 Posted: Fri May 30, 2025 10:48 pm Post subject: I can't install GStreamer FDK AAC plugin. |
 |
|
Hi!
I'm working on a project with the Tauri Desktop Engine. I'm trying to display a video using a video HTML tag but I can't.
When I'm running the app I get this error:
| Code: |
** (WebKitWebProcess:32724): WARNING **: 04:38:14.860: The GStreamer FDK AAC plugin is missing, AAC playback is unlikely to work.
|
Trying to fix this I looked into installing the plugin and I found:
| Code: |
media-plugins/gst-plugins-faac
|
which look like it could be the right plugin.
However after installing the plugin the problem persisted so I looked into installing fdk stuff, I even set the fdk USE flag for ffmpeg and after rebuilding it it still didn't change anything.
What should I do? Did I install the wrong plugin? I couldn't find a better match.
Thanks in advance! |

At a glance it does not seem like we have it packaged, it's technically from gst-plugins-bad but would need a media-plugins/gst-plugins-fdkaac for it to be installed which does not exist (gst-plugins-bad package itself disables it, these use a split model where relevant).
FAAC is also a AAC encoder but is a different one (uses media-libs/faac rather than media-libs/fdk-aac)
That aside, neither should be needed for aac decoding/playback, they are only needed for encoding. So the warning may be unrelated to your issues unless that thing is doing transcoding or something (don't know that software). Either media-plugins/gst-plugins-faad or gst-plugins-libav can handle decoding/playback, maybe there's more.
If it was really needed gst-plugins-fdkaac would prob.ably be easy to package given we already have fdk-aac ("imagine" can just copy the gst-plugins-faac ebuild and replace faac dependency by fdk-aac), not that I handle/know gstreamer myself |

So I got it to work but it doesn't show the videos just the audio of the videos. I wonder what's wrong. I'm not doing any transcoding.
If anybody has any clue as to what kind of libraries I should maybe look into ?
Also I'm guessing that warning is a false flag since FDK AAC stuff relates to audio no? |

Don't know what that software is doing and how the warning might affect it, but AAC indeed has nothing to do with video, just audio. |
