How to install all video and audio codec

Hello,

I want to install video and audio codec on my jolla phone.

Where can i find them to read all video files?

How to install them too?

Thanks

Some are opensource, som are not. There is no 'install'em all' package :P

Allthough, you can try and compile VLC

Re: How to install all video and audio codec

Sailfish OS uses gstreamer right? Should'nt it be relativly easy to compile gst-ffmpeg for sailfish?

Will have a look with mer platform-sdk in the future

Re: How to install all video and audio codec

Yes, probably also simple to compile VLC, did a small test here (at work LOL) and I dont think it should be to hard, will look into it later

A nice gui would probably be the most time consuming part :D

Re: How to install all video and audio codec

heh, yeah, I am not a GUI kinda guy. I love my commandline crap ;)
But, perhaps, someone can add that to compiled code ;)

Re: How to install all video and audio codec

What codecs are missing? Give me some examples and I'll look into it. Gst-ffmpeg is already installed by default but could of course be missing stuff that's been disabled for legal reasons. I can't find gst-plugins-ugly though. IIRC VLC is not yet ported to Qt5 so no luck there.

Re: How to install all video and audio codec

I think that they disabled them ;). AC3 is missing probably DTS and co too. Must test it soon

Re: How to install all video and audio codec

VP8 / VP9 are notably missing ("thanks" to Nokia for being a troll serving their MS overlords).

One can also build mplayer, or mpv. They support tons of codecs and don't rely on gstreamer (they use ffmpeg or libav directly).

n950	2014-01-02 16:38

Re: How to install all video and audio codec

For exemple I have recorded MP4 file with my Sony Cybershot and I can't read it with sailfish player why?

I need one codec (support all video and audio) to install in RPM file possible? with the terminal.

Like FFdshow
http://sourceforge.net/projects/ffdshow/
http://www.free-codecs.com/download/ffdshow.htm

or FFmpeg :)

Re: How to install all video and audio codec

Like it's been said here before, the multimedia is built around gstreamer, but not all plugins are available for whatever the reason. These should be the momentarily available decoders

Code:

[nemo@dhcppc1 ~]$ gst-inspect-0.10 | grep dec

openmax:  omxh263dec: OpenMAX H.263 Video Decoder

openmax:  omxh264dec: OpenMAX H.264 Video Decoder

openmax:  omxmpeg4videodec: OpenMAX MPEG4 Video Decoder

av:  avadec: av audio decoder

speex:  speexdec: Speex audio decoder

rtsp:  rtpdec: RTP Decoder

png:  pngdec: PNG image decoder

mulaw:  mulawdec: Mu Law audio decoder

jpeg:  smokedec: Smoke video decoder

jpeg:  jpegdec: JPEG image decoder

flxdec:  flxdec: FLX video decoder

flac:  flacdec: FLAC audio decoder

annodex:  cmmldec: CMML stream decoder

alaw:  alawdec: A Law audio decoder

vorbis:  vorbisdec: Vorbis audio decoder

theora:  theoradec: Theora video decoder

uridecodebin:  uridecodebin: URI Decoder

uridecodebin:  decodebin2: Decoder Bin

decodebin:  decodebin: Decoder Bin

you can notice for example mpeg2 decoder is missing.(it's part of gst-plugins-ugly which is not installed and not available in the repos)
Also not all plugins from other plugin bundles are available. Yesterday I compiled MPEG-2 transport stream demuxer from -bad, wasn't that hard using the Mer Build engine.

Re: How to install all video and audio codec

I put gst-plugins-ugly on Openrepos now so AC3 should work. Will take a look at VP8/VP9 now.

Edit: Ok, no libvpx in Sailfish so will have to start building that and then look for gst plugins somewhere.

2014-01-02 18:30

Re: How to install all video and audio codec

libvpx is missing in Sailfish for legal reasons (it's considered risky because of Nokia, but not because it's really infringing), but it can probably be added to Mer (unless Mer project also objects to it).

