GStreamer on Windows

Hi All,

Does any one know the process of porting GStreamer to Windows, or if there's
a GStreamer based player development project or attempts on Windows?

I want to write a plugin for GStreamer and wish it can be used on Windows.

Thanks,
Alex

Re: GStreamer on Windows

Alex,
I've created an (almost) complete Visual Studio solution to build
Gstreamer natively on Windows using MSVC. The only exception is the
ffmpeg plugin because it uses to many GCC extensions. So in order to
build the ffmpeg plugin you need gcc.
The solution is not up to date with the latest Gstreamer GIT. It's based
on version 0.10.14 (CVS).
If you are interested drop me a note and I will send you the stuff.

If you are looking for a Windows GStreamer installer take a look at
GStreamer-Winbuilds (http://www.gstreamer-winbuild.ylatuya.es).
I actually use GStreamer for a cross-platform multimedia player in
LongoMatch (www.ylatuya.es)

Re: GStreamer on Windows

In reply to this post by Carsten-17

I think there are plenty of different Windows build strategies for
GStreamer.

I know we have one here at Fluendo for our codecs and for Elisa media
center, Songbird probably have their own, Collabora has yet another and
there are probably many that I don't know about which we discover today
in that thread.

Anyway as the packaging philosophy on Windows feels more like
applications are self contained I'm not sure it makes sense to try and
have a system wide install of GStreamer with a common build system.

Although it makes sense to drop Fluendo codecs in
~/.gstreamer-0.10/plugins if they are compiled with an old enough
GStreamer to support all self contained applications (with GStreamer
inside) on the machine.

Feedback welcome.

I agree with the system wide install, I actually prefer to deploy
GStreamer alongside with my application rather than using the
GStreamer-Winbuild installer for example. But I think there should be
a common build system, or at least, an extensible one to start with.
For Fluendo it may sounds easy to build GStreamer, because you have a
build system which is already there, but for those developers that
want to start a project based on GStreamer on Windows it's not that
easy because it's quite hard to compile GStreamer, mostly because of
the external dependencies.
If you have to decide, for example, between DirectShow, VLC or
GStreamer to start a multimedia project on Windows, would you trust on
a project that says: "GStreamer is cross-platform but we don't provide
Windows binaries...You have to compile everything by your own and we
don't even know which is the best method"?
I really think the not having a common build system an a release of
Windows pre-compiled binaries is kind of bad for GStreamer.

Re: GStreamer on Windows

Hi,
Well one thing that has been loosely discussed is looking into switching
to cmake, which is supposed to be able to generate visual studio files
in addition to Unix makefiles. In the wider GStreamer family the
telepathy-gabble project is in the process of migrating to cmake, so at
least personally I am watching that project to see how well it works out
and if it works well it could be something for GStreamer to move to as
well.

It wouldn't surprise me if this also ends up being a topic at the
GStreamer summit held during the Gran Canaria desktop summit this year.

Hi,

I agree with Andoni Morales.
A common build system for gstreamer on windows is not destinated to a profesional use.
As far I am concerned, at home I am using the installer (http://www.gstreamer-winbuild.ylatuya.es/doku.php?id=download). I can experiment gstreamer, develop plugins, and link my apps with gstreamer.
But at the office we are compiling gstreamer on windows from scratch because we want to have the control on the compiler, and we can change anything we want in the source code, and we can have just the plugins we need. And several other reasons.

I think it's the same thing on linux, for a profesional use, compagnies are compiling gstreamer them self.
For home (public) usage, people are just doing apt-get install gstreamer.

Maybe an "installer" is too much, but for home usage we still need binaries and dev packages.

Re: GStreamer on Windows

I agree with you guys. Somehow the VCPROJ that we created are 50% of
that solution but there's still a need for something that would pull the
dependencies and provides VCPROJ for them as well (somehow what oabuild
does).

We could try to setup a build server that would provide binaries dlls of
GStreamer core, base, good together with an installer and some set of
dependencies.

Hard to figure out what's really needed though.

As Christian proposed the GStreamer get together at Guadec might be a
good opportunity to discuss that around some cervezas :)

Cheers,

Julien Moutte,
FLUENDO S.A.

