GStreamer ffmpeg plug-in
Mistelix requires GStreamer ffmpeg plug-in 0.10.6 or higher.
To easy the installation process we provide some instructions on how to install it in different distributions.
Ubuntu
You need to install the unrestricted version of libavcoded, and after that, the gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg plug-in (in this order).
From the command line, type:
sudo apt-get install libavcodec-unstripped-52 gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg
If you had gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg previously installed, you have to uninstall it first and then install the packages in the given order.
Fedora
You should install the Fedora following packages from the RPMFusion project:
- gstreamer-ffmpeg.i586
- gstreamer-plugins-ugly
Additionally, you should install Fluendo's MP3 GStreamer plugin.
openSUSE
You may find these dependencies at Packman.
Building GStreamer ffmpeg plug-in from sources
Mistelix uses gst-ffmpeg to create MPEG2 files complaint with the DVD standard.
Check out the source code from git doing:
git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gst-ffmpeg
Make and install the libraries.
Verify that gst-ffmpeg is correctly installed
To verify that you have installed GStreamer ffmpeg plug-in correctly, type:
gst-inspect-0.10 | grep mpeg2video
you should get:
ffmpeg: ffmux_mpeg2video: FFMPEG mpeg2video Muxer ffmpeg: ffdec_mpeg2video: FFMPEG MPEG-2 video decoder ffmpeg: ffenc_mpeg2video: FFMPEG MPEG-2 video encoder

Build from sources
Building is straight forward and familiar if you have ever built software on Linux before. Mistelix uses the standard autotools suite for our build environment. Once you have satisfied all the build dependencies, just type:
./autogen.sh && make
To install into your system you should do:
su <Enter password root> make install
or
sudo make install
Depending on your distribution permission configuration.
To run Mistelix type mistelix. Be aware that this is a script that runs mono and the application (check mistelix.in).
