Task #9 - How to add bad/ugly

[#1]

Bad and Ugly gstreamer plugins has their own special licensing, so it cannot be released formally inside any tarball. (I do not understand it deeply, if you want more info, please go to GStreamer: Licensing advice)

But you can add it on your own image, and you only need to change the local.conf

Please, add the following code to your local.conf:

LICENSE_FLAGS_WHITELIST = "commercial"

COMMERCIAL_AUDIO_PLUGINS ?= " \

gst-plugins-ugly-mad \

gst-plugins-ugly-mpegaudioparse \

"

COMMERCIAL_VIDEO_PLUGINS ?= " \

gst-plugins-ugly-mpeg2dec \

gst-plugins-ugly-mpegstream \

gst-plugins-bad-mpegvideoparse \

"

CORE_IMAGE_EXTRA_INSTALL += " \

packagegroup-fsl-gstreamer \

gst-plugins-base-videotestsrc \

gst-plugins-bad-fbdevsink \

gst-ffmpeg alsa-utils \

gst-plugins-good-isomp4 \

"

Please, note that this will not install *every* plugin from ugly or bad. It will only install the plugins from the list.

Go to Yocto Training - HOME

Go to Task #8 - Build kernel manually using created toolchain

I try to follow your instructions but I keep getting this error:

Sorry for my delay.

Could you, please, let me know which branch are you using? (master or dylan?)

[timothybean]

Hello,

Sorry for delay as well. I didn't seem to get email with notification.

I followed the steps according to:

http://www.ossystems.com.br/blog/2013/04/15/yocto-with-boundary-devices-nitrogen6x-5-steps-only

So, I assume dylan according to the post.

I need to get it resolved ASAP if you have any ideas. I have posted to Yocto forum without much support as of yet in getting it resolved.

I have verified on my host machine that /usr/local/bin/python does exist.

Thanks

Tim

[daiane_angolini]

how are you trying to install the package?

[timothybean]

I tried a few different ways.

1. I tried to add gst-plugins-bad-mpegtsdemux to the packagebase (I think that is the name, I dont' have it in front of me) where the -gstreamer packages are included (gst-plugins-good-meta).

2. The above post. But I removed everything except the LICENSE_FLAGS_WHITELIST and COMMERCIAL_VIDEO_PLUGINS and I changed it to gst-plugins-bad-mpegtsdemux.

Both resulted in the same error. Can you add it to your build and see if it runs?

Tim

[timothybean]

Any idea Daiane?

[daiane_angolini]

Sorry for delay ~very busy here~ :smileysad:

I will let it building over here and let you know tomorrow

[timothybean]

OK thank you... I think it may be possible to just copy for now the mpeg2tsdemux plugin from my LTIB build for temporary fix. But, I would like to get it resolved. Please let me know what you come up with.

Thanks

Tim

[daiane_angolini]

Please, see my local.conf. I did build fsl-image-test (on dylan) until the end. I think you can clean some packages, or remove your tmp completely and try again.

Hello Diane,

[daiane_angolini]

Sorry for my delay...

Which branch are you using? I will try to reproduce the error on my side

[tejasshah]

I am using dylan branch.

[tejasshah]

Hi Daiane,

I made a switch from Dylan to master branch and it solved the above error for me.

Now I want to add h264 encoder(x264enc) to my image. For this I added

gst-plugins-ugy-meta to CORE_IMAGE_EXTRA_INSTALL as you have shown

for adding particular element to the image.

Everything compiled properly here but still I didn't get x264enc element in my image.

Can you help me adding x264enc to my image?

[LeonardoSandova]

Tejas,

Make sure the gst-plugins-ugly-meta recipe contains the SW encoder you want. BTW, why do you need SW encoding if you got vpuenc?

leo

[tejasshah]

Hi Leo,

I am performing power consumption of sending a video from wandboard to a network we have set it up.

Basically here I am comparing the power consumption of video captured using software with video captured

using hardware accelerator on the board.

