PostPosted: Fri Jul 21, 2017 2:08 am    Post subject: ghb: "Couldn't initialize gstreamer. Disabling live pre Reply with quote

I would be grateful for some help with a problem using HandBrake with GStreamer.

HandBrake 1.0.7 apparently works fine in my Gentoo Stable installation running KDe Plasma 5.9.5, with one exception: HandBrake cannot display live previews. When launched from the command line HandBrake launches the GUI and outputs the following single message in the terminal:

Code:
fitzcarraldo@clevow230ss ~ $ ghb
** Message: Couldn't initialize gstreamer. Disabling live preview.


I have installed the latest version of HandBrake from the Portage main tree:

The HandBrake source code responsible for the message is in HandBrake-1.0.7 > gtk > src > preview.c, and the specific code is as follows:

Code:
#if defined(_ENABLE_GST)
    GstBus *bus;

    ud->preview->play  = gst_element_factory_make("playbin", "play");
    ud->preview->vsink = gst_element_factory_make("gdkpixbufsink", "pixsink");
    if (ud->preview->play == NULL || ud->preview->vsink == NULL)
    {
        g_message("Couldn't initialize gstreamer. Disabling live preview.");
        GtkWidget *widget = GHB_WIDGET(ud->builder, "live_preview_box");
        gtk_widget_hide (widget);
        widget = GHB_WIDGET(ud->builder, "live_preview_duration_box");
        gtk_widget_hide (widget);
        return;
    }
    else
.
.
.


So gst_element_factory_make() is returning NULL for some reason.

The ghb executable is linked against libgstreamer:

Code:
fitzcarraldo@clevow230ss ~ $ ldd /usr/bin/ghb | grep gstreamer
        libgstreamer-1.0.so.0 => /usr/lib64/libgstreamer-1.0.so.0 (0x00007f5df99c0000)


The following GStreamer command plays the video file correctly:

Code:
fitzcarraldo@clevow230ss ~ $ gst-play-1.0 /home/fitzcarraldo/20170401_102330.mp4
Press 'k' to see a list of keyboard shortcuts.

Redistribute latency...

Reached end of play list.


The following GStreamer command plays audio correctly:

Code:

So GStreamer itself looks to be working correctly. I'm no expert, but it seems to me that HandBrake is unable to detect GStreamer or its plugins.

The only similar problem I can find on the Web is described in a 2010 thread "Couldn't initialize gstreamer. Disabling live preview." in the HandBrake Community Forums, but the preview.c code has changed since then.

Any ideas?

Fitzcarraldo,

I installed Handbrake on my gnome-3.22.2 box. Sorry it's not much like Plasma.

ghb by itself does not give me the message about initializing gstreamer / disabling live preview.

Maybe these comparisons will help:

Thank you very much for replying and providing the corresponding details for your installation, russK. I compared our installations:

1. music-video/gstreamer

USE flags I have that you have differently: x265
USE flags you have that I have differently: -x265

2. media-video/ffmpeg

USE flags I have that you have differently: gmp gnutls jack openal speex -vdpau -vpx
USE flags you have that I have differently: vdpau vpx -gmp -gnutls -jack -openal -speex

3. media-libs/gstreamer:0

Identical, albeit mine was built on 22/04/15 and yours was built on 25/03/17.

4. media-libs/gstreamer:1

Me: ABI_X86="64 -32 -x32"
You: ABI_X86="32 64 -x32"

5. GStreamer plugins

Plugins I have installed that you do not:
[I] media-plugins/gst-plugins-dv (1.10.5(1.0)@20/07/17)
[I] media-plugins/gst-plugins-dvb (1.10.5(1.0)@20/07/17)
[I] media-plugins/gst-plugins-jack (1.10.5(1.0)@20/07/17)
[I] media-plugins/gst-plugins-lame (1.10.5(1.0)@20/07/17)
[I] media-plugins/gst-plugins-libnice (0.1.13-r100(1.0)@22/08/16)
[I] media-plugins/gst-plugins-soup (1.10.5(1.0)@20/07/17)
[I] media-plugins/gst-plugins-x264 (1.10.5(1.0)@20/07/17)

Plugins you have installed that I do not:
[I] media-plugins/gst-plugins-gdkpixbuf (1.10.5(1.0)@07/18/2017)
[I] media-plugins/gst-plugins-jpeg (1.10.5(1.0)@07/18/2017)
[I] media-plugins/gst-plugins-vpx (1.10.5(1.0)@07/18/2017)


Although our media-libs/gstreamer:0 installations are identical, I last merged that package in 2015 so I re-merged it just in case but it made no difference (I didn't expect it to, as HandBrake uses media-libs/gstreamer:1 as far as I'm aware). However, one of the plugins you have that I didn't have looked to me like it could be relevant, so I merged it:

Code:
emerge -1v gst-plugins-gdkpixbuf


Lo and behold, when I now launch HandBrake from the command line, I no longer get the warning message and HandBrake's live preview now works. \o/

I wonder why media-plugins/gst-plugins-gdkpixbuf is not specified as a dependency in the media-video/handbrake ebuild, and I also wonder which package installed it in your GNOME installation. In my KDE Plasma 5 installation no ebuilds of installed packages have gst-plugins-gdkpixbuf as a dependency:

Code:
clevow230ss fitzcarraldo # equery depends gst-plugins-gdkpixbuf
 * These packages depend on gst-plugins-gdkpixbuf:
clevow230ss fitzcarraldo # equery depends -D gst-plugins-gdkpixbuf
 * These packages depend on gst-plugins-gdkpixbuf:
clevow230ss fitzcarraldo #


Anyway, thank you again for your help. I doubt I would have found the solution otherwise, as it's quite obscure. I have filed a report in the Gentoo Bugzilla:

Awesome, thanks. I'm trying to steer people away from upstream to report HandBrake bugs here, since we modify the build so much.

Fitzcarraldo,

I'm glad it worked out.

btw, if I did not use gnome, Handbrake might have given me the same problem:
Code:
$ equery depends gst-plugins-gdkpixbuf
 * These packages depend on gst-plugins-gdkpixbuf:
media-gfx/shotwell-0.24.6 (media-plugins/gst-plugins-gdkpixbuf:1.0)
