Description Fabio D'Urso 2021-07-12 10:06:50 UTC
Hello,

I am trying to run a program that used to work on F32, but it fails on F33 with the following error:

> Error: Your GStreamer installation is missing a plug-in. -- ../ext/webrtc/gstwebrtcbin.c(157): _have_sctp_elements (): /GstPipeline:pipeline/GstWebRTCBin:webrtcbin:
> sctp elements are not available

This message comes from the "_have_sctp_elements" function in ext/webrtc/gstwebrtcbin.c, which looks for the "sctpdec" and "sctpenc" elements.

They are part of the "sctp" plugin (also from gstreamer-bad), which is no longer built in F33.

I have successfully tested that everything works again if I edit the spec file as follows and rebuild (tested on gstreamer1-plugins-bad-free-1.18.2-1.fc33.src.rpm):
 - remove "-D sctp=disabled" from the meson configure command
 - add "%{_libdir}/gstreamer-%{majorminor}/libgstsctp.so" to the %files section

I forgot to mention in the description that the issue only occurs when the program tries to create a webrtc data channel
