Requesting the Evaluation Binary

Features of the Evaluation
To help you test our GstObu plugin, RidgeRun can provide an evaluation version of the plugin.
The following table summarises the features available in both the professional and evaluation version of the element.
| Feature | Professional | Evaluation |
|---|---|---|
| ObuInject Element | Y | Y |
| ObuExtract Element | Y | Y |
| ObuMetatester Element | Y | Y |
| Unlimited Processing Time | Y | N (1) |
| Source Code | Y | N |
(1) The evaluation version will limit the processing time to a maximum of 2500 frames.
Evaluating the plugin
First, make sure the dependencies are fulfilled.
Gstreamer 1.22
Check the current gstreamer version with the following command:
gst-launch-1.0 --version
If the version is lower to 1.22 uninstall the current version and build GStreamer following the Building from source guide.
Eval Binary Installation
Once the requirements above are fulfilled, proceed with the installation of the tarball. RidgeRun should've provided you with the following compressed tar package:
gst-obu-metadata-X.Y.Z-P-J-eval.tar.gz
Extract the contents of the file with the following command:
tar -xvzf <path-to-evaluation-tar-file>
Execute the test environment configuration script:
cd gst-obu-metadata-X.Y.Z-P-J-eval/ ./configuration.sh
Eval Binary Testing
Finally, test that the plugin is being properly picked up by GStreamer by running:
gst-inspect-1.0 obu
The expected output is:
Plugin Details: Name obu Description Gstreamer plugin to add metadata as Open Bitstream Units (OBU) Filename /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gstreamer-1.0/libobu.so Version 0.1.0 License Proprietary Source module gst-obu Binary package gst-obu Origin URL https://www.ridgerun.com/ obuextract: OBU extract metadata obuinject: OBU inject metadata obumetatester: Helper element to insert a test GstObuMeta to buffers. 3 features: +-- 3 elements

Troubleshooting
The first level of debug to troubleshoot a failing evaluation binary is to inspect GStreamer debug output.
GST_DEBUG=2 gst-launch-1.0
If the output doesn't help you figure out the problem, please contact support@ridgerun.com with the output of the GStreamer debug and any additional information you consider useful.
