0.16.0 fedora 21 builds not supporting vorbis

[alas]

Checking back a number of versions, I don't see any fedora 21 that support vorbis (neither in the xpra/beta repos nor any of our own builds).

Tested the r10508, r11099, and r11304 0.16.0 fedora 21 builds... none had any support for vorbis.

Builds did have both gstreamer 0.10 and 1.0 (smo double checked), and

GStreamer version: 1.4.5.0
PyGStreamer version: 3.14.0

but...

encoders supported: mp3, wav, wavpack, speex
decoders supported: mp3, wav, wavpack, speex

Attaching some bug report tool goodies.

Fedora 21 is no longer supported and there will be no new builds for this release.

That said, to diagnose issues like this one, run (edited output to make it readable):

Interesting... running that same command I'm not seeing any reference to the following lines:

All I'm seeing is the following. I would make a novice guess and figure that there's some path failing to be set for the vorbis?

If you have a quick hint, that would be useful - otherwise I suppose you can close this ticket and I can open a new one if I find the issue after updating to a newer, sleeker fedora.

@afarr: you're missing the "-v" verbose flag, see comment:1.

... So close.

Let's try again.

The output shows:

missing ['gdppay', 'gdpdepay'] from ('vorbisenc', 'gdppay', 'vorbisdec', 'gdpdepay')

And then I find that:

$ rpm -qf  /usr/lib64/gstreamer-1.0/libgstgdp.so
gstreamer1-plugins-bad-free-1.6.1-2.fc23.x86_64

So r11411 adds gstreamer1-plugins-bad-free to the dependency list for Fedora, try a newer build or just yum install gstreamer1-plugins-bad-free.

[alas]

Sure enough, after a yum install gstreamer1-plugins-bad-free vorbis is working as hoped on a fedora 21 server, even r11366.

I've moved over to fedora 23 at this point anyway, but there may be other stubborn users that this will help. In any case, closing.
