Ship GStreamer with your application

[vft...@gmail.com]

Hi everyone,

The README says:

It is possible to ship GStreamer with your application should you not wish your users to have to install it separately.

But how can I do that? I couldn't find any documentation regarding this subject

Thanks!

After a bunch of research, I currently have GStreamer libraries in my project root folder and I'm setting jna.library.path to that.

I also run into the issue No such Gstreamer factory which I think I solved by adding the gst-plugins folders to Gst.init args --gst-plugin-path.

Now I'm getting arch: /usr/local/Cellar/gstreamer/1.14.0_1/libexec/gstreamer-1.0/gst-plugin-scanner isn't executable and I'm not sure if I'm on the right path...

Any help is welcome

Regards

Hi,

What OS are you on?

You can set the plugin folder as an ENV variable.  We should map GLib's support for this, but at the moment you can use JNA Platform.

There is also a mapping to the Registry - Registry.get().scanPath() should hopefully work.

Best wishes,

Neil

Hi! 

I'm using macOS High Sierra, Version 10.13.3.

So, if I understood correctly, I should be able to add GStreamer to my project with something like this:

System.setProperty("jna.library.path", "gstreamer/1.14.0_1/lib");

And, instead of using the --gst-plugin-path I should do something like this?

Registry.get().scanPath("gstreamer/1.14.0_1/lib:gstreamer/1.14.0_1/libexec:gst-plugins-bad/1.14.0_1/lib:gst-plugins-base/1.14.0_1/lib:gst-plugins-good/1.14.0_1/lib");

Sorry, I'm still new to this but I really appreciate your help!
Regards

OK, make sure you've looked at this -

https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/documentation/deploying/mac-osx.html#relocation-of-gstreamer-in-os-x

There's also info on env variables there - with those or the registry scanPath option I think you'll need absolute paths.

Best wishes,

Neil

Thanks Neil, this helped a lot too: https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/documentation/deploying/multiplatform-using-cerbero.html

But I ended up using a Docker container for my use case

Hi, 

Thanks. Yes one of the problems is that different use cases call for different approaches, but we should definitely try and document some options. If you feel like writing a quick wiki page on what you've done, let me know! :-) Or a blog post we can link to. 

Best wishes, 

Neil

Hi Neil,

I wouldn't mind writing a wiki page, where I can do that?

Also, I would recommend adding this link to the README: https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/documentation/deploying/index.html

In my case, I wanted to use GStreamer in Jenkins, but once I realized it wouldn't be possible to ship GStreamer without an installer or something, I just created a Docker container with Ubuntu and GStreamer to use as a Jenkins Pipeline Agent

Assuming you have a GitHub account, you should be able to add a page at https://github.com/gstreamer-java/gst1-java-core/wiki There aren't any yet!

Also, I would recommend adding this link to the README: https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/documentation/deploying/index.html

Likewise, a PR to add this would be great.

Best wishes,

Neil
