Bug#857286: gst-plugins-good1.0: please recompile with --enable-v4l2-probe configure option

[Dario Gallucci]

Source: gst-plugins-good1.0
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

Some embedded systems (such as Exynos and IMX.6) offer capability to decode
some video codecs with specialized HW units via the V4L2 M2M API.

Gstreamer provides, since version 1.4, a v4l2videodec element to use this API
in such platforms.

To enable this feature this package has to be configured with the
--enable-v4l2-probe flag.

I wish, if it is possible, to have this flag enabled at least on the ARM
(armel, armhf, arm64) platforms.

Best regards,
