Bug Description

[ Description ]

We should keep up with GStreamer's bugfix releases in the 1.16 series that 20.04 shipped with.

[ QA and testing ]

Play a range of videos in Totem. Play a range of audio tracks in Rhythmbox. Try to stream audio and/or video. Try to install a missing codec.

In all cases, make sure that everything which worked before still works.

[ Regression potential ]

If one of the fixes is bad then it might break video or audio playback, or could crash any application that tries to use gstreamer.

-------------------------------------------

On ubuntu-20.04 "apt-get" default installs gstreamer version 1.16.2, though gstreamer has subsequent minor version gst-1.16.3 with fixes incorporated.

Hence, Ideally default gstreamer-1.16 minor version support with ubuntu-20.04 should be upgraded to use gstreamer version 1.16.3

I tested a variety of audio/video formats (x264, x265, MP4, MKV, flac, MP3, etc.) as well as streaming audio/video and everything seems to work as intended with no issues.

Tested on a Focal VM with the latest updates including this patch.

  * Updated to upstream 1.16.3 (LP: #1962135)
    - Remove debian/patches/pcfile-requires-plugins-good (upstreamed)
    - Updated gstreamer dependencies to 1.16.3
  * Added 04_openexr_remove_override.patch which disables the C++ standard
    override check for some versions of openexr. Newer versions in focal have
    backported security patches which introduce a requirement for compiling
    with -std=c++11, rendering this check obsolete and causing a compile
    failure.
