Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

When calf audio plugins is installed Gstreamer should recognize it as valid plugins this can be checked by running gst-inspect-1.0 | grep -i calf currently it returns nothing when it should look like this

This seems to be a installation issue according to the developer of pulse effects as seen on #259

This is a large issue due to PulseEffects having a soft dependency for calf (currently not included in the default package for PulseEffects) providing <85% of the software's effects (thus <85% cannot be enabled and is grayed out)

Confirmed, we do not have pkgconfig(lilv-0) (lilv / lilv-devel, the library responsible for lv2 plugin support) in gstreamer-1.0-plugins-bad package, hence why it is not enabled. Considering this an improvement over a package fix since the gstreamer bad plugins package isn't fundamentally broken.

Since the 4.5 update Pulseeffects gets its equalizer from calf, so it's grayed out. Right now, only feature available is autogain, so I consider Pulseeffects broken at this point. Should this thread be continued or new one made?

Isn't the pulseeffects issue rather related to the lisp-plug-ins integration?

Umm, yes, you're right. Do you know if gst-inspect-1.0 | grep lv2 should give me lv2 plug-ins I have installed? Because it shows nothing.

This appears to be fixed now. I cannot reproduce.
