This is the installation documentation for the Fluendo Codec pack.

Included in this package you will find a directory called
codecs containing codecs as .so files. Those files are 
plug-ins for the GStreamer framework and will provide the codec features
to any application using the GStreamer framework.

They can be installed in 2 different scenarios :

1) For one user only :
======================

Please copy all the files contained in the codecs directory in
the following directory ~/.gstreamer-0.10/plugins/

As a commodity you can run the following command line from a terminal :

user@host$ mkdir -p ~/.gstreamer-0.10/plugins; cp ./codecs/* ~/.gstreamer-0.10/plugins/

Once this is done a simple :

user@host$ ls ~/.gstreamer-0.10/plugins/

Should show a list of files named libgstflu*.so.

2) For the whole system (all users) :
=====================================

To do this you need to have root access on the machine. This can be achieved 
either by running commands with sudo or getting a root shell with the su 
command.

Once you are root you can copy all the files contained in the
codecs directory in the following directory
/usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/

If that directory does not exist that can mean that GStreamer 0.10 is not 
installed or is installed in a different location. If it is installed in a
different location you can figure out where that is with the following command :

root@host# gst-inspect-0.10 oggdemux | grep Filename

which should return something like :

Filename:             /usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/libgstogg.so

Meaning that plugins are installed in /usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/

To copy all the codecs in the GStreamer plugins directory run the following
command (assuming your current working directory is inside the unpacked codec 
archive where this documentation is):

root@host# cp ./codecs/* /usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/

Checking your codec installation :
==================================

In order to test codecs you can run the following command in a terminal :

user@host$ gst-inspect-0.10 | grep flu

which should show the following result (The following list can vary depending
on what codec pack you bought):

Once the codecs are sucessfully installed, you should have access
to playing back supported media files like Windows Media Video, MPEG videos,
DivX movies using GStreamer applications such as Totem Movie Player,
Rhythmbox Music Player, Banshee Music player, Amarok, Kaffeine or the
Elisa Media center. Please make sure that those applications are using the
GStreamer backend before reporting issues to the support.
