<div>The core won't handle python elements by itself. The trick is that there is a python plugin that works as a python element loader that will do the job. It didn't work out of the box for me, here's what I did: 1) Check if it isn't working already ~# gst-inspect python No such element or plugin 'python' 2) Inspect the library explicitely to see what the problem may be. I bet you already have this lib installed, if not, I'm pretty sure it comes in python-gst ~# gst-inspect /usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/<a href="http://libgstpython.so">libgstpython.so</a> ImportError: No module named pygtk 3) Extend python path with the missing pygtk module location. This may vary in your system. ~# export PYTHONPATH=/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ ~# gst-inspect /usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/<a href="http://libgstpython.so">libgstpython.so</a> Plugin Details: Name: python Description: loader for plugins written in python Filename: /usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/<a href="http://libgstpython.so">libgstpython.so</a> Version: <a href="tel:01022">0.10.22</a> License: LGPL Source module: gst-python Source release date: <a href="tel:20111029">2011-10-29</a> Binary package: GStreamer Python Bindings Origin URL: <a href="http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org">http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org</a> 0 features: 4) The plugin will likely continue to appear as unexistent because it has been blacklisted on the registry. Force registry regeneration. ~# gst-inspect python No such element or plugin 'python' ~# rm ~/.gstreamer-0.10/* ~# gst-inspect python Plugin Details: Name: python Description: loader for plugins written in python Filename: /usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/<a href="http://libgstpython.so">libgstpython.so</a> Version: <a href="tel:01022">0.10.22</a> License: LGPL Source module: gst-python Source release date: <a href="tel:20111029">2011-10-29</a> Binary package: GStreamer Python Bindings Origin URL: <a href="http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org">http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org</a> 0 features: 5) Now you may develop your element in python. There are a few examples online. Store them under /urs/lib/gstreamer-0.10/python/ and they should appear on the inspect. I don't know if this is supported yet on the 1.0 version.

This has some good info: <a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Novacut/GStreamer1.0">https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Novacut/GStreamer1.0</a> I could only come up with a single example of an element by searching for "Gst.Element.register": <a href="http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~jderose/+junk/gst-examples/view/head:/plugin-1.0">http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~jderose/+junk/gst-examples/view/head:/plugin-1.0</a> This asks exactly my question, but has no answer: <a href="http://stackoverflow.com/q/17969041/403491">http://stackoverflow.com/q/17969041/403491</a> So as I understand it I install PyGObject (<a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/pygobjectwin32">http://sourceforge.net/projects/pygobjectwin32</a>/), create my plugin as in the example above, but then what? Where do I put the py/pyc/pyo file? I can't find anything in GStreamer core about loading Python plugins, so there must be another plugin that then searches for and registers them. Thanks for any help you can provide. _______________________________________________ gstreamer-devel mailing list <a href="mailto:gstreamer-devel@lists.freedesktop.org">gstreamer-devel@lists.freedesktop.org</a> <a href="http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/gstreamer-devel">http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/gstreamer-devel</a>
