[Kirkstone] - gstreamer version 1.20.3 and "-D_TIME_BITS=64 -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64" build options

[marlene-jacquier]

There is an issue in official gstreamer version when building it with "-D_TIME_BITS=64 -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64" options. This has been fixed in gstreamer version 1.20.5 with the following commit: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gstreamer/-/commit/94a0d579d7c987dd3fb40eaa579fb6dde8fdc6f4

The symptom is that a gstreamer pipeline is in this case taking 80% of the CPU without the patch, no issue when using 32 bits time.

Is there a plan to integrate at least gstreamer 1.20.5 on the kirkstone branch. to avoid patching it ?

If the patch you have mention fix the issue you can submit it as backport in

meta-freescale/recipes-multimedia/gstreamer/gstreamer1.0_1.22.0.imx.bb

Line 94 in 88b87bd

SRC_URI:prepend = "${GST1.0_SRC};branch=${SRCBRANCH} "

something like that will do the job:

SRC_URI += "file://my.patch"

Actually the issue is already fixed in gstreamer1.0_1.22.0, as I said the patch mentionned is included in gstreamer1.0_1.20.5.
The question is about kirkstone branch, is there a plan to update to at least version 1.20.5 (currently 1.20.3) ?

[quaresmajose]

Sorry I got confused with the version, the patch should be applied on the

meta-freescale/recipes-multimedia/gstreamer/gstreamer1.0_1.20.3.imx.bb

Line 90 in 47e0b46

SRC_URI:prepend = "${GST1.0_SRC};branch=${SRCBRANCH} "

About the updated on kirk branch, I have no idea about when gstreamer imx fork will be updated.

I think it would be a good idea to prepare a PR. Could you please prepare it?

Hi @marlene-jacquier, can you make a PR with a patch file as @quaresmajose suggests?
