Gstreamer on Windows - Python26.dll missing

Administrator

Hi All,

I just attempted to install the latest gstreamer from OSSBuilds.  Install was easy enough.

Next I tried a plain old gst-launch at a command prompt.  I was told that the program can't find python26.dll.

So I went to the python site and had the choice of downloading 2.7 or 3.?.  I wen't for 2.7.

Gst-launch still complains about Python26.

So, first, what is the problem?  DO I reallyo need a specific release of PythonXX.dll?

Does the Windows GST really need all of Python, or just one dll?  Can I recover all that disk space I wated on Python 2.7?  I speak no Python though thanks to gstreamer examples I've read a lot of it.

Thanks in Advance,

Wes Miller

RE: Gstreamer on Windows - Python26.dll missing

The problem is that python in the 2.x period required linking against a specific library and so you see the problem of needing to build against multiple python libraries under Windows since you never know what the user may or may not have installed.

I believe there’s 2.7 support in the repo. now – it just hasn’t made it into a release.

Windows doesn’t need python at all – that’s strictly for python bindings. I don’t believe the normal installer includes the python bindings – you have to download the SDK for that. And the SDK installer has feature selection where you can opt out of installing the python bindings. I’d just reinstall the SDK without the python bindings and you should be good to go.

It's running GST-launch that causes the errors. Does IT need Python. Or is it just the bindings?

I've tried building using MingW and never could get it to work. WAAAAYYYYY to difficult to install.

Re: Gstreamer on Windows - Python26.dll missing

Hi

Just install python 2.6 from python website then be sure to have C:\Python26 (by default) in the windows path...

I do that with ossbuild and have no problems ... don t know if ossbuild has a 2.7 compatible installer

Good luck

No it doesn't need python at all. The SDK installs additional plugins that
are used for creating python plugins. Remove the SDK completely and re-run
gst-launch and it should work fine (no errors). If you still get errors, go
into the ossbuild installation directory, find the plugins, and just delete
the python plugins. Then go into your home directory and delete the gst
registry (e.g. C:\Users\<Username>\.gstreamer-0.10\registry.i686.bin) and
re-run gst-launch. Things should be cleared up now. :D
