Hey people, I'm working on a small webcam-streaming application which has to run on windows(is working with dshow) and linux(not started yet). I don't wanna use DShow for the Win32 part anymore, so I searched the web and found the win32-version of gstreamer on http://mukoli.free.fr/gstreamer Does this version support webcams on windows ?? And where should I start. At present, I'm reading the documentation but didn't find any information regarding to reading from a webcam.... Regards and bye, Alexander |

So in order to support webcams under Windows, you'll need to write a directshow wrapper. anyway, we've had quite a few win32 people interested already, but there is no directshow wrapper for GStreamer yet, so native video output, webcams, tv cards, audiocards etc. don't work yet.

I'm not a DShow guru, but everyone has to start somewhere, right ?? ;) Where would I have to start digging in gstreamer ?? And are there any other people who are working on a DSHOW implementation ?? Hmm... if gstreamer doesn't support DSHOW at present, then what does it use for streaming, playback etc ?? Bye, Alex |

Hi Alexander, The windows port lack any plugins for hardware interaction currently. Which means it can do transcoding etc., but not grab webcam or soundcard input (or output to soundcard etc.). Such plugins are planed, but the main developer of the Windows port Steve Lhomme has been busy with other stuff lately. If you would be interesting in writing such plugins both we and Steve would be very happy of course.