[tejasshah]

Hi Leo,

I am looking at the file inside ~/yocto/fsl-community-bsp/sources/poky/meta/recipes-multimedia/gstreamer/gst-plugins-ugly_0.10.19.bb

Is this the correct place to look up?

[LeonardoSandova]

Hi Tejas,

why are you including gst-plugins-ugly-meta? seems  that the recipe does not exist. As Daiane mentioned, have you add that element this way?

COMMERCIAL_VIDEO_PLUGINS ?= " \
    gst-plugins-ugly-x264enc \
"

In the other hand, That recipe (./poky/meta/recipes-multimedia/gstreamer/gst-plugins-ugly_0.10.19.bb) can also be used to include the element but I think the way Daiane mentioned is better for your purposes.

Leo

[daiane_angolini]

Good to hear it´s fixed on newer code. And I would like to see your results comparing both encoders, if you don´t mind to share, in future.

Looking on http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/poky/tree/meta/recipes-multimedia/gstreamer/gstreamer1.0-p...

It looks like the x264 is not selected by default:

PACKAGECONFIG ??= " \
  a52dec lame mad mpeg2dec \
  "

So, could you try, please, to add the following line you your local.conf?

PACKAGECONFIG_pn_gstreamer1.0-plugins-ugly += "x264"

Please, let me know the results

[tejasshah]

The reason is that I get a error when I add element that way. Here is the error I get:

Due to this error I am using gst-plugins-ugly-meta

Here is my config file when I add element as you suggested:

"

PACKAGECONFIG_pn_gstreamer1.0-plugins-ugly += "x264"

[tejasshah]

Hi Daiane,

As I mentioned earlier I am using gst-plugins-ugly-meta in CORE_IMAGE_EXTRA_INSTALL.

After adding the line of code that you asked for in the local.conf, it doesn't change anything.

I still get the same error that there is no element as x264enc.

Here is my config file. Please let me know if I have something wrong in there.

MACHINE ??= 'wandboard-dual'

DISTRO ?= 'poky'

PACKAGE_CLASSES ?= "package_rpm"

EXTRA_IMAGE_FEATURES = "debug-tweaks ssh-server-openssh"

USER_CLASSES ?= "buildstats image-mklibs image-prelink"

PATCHRESOLVE = "noop"

BB_DISKMON_DIRS = "\

    STOPTASKS,${TMPDIR},1G,100K \

    STOPTASKS,${DL_DIR},1G,100K \

    STOPTASKS,${SSTATE_DIR},1G,100K \

    ABORT,${TMPDIR},100M,1K \

    ABORT,${DL_DIR},100M,1K \

    ABORT,${SSTATE_DIR},100M,1K"

CONF_VERSION = "1"

BB_NUMBER_THREADS = '2'

PARALLEL_MAKE = '-j 2'

ACCEPT_FSL_EULA = ""

LICENSE_FLAGS_WHITELIST = "commercial"

CORE_IMAGE_EXTRA_INSTALL += " \

gst-plugins-ugly-meta \

gst-plugins-bad-meta \

gst-ffmpeg \

gst-plugins-base-meta \

"

PACKAGECONFIG_pn_gstreamer1.0-plugins-ugly += "x264"

Instead of using gst-plugins-ugly-meta, if I were to use gst-plugins-ugly-x264enc or gst-plugins-ugly-x264 as Leo suggested, then I get the below error.

[daiane_angolini]

Ok, I would need to spend more time debugging this, I need to reproduce it on my side.

Tejas Shah, could you, please, make me a favor? Could you, please, open a new discussion on imx-community, With title something like "How to include x264enc on yocto"

This way it would be much easier for another person to find the solution, in future (them among a lot of comments on a Doc).

Please, mention me (use @ and my name daiane_angolini). I´m going to test it using dora and let you know the results.

Oh, please, remember to add your log error :smileywink:

Thanks in advance,
