BTW, it seems we're missing a gstreamer HLS demuxer:

% gst-inspect-1.0 | 'grep' hlsdemux
adaptivedemux2:  hlsdemux2: HLS Demuxer
gtuber:  gtuberhlsdemux: Gtuber HLS demuxer
hls:  hlsdemux: HLS Demuxer

Notice how gtuber plugin provides one (for youtube of course), but we're missing a similar one for peertube, where HLS means HTTP live streamer, meaning we're missing the peertube streamer for gstreamer, :) Oh well... It might be it doesn't exist. If you're luckier and find a plugin providing that for peertube, please share the information. yt-dlp whih is used by mpv to get the videos, has no issue, so setting pipeline-gtk/tubefeeder to always use the external player, and setting such player to be mpv works, :)

Hmm, I'm still getting:

Your GStreamer installation is missing a plugin: PEERTUBE protocol source

That after the upgrade to 2.3.0-1. But given how hard it is to get a working piped instance, which besides don't ask me for login, currently I'm using just the external player already set to mpv, and yt-dlp is confiured with sponsorblock, and I added the dearrow plugin, so I with pipeline I don't miss a thing, since yt-dlp downloads peertube stuff without issues.

I don't know if you got a build issue BTW (I guess you upgraded to latest version), perhaps rebuilding paying attention if something fails, and otherwise just try again after rebuild.

Not sure if the PeerTube GStreamer plugin issue was indirectly solved somehow, but now I get a different error when I open Pipeline that states:

Missing Plugin

Your GStreamer installation is missing a plugin: text/html decoder.

I also found a GStreamer doc page that has info on what to do when a plugin is missing.

@je-vv No, I'm not sure how to figure out what the missing GStreamer plugin in that interfaces with the PeerTube protocol.

The only resources I've come across so far is a list of plugins from GStreamer documentation. Also, there is a doc page on installing plugins and how to write a plugin.

You are right @LFdev, missing the "cd" statement, :)

BTW, @taivlam, did you happen to find what the missing plugin is for peertube and what provides it?

Greetings !

Hi, there. Just a heads up: build is failing for v2.2.1-1 with:

==> Starting prepare()...
error: could not find `Cargo.toml` in `/home/user/.cache/paru/clone/pipeline-gtk/src` or any parent directory
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in prepare().
    Aborting...

I was able to fix it with:

diff --git a/PKGBUILD b/PKGBUILD

Thank you for maintaining the package. Regards.

@dreieck: This package is indeed missing a prepare function; however what you're referring to are submodules of cargo crates. See Rust package guidelines.

Ahoj,

this PKGBUILD downloads stuff in build().

This should not happen.

Please move the download, that cannot be handled in the source array, to the prepare() function, so that build() and package() can run in an offline environment.

Also, please download git submodules via the source array and reference them in prepare(), es explained here in the Arch Linux wiki for -git packages.

Here an excerpt from the terminal:

I can confirm what @taivlam reported. This time I have no clue what's required for gstreamer to fetch media from peertube. Last time it was hard for me to find what to use to fetch data from youtube. @fosdd, if it's working for you, can you examine the packages you have installed, and look for any that you might suspect helps fetching multimedia information from peertube or websites, like gtuber does, but gtuber doesn't fetch for peertube info, :(

I installed this package and when I tried playing a video, I observed a Missing Plugin error stating the following:

Your GStreamer installation is missing a plugin: PEERTUBE protocol source

Is this error related to this package, or something else?