That is most of the work that I have been doing with GStreamer
WinBuild, and part of the work that I proposed as a GSoC project. I
think I am actually able to create some kind of script (or whatever
does the same job) to provide a build environment with all the
external dependencies needed to build GStreamer on Windows.
I also proposed to migrate all that VCPROJ to Code::Blocks, because it
is free software and because it can use several toolchains to make the
build. As Julien Isorce said, CMake would be another option as it can
generate Visual Studio projects, Xcode projects and CodeBlocks
projects files.

Re: GStreamer on Windows

From experience I can say that the hardest part of compiling GSteamer
on Windows with the MSVC toolchain is to compile the dependent libraries.
Especially liboil since it uses gnu binutils to generate code. So it
would be a good exercise to create a cmake wrapper for this lib just to
see if it can be done. :)

Thanks, Andoni. What should I do if I want my plugin to be used by LongoMatch?

PS: I have not begin to write the plugin, :).

If you are looking for a Windows GStreamer installer take a look at
GStreamer-Winbuilds (http://www.gstreamer-winbuild.ylatuya.es).
I actually use GStreamer for a cross-platform multimedia player in
LongoMatch (www.ylatuya.es)

Thanks for your kindness, Carsten. I just want to know if there are GStreamer

based players on Windows. I want my plugin to be used on Windows, and

Unix-like OS.

Alex,
I've created an (almost) complete Visual Studio solution to build

ffmpeg plugin because it uses to many GCC extensions. So in order to
build the ffmpeg plugin you need gcc.
The solution is not up to date with the latest Gstreamer GIT. It's based
on version 0.10.14 (CVS).
If you are interested drop me a note and I will send you the stuff.

Re: GStreamer on Windows

In reply to this post by Julien Moutte-2

HI Julien, are you a developer of Elisa? I installed Elisa on my desktop (WindXP).

But can not run the program. It says my graphical card is not power enough to

support it or lack of graphical driver to run it correctly.

Seems Elisa and Songbird use different ways to build GStreamer for Windows.

BTW, I saw an empty directory plungins/vlcmodules under Songbird installation

path.

I know we have one here at Fluendo for our codecs and for Elisa media
center, Songbird probably have their own, Collabora has yet another and
there are probably many that I don't know about which we discover today
in that thread.

Anyway as the packaging philosophy on Windows feels more like
applications are self contained I'm not sure it makes sense to try and
have a system wide install of GStreamer with a common build system.

Although it makes sense to drop Fluendo codecs in
~/.gstreamer-0.10/plugins if they are compiled with an old enough
GStreamer to support all self contained applications (with GStreamer
inside) on the machine.

Feedback welcome.

What version is old enough?

Most likely, yes. There's no unified way to do it. But SongBird's
build system is documented AFAIK.

Yes, they were previously using vlc on some systems before switching
to GStreamer. I wouldn't worry about that.

You can't use any plugin with LongoMatch. LongoMatch is just an
example of cross-platform player based on GStreamer.

Imho, Windows developpers use mostly Visual Studio, so using what is
curently in the win32/ subdir is good enough. It's just a matter of
maintaining the vcproj file, having a good batch script to launch
everything automatically (we have that in the EFL, if you want, you can
look at it) and an installer for 3rd party libs. And finally, a script for
an installer (like NSIS) for the gstreamer packages. So most everything
can be automated, I think.

Re: GStreamer on Windows

I tend to agree. A good VCPROJ and some global solution file holding all
the dependencies will probably be good enough for most people.

This also integrates pretty well with existing Windows developers workflow.

I think the OABUILD approach is very close to that and that's what we
use (somehow modified) to build Elisa and Fluendo codecs.

I will check what is the version of GStreamer core we depend on for our
codecs.

Speex on Windows

In reply to this post by Vincent Torri

Hi,
I'm trying to use the Speex plugin but there is a bug.

When I try that I have an exception (on Windows) :

gst-launch-0.10.exe --gst-debug-level=2 audiotestsrc num-buffers=100 !
audioconvert ! audioresample ! audio/x-raw-int, rate=16000 ! speexenc !
oggmux ! filesink location=beep.ogg

I take a look at the code and the exception occur at this line in
speexenc.c :

speex_init_header (&enc->header, enc->rate, 1, enc->speex_mode);

I don't understand why it keep crashing because the rate is good.

Any idea ?

liboil has been building with MSVC as part of OAH Build for over a month now:
https://code.launchpad.net/~oah-dev/oah/liboil

Haven't yet enabled the optimized code paths though, but that's just
laziness on my part. :)
