Building GStreamer with WebRTCBin support

General Discussion
1

Hello,

I managed to build GStreamer 1.24.10 from source on Windows 11 and I enabled WebRTC support. However, at runtime, I realized that some WebRTC dependency plugin is missing (dts and dtls). After adding meson flags to enable these dependency I’m running into openssl missing issue

ERROR: Problem encountered: HLS crypto support library "openssl" not found

Here is my meson configure command for GStreamer with WebRTC support:

meson configure build_dir --prefix=C:\gstreamer --buildtype=release -Dpython=disabled -Dgstreamer:gst_debug=true -Dgpl=enabled -Dgst-plugins-bad:webrtc=enabled -Dgst-plugins-bad:webrtcdsp=enabled -Dgst-plugins-bad:dtls=enabled -Dgst-plugins-bad:dts=enabled -Dgst-plugins-good:hls-crypto=openssl -Dpackage-origin=https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/src/gstreamer/gstreamer-1.24.10.tar.xz

Anyone can spot the missing dependencies (meson options) or how to enable openssl support for GStreamer on windows?

Thanks a bunch and Happy New Year!!

GStreamer binary packages for Windows are built using cerbero for what it’s worth, which will build most of the required dependencies as well.

I got past the openssl issue but the prominent issue seems to be not being able to find libdca on Windows.

Why do you need the DTS plugin and have it enabled? You can disable that plugin as it’s not required for webrtcbin usage.
