I was using a relative filepath instead of an absolute one for the uri property. Now I am getting a different error: "Could not determine type of stream" This is the debug output: :00:00.036578746  5554  0x836ba28 WARN      GST_PLUGIN_LOADING

It works perfectly fine on my laptop but when I move it to my target hardware I am having some problems. I have the error "could not open resource for reading" Is there anyway I can tell what resource this is referring to? Could this simply be a permissions error on a file or something more hardware related. Thanks, -- Bram Cymet Software Developer Canadian Bank Note Co. Ltd.
