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.

User Notes: https://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/wiki/gst10-plugins-good
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 --prefix=/usr \
--buildtype=release \
-Dpackage-origin=https://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/systemd/ \
-Dpackage-name="GStreamer 1.20.4 BLFS" &&
ninja
To test the results, issue: ninja
test. One test, elements_rtpbin is known to fail on some systems.
Now, as the root user:
ninja install
--buildtype=release:
Specify a buildtype suitable for stable releases of the package, as
the default may produce unoptimized binaries.
