I have a some problems.
1. Installed needed codecs from sailfish repo, def and LLS playrs start to play videos, but not good, always with green and red lines..
2. Most of my files come with 2 audio lines and default one is a translated to russian line. But after installation of all needed plagins, both players started to use the original english line instead translated.
3. I noticed that Filetug (file browser) app also have player and only this player can show the clear image, see screenshot.
But this player have another problems:
* too much time to load video
* not have stop/pause/play button
* can't scroll video
* you always see circle in the middle and the scroll line at the button
Any advice, how to get clear image in def and lls players like in Filetug app? And how I can hear the translated audio line like before plugins installation?
Thanks

The sink used for video playback does not do any rendering by itself. It just lets the application get hold of egl images so it can blit them.
The sink uses android GL drivers so not all color formats are supported.

If someone wants to do a video player with GStreamer directly then I can help.

Here is an example: https://gitorious.org/cameraplus/cam...nderernemo.cpp
You basically either set the egl-display when you create the element or you set it the first time you get a frame available signal. It does not matter.

* Messed up colors for many non h264 files, possibly fixed with a ffmpegcolorspace element
* Lack of proper subtitle support, on/off, chose between multiple ones
* Missing capability to chose between many audio tracks in video files
Those three are the big ones I think. I know you're in the process of upgrading to gst-1 but still it would be nice if the messed up colors would be fixed. And to have an on/off switch for subtitles.
Edit: Also MediaPlayer got pretty good support for metadata which you would have to deal with in another way if you use gstreamer directly.

I have recently rewrote an app of mine to not use QtMultimedia because it prevented me from supporting all the use cases I need. If it works for you then fine, use it!
There is no xvimagesink in Sailfish as it's X11 specific and we use wayland.

All what I am saying is that I prefer GStreamer to QtMultimedia but it doesn't mean that the workd has to use it. It's just a matter of taste.

I just tried to play a xvid file but suddenly it didn't work. Has Jolla somehow blacklisted mpeg4 codecs? VP8 works though. I also found this:
https://together.jolla.com/question/...stream-codecs/
Edit: Or is it the avi container?

Anyone Know why before the 3 last updates I did watching mpeg without problems and now I can not???
They have modify something =??
They have modify something =??
The sink uses android GL drivers so not all color formats are supported.
If someone wants to do a video player with GStreamer directly then I can help.
Alternatively have a look at the sailfish media components RPM and there should be a video element that handles all this for you (not supported)
EDIT:
Yes we disabled a lot of codecs and we use AAC encoder only from gst-ffmpeg. The rest has been disabled because it's not needed and because of the limited codecs that we enable in our libav
libav is used for thumbnailing, tracker indexing and some audio encoding and decoding.
EDIT2:
Gallery is not really crippled. The issue is tracker does not recognize all the formats because libav lacks support for them.
