[Gnash-commit] [sr #109027] gst_install_plugins_sync does not return

[Nutchanon Wetchasit]

Follow-up Comment #4, sr #109027 (project gnash):

Yes, in this case the problem is rooted in codec installation wizard. (It
should terminate with failure status if there's no package providing the
requested codec or if the installation process failed in any way)

Since the wizard is internal to GStreamer, I don't think Gnash itself could do
anything about it, other than possibly working around by disabling the codec
installation prompt entirely (easy), or keep problem in the background by
switching to asynchronous variant
<https://developer.gnome.org/gst-plugins-libs/0.10/gst-plugins-base-libs-gstpbutilsinstallplugins.html#gst-install-plugins-async>
of codec installer command (difficult, due to its dependency on GTK main
loop).

Otherwise, users could install `gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg` manually (like you did),
or build Gnash with direct FFmpeg/libAV support to avoid the problem
entirely.

Anyway, glad to see you successfully get it working.