Re: How to install all video and audio codec

I would love to see this realized... I remember the plugin package we had on the N900 it made it this multimedia beast. any way to recycle old maemo packages.. probably not

Yeah I found vp8 plugin in gst-plugins-bad but I can't get libvpx to build ... yet. Get an error:

How can you compile a source code? for your exemple.

can you give me all the steps to add vp8 plugin to existing source codec? command lines plz
you are on linux? ubuntu? in terminal...
thanks in advance.

Re: How to install all video and audio codec

n950: Source code can be compiled with Mer SDK, or automatically with the OBS.

Start here:

I've had this in the past with Sony equipment where they have their own codec. The file container format is MP4 but the codec is their own MSNV codec. Not all players support it so you have to convert it to regular MP4 before it'll play.

Handbrake or ffmpeg will probably convert it.

For exemple with my windows XP and FFDshow installed all MP4 files can play.
I think it's possible with Linux but need to add some codec to the existing one in SailfishOS.

Re: How to install all video and audio codec

n950: Windows example is irrelevant. Codecs are handled through libraries on Linux (libvorbis, libopus, libvpx, libav etc. etc.). And then there are frameworks built on top of that (like the mentioned above gstreamer). Applications use those libraries (for example mplayer) or they use higher level frameworks. Or a combination of both (for example Sailfish browser).

Any updates?

Re: How to install all video and audio codec

I managed to build libvpx but I can't seem to get any picture. The Gallery app only seems to take mp4 and gst-launch doesn't give any picture only sound. Is there not a video player available that plays everything that gstreamer supports?

Edit: And are Opus and DTS also missing? Because those are part of gst-plugins-bad too.

Re: How to install all video and audio codec

Opus is WIP, it's going to be enabled together with transition to gstreamer 1.0 (according to Jolla). I.e. nothing legal prevents it.

2014-01-03 20:35

Re: How to install all video and audio codec

How did you run the gst-launch by the way?

xerxes2

2014-01-03 21:00

Re: How to install all video and audio codec

Opus fixed and tested, was in -bad too. VP8 works according to gst-launch but it doesn't give any picture. I'm running gst-launch like this:

gst-launch-0.10 playbin2 uri=file:///home/nemo/test.opus

But it doesn't seem to support pictures, we'll have to investigate a bit more. Someone must also write a video player that supports everything that gstreamer do.

shmerl

2014-01-03 21:08

Re: How to install all video and audio codec

For video you need to use proper sinks I think. I'll take a look at how to run it.

xerxes2

2014-01-03 22:26

Re: How to install all video and audio codec

I added support for DTS to -bad and tested on device. And xvid doesn't seem to be supported in -bad either so will have to add that too. Maybe even Gallery will support that.

xerxes2

2014-01-04 15:18

Re: How to install all video and audio codec

Ok I added the rest of the plugins to openrepos now. So ...

gst-plugins-ugly -> ac3 and some more stuff
gst-plugins-bad-extra -> dts, opus and vp8
gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg-extra -> xvid and the kitchen sink :)

But we need a good video player too because Gallery is seriously crippled.

Edit: Install instructions:

Code:

ssu addrepo sailfish_lib http://sailfish.openrepos.net/sailfish_lib/personal/main 

ssu updaterepo

pkcon refresh sailfish_lib 

pkcon install gst-plugins-ugly gst-plugins-bad-extra gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg-extra

Wow, thanks! Seems to be working fine even with the gallery player. Now I can play most of my videos, great.
I just have color issues with some XVID videos (see the attachment). But I don't know whether it's codec or player issue.

I don't know what format that is but you can try the ffmpeg plugin mentioned above. Or you can give a sample to try or take a look here:
http://pastebin.com/TxtdWMrg

There you have everything that is supported by ffmpeg but Gallery might not play it anyway because it's crippled.

Edit: BTW, my messed up file looked exactly like yours so something is not quite right here.
