Re: Are there Perl bindings for gstreamer-1.0?



Hi Terrence,

Do you have any idea how to do a video-overlay using this mechanism?

I suspect that I have to wrap a different package, but I have no idea which one.

I guess this is why Torsten wrapped the original packages.  It doesn't seem that you can have 2 lots of

    Glib::Object::Introspection->invoke ($_GST_BASENAME, undef, 'init', undef);

in one module, so that'2 why we have GStreamer.pm and GStreamer::GConf.pm and so on.

And at that point you might as well put them on CPAN.

So I'm a bit lost with the videooverlay, because I don't know what package to wrap.

What do you think?

Regards

Steve

I did a little more playing around with this...

Here's my working example:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;

use Glib;
use Gtk3 -init;

Gst::init();

my $play = Gst::ElementFactory->new("playbin","play");
my $fn = "http://www.csoft.co.uk/video/original/earth.avi";
$play->set_uri($fn);
$play->set_state('playing');
my $bus = $play->get_bus;
my $int = $bus->add_watch(\&my_callback);

Gtk3::main;

sub my_callback
{
    my ($bus, $message) = @_;

    if ($message->type =~ /error/)
    {
        warn "error\n";
        Gtk3->main_quit;
        exit;
    }
    elsif ($message->type =~ /eos/)
    {
        warn "end\n";
        Gtk3->main_quit;
        exit;
    }
   
    return 1;
}

Accomplished by placing the following in my Gtk3.pm file (in their respective portions of the file, left to the reader):

my $_GST_BASENAME = 'Gst';
my $_GST_VERSION = '1.0';
my $_GST_PACKAGE = 'Gst';


  Glib::Object::Introspection->setup (
    basename => $_GST_BASENAME,
    version => $_GST_VERSION,
    package => $_GST_PACKAGE);


sub Gst::init {
    Glib::Object::Introspection->invoke ($_GST_BASENAME, undef, 'init', undef);
}

sub Gst::ElementFactory::new
{
    my ($self,$factory_name,$name) = @_;
   
    my $e = Gst::ElementFactory::make($factory_name,$name);
    my $package = 'Gst::Element';
    return bless $e, $package;
}
sub Gst::Element::set_uri
{
    my ($self,$uri) = @_;
   
    Glib::Object::set($self,'uri' => $uri);
}
sub Gst::Bus::add_watch
{
    my ($self,$callback,$data) = @_;
   
    my $int = Glib::Object::Introspection->invoke ('Gst', 'Bus', 'add_watch',$self,0,$callback,$data);
   
    return($int);
}

Not sure if that's of use to anyone, but, hey, it works :)

I knew nothing about GStreamer a couple hours ago, but, since I have had a lot of dealings with perl/introspection of late, I went ahead and did some digging. Compiled with gstreamer-1.2.4.

So, first off, instead of: my $play = GStreamer::ElementFactory -> make("playbin", "play");
It should be: my $play = GStreamer::ElementFactory::make("playbin", "play");

Due to the class-static stuff.

I was, however, running into the same issue. I first verified that this works:

my $fake_factory = Glib::Object::Introspection->invoke ('Gst', 'ElementFactory', 'find', 'fakesrc');
my $fake_element = GStreamer::ElementFactory::create($fake_factory,"source");

After attempting a find on playbin, it would seem that the plugin simply isn't installed as the fakesrc is working. Looking at: plugins/elements/, I only see a handful of source files; playbin not being one of them.

That's when I remembered seeing a number of plugin subdirectories in http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/src/.

It looks like gst-plugins-base provides playbin. After installing, now the aforementioned playbin call returns correctly.

Hi Guys,

Well actually, it's amazing.  I've just been trying it.

It's not so easy to install you have to install libgirepository1.0-dev first (apt-get install libgirepository1.0-dev).

This code:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
    use strict;

    use Glib::Object::Introspection;
    Glib::Object::Introspection->setup (basename => 'Gst', version => '1.0', package => 'GStreamer');
    my @version=();
    @version = GStreamer::version();
    print "This program is linked against GStreamer @version\n";
    my $i = GStreamer::init ([$0, @ARGV]);

Gave me "This program is linked against GStreamer 1 2 3 0".

However, when I tried:

    my $play = GStreamer::ElementFactory -> make("playbin", "play");

I get:

*** GStreamer::ElementFactory::make: passed too many parameters (expected 2, got 3); ignoring excess at ~/test_code/GStreamer_test_4.pl line 129.

When I drop the final parameter, I get an empty string passed in $play.

Any ideas?

Regards

Steve.
