# gst-plugins-good-1.28.2

## Introduction to GStreamer Good Plug-ins

The GStreamer Good Plug-ins is a set of plug-ins considered by the GStreamer developers to have good quality code, correct functionality, and the preferred license (LGPL for the plug-in code, LGPL or LGPL-compatible for the supporting library). A wide range of video and audio decoders, encoders, and filters are included.

### Note

Development versions of BLFS may not build or run some packages properly if LFS or dependencies have been updated since the most recent stable versions of the books.

## Installation of GStreamer Good Plug-ins

### Note

If you need a plugin for a given dependency, that dependency needs to be installed before this package.

Install GStreamer Good Plug-ins by running the following commands:

    mkdir build &&
    cd    build &&

    meson setup ..            \
          --prefix=/usr       \
          --buildtype=release &&
    ninja

To test the results, issue: ninja test. One test, `elements_flvmux`, is known to fail on some systems.

Now, as the `root` user:

    ninja install

## Command Explanations

`--buildtype=release`: Specify a buildtype suitable for stable releases of the package, as the default may produce unoptimized binaries.
