Ok, sorry for the noise - there indeed haven't been any changes in gst-plugin-dav1d since 0.14.0, so this is all well and intended.
I'll need to remember that crates.io seems to be the official source for releases, not git(lab) tags :)
Oh, I see it hasn't been updated on https://crates.io/crates/gst-plugin-dav1d - will check back with the author if that was intended.
Hm, are you sure? The commit "Update versions to 0.14.2" does bump the version for it, see https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gst-plugins-rs/-/commit/50791105eb6afbf2ba162bbe59351b1102a686b9#14a5af756bb04b4a26c80cf95acf32f0f8b9f30f_2786_2785
P.S.: Just to mention why it matters - gstreamer1-plugin-dav1d, like gstreamer1-plugin-gtk4, is installed by default on Workstation and required for (software) AV1 support in gst video players, the Nautilus thumbnailer etc. and getting increasingly important as the codec becomes more common.
Thus having those two packages well maintained is IHMO rather important and I just want to make sure that there are no technical barriers for future updates :)
Thanks a lot!
One minor issue: gstreamer1-plugin-dav1d / rust-gst-plugin-dav1d seems to be missing - or was that on purpose because of no changes?
Works fine
Works an my setups and should close most remaining totem-video-thumbnailer crashes (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=totem-video-thumbnailer&list_id=13581194), most notably https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2268999 and its various duplicates.
For those who were facing thumbnailer crashes when using Files/Nautilus and have an affected file: - killall nautilus - rm -rf .cache/thumbnails/ - open Files and verify that the thumbnail now gets created successfully
This update also fixes the opaque region, so on machines with slow GPU and high res monitor there can be a visible improvement of frame rates / a decrease in power usage.
Testing a bit more, I found two regressions - not sure if they should block the upgrade though: 1. The gnome-shell recorder can't use the fast "dmabuf" sharing any more. This is can result to worse performance when the GPU is under pressure, notably when recording gaming. This will be fixed by Pipewire 1.2 that includes https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pipewire/pipewire/-/merge_requests/1881. General functionality is not affected. 2. clapper (0.5.2), which uses Gstreamer internals quite directly, crashes for me after the update when a hardware decoder is used. (update: I see that this was just reported)
Oh right, thanks.
Works well for me.
This should probably include another rebuild of rust-gst-plugin-gtk4-0.12.5 though in order to enable dmabuf passthrough (which depends on building against Gst 1.24) - just like the rebuild of gtk4 (which after the rebuild here supports passthrough in the video demo now).
Works and solves camera issues for some people.
