Speaking as the author of the SUSE Conversations article in question(*), I’ll look in to adding it when I have time. I think it’s not there currently because when I originally developed this method of adding some codec support some years ago I didn’t have SLED on any hardware that was supprted, hence I wouldn’t have been able to test it. Also my hardware was able to play all my files without hardware acceleration. Also I think gstreamer-vaapi maybe didn’t actually exist at the time. I’m not sure I think I now have hardware that is supported though. You could try adding it yourself, you’d need to figure out the newest version of gstreamer-vaapi that’ll build (for the other gstreamer components I did this by trying each version incrementally until I reached one that failed) and modify the build script to include it in the list of packages to retrieve/build.
(*) As it says at the end of the article “Disclaimer: As with everything else at SUSE Conversations, this content is definitely not supported by SUSE (so don’t even think of calling Support if you try something and it blows up).”

remains gstreamer-vaapi for a complete ATI hw acceleration solution…will update if/when i manage to build it.[/QUOTE]
Did you, or anyone else, manage to build gstreamer-vaapi on SLED 11 SP3? I will look into it myself as well and all inputs are much appreciated.
Thanks.

Trying to build gstreamer-vaapi-0.5.4 and gets the following error:
Requested ‘glib-2.0 >= 2.28’ but version of GLib is 2.22.5
I think I should be able to get glib2 2.32 working from https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/windows:mingw/glib2 ?
However I am very new to OBS and not actually sure how to build the GLib2 src.rpm from the OBS project and not sure if it will work or crash my test-system.
Anyway that’s status for now - I will check up on OBS and try to get a newer version of Glib2 installed and take it from there.

Hi
Upping the glib version may not be a good idea, as well as grabbing a mingw version (these are to build windows versions of software). You might need to wait for SLE 12 to arrive which may be the later part of the year…
