[gst-devel] Using qtwrapper with flip4mac

[Dres]

Hi all,

I have been trying to play back Windows Media content using gstreamer on the
Mac. I have installed the flip4mac decoders, which allow me to play back WMV
files using the QuickTime player.

I am particularly interested in flip4mac's ability to play back WMA Pro
(which is still missing in ffmpeg, should be added this summer though) and
VC1 for video. It also makes my application to no longer depend on ffmpeg,
which is desirable.

I took a closer look at the qtwrapper plugin and found that it seems to lack
any mappings for the various WM types. So I decided to give it a shot and
added WVC1 and WMA3 to "codecmapping.c". I then added code in
"imagedescription.c" as follows:

static ImageDescription *

image_description_for_WMVC1 (GstBuffer * buf)

{

  ImageDescription *desc = NULL;

  gpointer pos;


  desc = g_malloc0 (sizeof (ImageDescription) + GST_BUFFER_SIZE (buf));

  pos = (gpointer) ((gulong) desc + (gulong) sizeof (ImageDescription));


  desc->idSize = sizeof (ImageDescription) + GST_BUFFER_SIZE (buf);

  g_memmove (pos, GST_BUFFER_DATA (buf), GST_BUFFER_SIZE (buf));


  return desc;

}


I also updated the switch statement in the "
image_description_from_codec_data" function. "gst-inspect qtwrapper" would
confirm that WMA Pro and VC1 are now supported.

This doesn't seem to work right, "gst-launch" just crashes, here's the stack
trace:

I am suspecting that my changes above are not enough to make this work.

Can anyone point me in the right direction on this one?

Thanks,

Dres
