GStreamer x264enc not found
I installed GStreamer-0.10 and all modules (base, good, bad, ugly, ffmpeg) according to these instructions (browse through by clicking prev/next): http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/svn/multimedia/gst-plugins-ugly.html
Everything seemed to have worked just fine but when I want to execute my pipeline I got this error:
glib.GError: no element "x264enc"
Apparently the module was not installed:
gst-inspect x264enc
No such element or plugin 'x264enc'
After that I installed the codec by executing:
sudo apt-get install x264
This did not work either. So I installed the latest build manually: http://www.videolan.org/developers/x264.html
After a successful installation of x264 I ran ./configure on the gstreamer-0.10 ugly modules once again and found out about this:
configure: *** checking feature: x264 plug-in ***
configure: *** for plug-ins: x264 ***
checking for X264... no
configure: No package 'x264' found
configure: *** These plugins will not be built: x264
configure: creating ./config.status
A check if x264 is available seems to get fullfilled:
which x264
/usr/local/bin/x264
I'm using ubuntu server 12.04 LTS. Any ideas what I have to do to compile this module properly? Thanks!
Answer
Try to install it using:
sudo apt-get install gstreamer1.0-plugins-ugly
OR
sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.1-plugins-ugly
It worked for me.
