Description Jamie Murphy 2023-04-01 06:20:10 UTC

Description of problem:

The pipewire-gstreamer package provided in Fedora is missing the `pipewiredeviceprovider` device provider. It seems that the specfile has it disabled, due to old bugs in Cheese and Pipewire


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

All published versions from F33 onward


Expected results:

The pipewiredeviceprovider would be present in the pipewire-gstreamer plugin


Additional info:

At least one camera app in development, Snapshot, relies on this plugin to get multimedia devices. Currently, we have to use Flatpak to develop this app, as running the app on a Fedora host crashes.

I did a quick test and could not reproduce the main issue from bug 1884260. Would be good if we got a bit more testing here. Jamie, IIUC you're now using a COPR to work around the issue - can you confirm it does not result in any regressions in Cheese for you?

Comment 2 Jamie Murphy 2023-04-03 15:55:02 UTC

Correct, I have a copr at https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/jamie/pipewire/ which enables the device producer. I can test for regressions later today or tomorrow, unless someone else wants to test earlier

Comment 3 Jamie Murphy 2023-04-05 05:23:56 UTC

Tested, am unable to reproduce the issue when using my copr version

According to Wim this will also get fixed in Fedora 38, not 37/36 though.
