Anyone any experience of installing OpenOB on RPi?

Question

Hi,

I'm wanting to install OpenOB on a Pi 3 with Wolfson/Cirrus audio card.

I've got the card drivers running and it's detected by ALSA.

I was following the installation tutorial here -> https://jamesharrison.github.io/openob/tutorial.html

but I'm baulked at installing gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg which seems to be obseleted in Debian 8, and presumably therefore Raspbian Jessie. I just wondered if anybody had done this and overcome this issue?

I could build it from sources I guess if necessary, but I know nothing of the gstreamer architecture.

Kind regards,

Alan

Alan-

Debian 8 at one point switched to libav from ffmpeg which eliminated gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg. They did go back to ffmpeg but don't think gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg is there yet. You can try to install unsupported packages. Here is a link https://launchpad.net/~mc3man/+archive/ubuntu/gstffmpeg-keep

sudo apt-get install gstreamer-tools

Tells me the code is Python based and needs to install PyGST Tutorial/Getting Started - Pitivi wiki . Good luck, hoping this works.
