Totem-gstreamer: build gst-ffmpeg plugin from CVS

[cor2y]

its the power of the closed nvidia driver
They reversed the hue settings in the linux driver, so if you want to see video in the correct color scheme set the hue settings in totem either to the max or minimum settings, that should take care of it.
This only affects you when using the close source nvidia drivers and nvidia has indicated they don't plan to fix it.

How would I update gst-ffmpeg to the latest version from cvs ? I'd rather not download the whole lot again as it takes absolutely ages. Also is it possible to uninstall the current cvs version that I have ?

If you run the cvs checkout command from the directory above where you downloaded it to begin with, it will update the source files, that's the handy thing about using a developer's tool. On my system, I run:

 cvs -d:pserver:anoncvs@anoncvs.freedesktop.org:/cvs/gstreamer co gst-ffmpeg

Which should result in some output like this:

cvs checkout: Updating gst-ffmpeg
U gst-ffmpeg/ChangeLog
U gst-ffmpeg/configure.ac
U gst-ffmpeg/ffmpegrev
etc...

After this, you might want to check for a new upstream version of ffmpeg to compile with:

cd gst-ffmpeg
./autoregen.sh --prefix=/usr

This will update the external dependencies, fetch new updates for them if available, and re-run the configure script.

To answer the second question, to uninstall a version you've built and installed, running "sudo make uninstall" from the gst-ffmpeg directory should clean up what you've installed. In reality though, the ffmpeg plugins in /usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/ would just be overwritten by any other version you install, so doing the "make uninstall" thing is probably unnecessary.
