gstreamer status for 4.2.0-dev?

Subj line sez it all... where are we? There was a proposal to make it a run-time dependency but afaict there hasn't been any effort yet it doing that.

I know we have a handful of other things TODO re: 4.2.0 but this seems to be an inflection point for the Linux builds and so I really think we need to resolve this if we have any intent in getting a 4.2.0 beta out in a reasonable time frame.

On May 19-20, 2018, I pulled 4.2.0-1 trunk 1831928 and built
OpenOffice with my local build of GCC-5 GNU compiler.
I simply apt- and got
https://packages.debian.org/stretch/libgstreamer1.0-dev from Debian
9.x repository for AMD64.

In my build I experienced no issues opening previous ODT entities nor
creating new ones. On the other hand, after testing a multimedia .mp4
clip (which plays excellently) if I click, i.e., select, an empty area
ApacheOO simply crashes. Here is a small screen recording of the
issue.

Thank you for this information, it is useful. I understand the need for
a standardized AV app in some ways, but, assuming an end user's
preferred AV app supports a wide variety of formats, I think it would be
better for AOO (in non-Win, non-Mac) implementations to try to determine
the the end user's AV application, and use that rather than providing a
new AV app. But...a much longer discussion not on this thread.

The using of gstreamer multimedia backend of OpenOffice was anounced in Oracle OpenOffice.org 3.4 Beta 
in April 2010 and the first release with it was the Apache OpenOffice 3.4.0 in May 2012.

Previously to play multimedia content in OpenOffice the Java Media Framework (JMF) was used
( https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Java/Java_Media_Framework ). 
The JMF wasn't updated since 2003 and supported too small amount of formats in contrast to gstreamer.

The implementation can be found at avmedia/source/

I think we use native API / libs for Windows and Mac.

As I explained in a previous mail, Windows uses DirectShow and Mac uses
QuickTime or MacAVF.

Linux's equivalent of DirectShow is gstreamer. It also builds pipelines of
filters, has codecs, supports embedding into windows, etc.

This is ONLY for Linux. So, how is multimedia "integrated" in AOO for
Mac and Windows? Can someone point us to the applicable code areas for this?

I have a feeling gstreamer was integrated long ago when no other
multi-media standard/app for Linux existed. Now it seems VLC seems to
the standard for the most part. (This is a dated web page but I think
it's still a good reference:
http://www.yolinux.com/TUTORIALS/LinuxTutorialMimeTypesAndApplications.html). 
Basically, we are supplying gstreamer as a multimedia app to Linux when
maybe this isn't really needed.

How about we ask the community if we need to support centOS6?
If no one uses CentOS6 maybe we make a fuzz for nothing. I am not aware that another distro is using that old versions.

The important thing is how much users we say we need to extend the support to CentOS 6?

I would also include the symbolic patch that Damjan provided. So we can build gstreamer support in general, but do not have to deliver it.

Re: gstreamer status for 4.2.0-dev?

Posted by Peter kovacs <pe...@apache.org>.

That's why the simplest solution is to move to centOS7 for now. We need to debug the gstreamer support too.
Even if it is not important to all users /devs.

Personally, I have no use for gstreamer... ;-)

But I would be happy to have a 4.2.0-dev

 - without general error on Linux [1]
 - without crash when inserting a frame in Writer (cross platform) [2]
 - with the ability to open ppt files with a double click on Windows [3]

Shouldn't we concentrate on release blockers like these? There is enough
work to do before we can even think about releasing a beta.

Re: gstreamer status for 4.2.0-dev?

Posted by Peter Kovacs <pe...@posteo.de>.

We have decided this without considering that gstreamer gstreamer 1.0.0 can not compile there.
I am not sure, if we compile gstreamer with Damjan's symbol patch. Will it the work despite gstreamer has to be build with a different gcc Version? (I lack the experience on this, but my expectation is that it will cause issues)

So I would like to change my mind to switch directly to 7. And resolve issues with 6 seperatly. If we find volunteers for it.
I am not sure if it is worth to invest much in centos6 with the current volunteers we have. (Despite the fact that the interest or time seems not to fit.)
