky arm64 build: https://packages.ubuntu.com/plucky/arm64/gstreamer1.0-plugins- bad/filelist (there) So I am guessing something went wrong during the build and this went unnoticed? gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad/plucky,now 1.26.0-1ubuntu2 amd64 [installed] To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gst-plugins-bad1.0/+bug/2109413/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
