    <thetext>I&apos;ve had to help a number of users on IRC/the mailing lists who get confused by the fact that adding e.g. gst-plugins-good to IMAGE_INSTALL doesn&apos;t actually install anything - instead they have to add gst-plugins-good-meta and then they will get all of the plugins that have been built in their image. There&apos;s nothing to help the user realise this nor is this convention used outside of the gst-plugins-* recipes as far as I am aware.

Unless there is a really good reason not to do so, I suspect the simplest solution would be to make the main package do what the -meta package does now (or alternatively for backwards compatibility make the main package depend on the -meta package).</thetext>

    <thetext>Had the same issue with even gstreamer1.0-plugins-good.

Even with installing gstreamer1.0-plugins-good-meta, there are still missing plugins (qtdemux for example)</thetext>

    <thetext>Does a package for the qtdemux plugin actually get produced? Perhaps the lack of qtdemux is simply because that plugin isn&apos;t being built at all - you can check the do_configure log to confirm.</thetext>

    <thetext>isomp4 wasn&apos;t built so it probably explains why qtdemux isn&apos;t there. Probably a false negative</thetext>
