gstreamer 0.10 is not available any longer in current Debian sid, only gstreamer 1.0 is. This leads however (not really unexpected) to compile errors, e.g.,

src/3rdparty/phonon/gstreamer/artssink.cpp:77:58: error: ‘GstRingBufferSpec’ has not been declared

Are there plans to get copperspice to work with gstreamer 1.0?

More important to me: Can gstreamer be disabled using ./configure? (I just want a minimal copperspice to run doxypress. I bet I don't need gstreamer support for that.)

Thank you for your issue report. We had this noted internally as a desired feature, and I have now filed both of these items in our public bug tracker:

bretzel,

We appreciate your willingness to look at CopperSpice. We currently support the Debian, Fedora, and Ubuntu Linux distributions. As you may or may not have seen from our other videos and documentation, we are certainly interested in knowing which platforms are relevant to our users. Your comment is the first to have mentioned Arch Linux and we are happy to investigate adding this platform to our CI set if you are interested.

In terms of GStreamer, we currently have a developer who is working on adding support for the 1.0 release and we are looking forward to this enhancement. If you have any other issues or concerns we look forward to working with you. We would simply ask to keep the public GitHub discussion on a professional tone.

Yes, "Audio" is certainly not the best name for a library but someone in the Unix world named it and all these years later we are still stuck with it. We are glad to find out that GStreamer is a high priority for you and we look forward to community contributions, whether they are suggestions, pull requests, or any other sort of help. We are very glad to work with everyone who wants to contribute to the development of CopperSpice in any area of interest.

Thanks again for your input.

I would like to add OpenSUSE Tumbleweed as another distribution using gstreamer 1.0

I was able to download, build, and install nas, but that seems to be unmaintained, or should I say extremely stable.

I'll try the binaries for now, but would much prefer to be able to build it myself.

I am using Kali Linux, i am downloading the Copperspice source but when i fetch the commnd: # "./configure" i got these build errors: Gstreamer Gstreamer-Plugins Audio
Looking for a solution but still got no luck.. Hopefully these issue will be resolve soon... :D

marknovem, Kali linux is not a supported platform so we have not had any experience with the build process there. Can you give us a more complete error message? Depending on how Kali linux is configured, you may be able to avoid the dependency on gstreamer by passing --disable-multimedia --disable-phonon when configuring CopperSpice.

This issue has been tracked a year ago. What is the current progress?
Is copperspice.com down?

Currently CS only supports the deprecated gstreamer 0.1 and not the current 1.x correct?
Where can I find those. Arch repo no longer have them.

@marknovem, it looks like you are missing whichever development package provides the Audio library. This library is needed even with phonon and multimedia disabled. Since it appears that Kali is a derivative of Debian, this package is most likely called 'libaudio-dev'. Thanks for your testing! Once we hear that you have success we will look at supporting Kali and putting it in our documentation.

@areriff, while I do not know much about Arch Linux, it does appear that gstreamer 0.1 is no longer available. In order to build CopperSpice on Arch Linux you would currently need to either build gstreamer 0.1 from source, or disable phonon and multimedia during the configuration process.

I just pulled from github and I'm trying to build Copperspice on Ubuntu 18.04. I installed all the dependencies but configure fails with:

The following libraries are missing and must be installed to build CopperSpice
Refer to the CS documentation for package names or consult your platform package manager
Gstreamer Gstreamer-Plugins

When I grep for Gstreamer Gstreamer-Plugins I find lines such as:

configure.ac:PKG_CHECK_MODULES(GSTREAMER_AUDIO, gstreamer-audio-0.10, GSTREAMER_AUDIO="yes", missing="$missing Gstreamer-Plugins")

dpkg reveals that gstreamer-audio-0.10 is not installed and apt-cache search has no knowledge of any such package.

But Ubuntu 18.04 IS supported! I'd love to get started but the last post on this thread was a year ago. Any news?

Thank you for your question. We still have this as an outstanding issue, and some developers are looking at porting CS to GStreamer 1.0. In the meantime, you can avoid the requirement for GStreamer entirely by building without Phonon and Multimedia by passing --disable-multimedia --disable-phonon to the configure script. You can see a list of the available configure options at https://www.copperspice.com/docs/cs_overview/build-options.html.

Thanks for your reply, much appreciated. I had seen your comment earlier about Kali Linux but hadn't thought that this would apply to supported builds as well (that is not a criticism). I have now successfully built the Copperspice libraries.

This issue will be resolved in the next release of CopperSpice which includes support for GStreamer 1.0.

GStreamer 1.0 can successfully be used with CopperSpice 1.6. We are preparing a release and prebuilt binary files will be available at the end of August. The current Harfbuzz branch contains the code which will become CS 1.6.0.
