Running GStreamer on on Windows 10 Secure Host Baseline (SHB) with an Host-Based Security System (HBSS)

[Yurkanin, David]

HELLO,
I am trying to run GStreamer v1.0 on a workstation with Windows 10 Secure Host Baseline (SHB) with an Host-Based Security System (HBSS).  I have found that the HBSS prevents loading of any dll from outside the current directory in which an .exe is being run ( the .exe is run from a whitelisted directory from a console window).

Note that my .exe using GStreamer pipelines/rtsp runs fine on a regular Windows 10 workstation with admin credentials.

So I have many of the .dlls copied into the .exe directory as follows:


06/02/2021  05:38 AM         1,466,368 gio-2.0-0.dll

12/10/2019  12:59 PM           422,912 glew32.dll

06/02/2021  05:38 AM           289,280 gobject-2.0-0.dll

06/02/2021  05:59 AM           147,456 gstrtp-1.0-0.dll

06/02/2021  05:59 AM           123,392 gstrtsp-1.0-0.dll

06/02/2021  06:07 AM           368,128 gstrtspserver-1.0-0.dll

06/02/2021  05:59 AM            88,576 gstsdp-1.0-0.dll

06/02/2021  05:59 AM           231,424 gsttag-1.0-0.dll

06/02/2021  05:59 AM           710,144 gstvideo-1.0-0.dll



With these dlls I can run my app that uses a GStreamer pipeline for capturing camera video (H264 decoding) and also using the GStreamer rtsp server code to output a video stream, but I still was getting errors trying to load dlls. So I assume GStreamer loads dlls when a particular library element needs it.


When I set the local PATH variable and GST_PLUGIN_PATH variables in a console window running my .exe I can get some functionality working (like the rtsp media_configure() and need_data() method threads) but not all of it (a need_data() argument is a consistent goofy address.  Below is an example of some of the errors:

So my question is there a complete list of what dlls GStreamer needs to load and from what expected paths? Has anyone out there had this issue and tried to solve it without admin credentials?
