Gstreamer on Windows XP

Jeffrey Barish
I am porting my application to Windows XP.  The only thing that doesn't work
now is Gstreamer.  I get an ElementNotFoundError error message about
cdparanoiasrc.  I believe that cdparanoiasrc is in gst-base-plugins.  I
installed gst-plugins-base-0.10.17 using the Windows installer.  I also
installed gst-plugins-good-0.10.7 and gst-plugins-ugly-0.10.6.  I see a
bunch of dlls in c:\Program Files\Common Files\0.10\{bin,
lib\gstreamer-0.10}, but nothing that includes paranoia in the name.  I
presume that there is something wrong with my installation even though I
used the Windows installers.  Any suggestions?

There's nothing wrong here, it's just that cdparanoiasrc does not run
on windows - and so it's not included.

I don't know if there's an alternative cd-ripping plugin for windows.
If there is, you could use that. Otherwise, you will need to write
one.

Thank you for your reply, although the news is very disappointing.

I found some evidence of an attempt 2 years ago to port Gstreamer to Cygwin,
but it looks as if that effort aborted.  As cdparanoia will run under
Cygwin, such a port would solve the Windows problem.  Does anyone know the
current status of a Cygwin port?

It would be helpful if statements that the project has ports to Windows of
base releases (such as the one on this page:
http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/download/) included the qualification that
the port does not include cdparanoiasrc.

The libcdio-based cdiocddasrc in gst-plugins-good should work on windows
(not ideal for ripping though, since it doesn't any kind of
sophisticated error correction). However, you might be able to link
cdparanoiasrc in -base against the libcdio-based cdparanoia that's
included in libcdio. I think it provides an API compatible wrapper.
(Mind you, libcdio is GPL not LGPL though.)

 Cheers

My current thought is that I will execute a command from my program that
runs cdparanoia and pipes its output to an encoder.  I would have preferred
to use GStreamer, though.

Re: Gstreamer on Windows XP

Mark Nauwelaerts-2
On the "Cygwin port":
porting is a bit of a relative term here, at least from GStreamer perspective,
since the Cygwin layer/libs take care of the porting (mostly), and present a
"normal" Unix/POSIX like environment to upper level.

In any case, last time I tried it (1 year ago though), GStreamer core and many
many elements compiled and ran cleanly out-of-the-box on Cygwin (of course in as
far as supporting libraries were available for Cygwin).  Can't speak to now
(though would assume so), nor for all elements.

Regards,
Mark.

Then I encourrage you to give a try to what tim suggested to you. Those things
don't happen on its own :)
