GStreamer 1.2.1, vs2013, cinder 0.8.5 and a 'hello world'

[Gordon Nickel]

Sounds like you need to set the GST_PLUGIN_PATH to the libs/gstreamer-1.0 directory in your gstreamer install. 

Getting started on windows is tough - there's a lot of scattered tutorials out there that apply to different versions. Search for gstreamer-cinder integrations on google, there's a few that exist that work for general playback and could be extended for other uses.  (when I'm not on mobile I can link one)

I feel that the Gstreamer community and devel support is strong enough to handle some soft, polite and appreciative feedback in the form of 'I often feel pretty confused as to just getting the basics with GStreamer to run in Windows.'. For example, I can only find some semi-complete guides that involve GStreamer 0.10 which - as I understand it - is long past its due. If I get enough spare time, I could write a short guide I suppose.

I've included the 'gstreamer-1.0.props' in my debug/release version, and this clearly isn't enough. The older guide I found for Gstreamer 0.10 also recommended including the '%GSTREAMER_SDK_ROOT_X86%\bin' in my Windows %PATH%.
