Re: [gst-devel] location of plugins on a windows system...

Sure, just use putenv or g_setenv to set this environment variable
programmatically only for your application.
By this way, you can install a private copy of gstreamer only with the
libraries and plugins you need.

Is there any way to set the plugin path programmatically (other than =
setting
the environment variable programmatically :-).

You should check that GST_PLUGIN_PATH is well defined in your =
environment
variables.

If yes, you should check that it=92s accessible from your app by getting =
it
with getenv(=93GST_PLUGIN_PATH=94).

Hi all,

I am new to gstreamer and I am running into something simple that I =
can=92t
seem to fix.

I=92ve got a very tiny app:

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
    gst_init(NULL, NULL);

    guint nMajor(0), nMinor(0), nMicro(0), nNano(0);
    gst_version(&nMajor, &nMinor, &nMicro, &nNano);

    GMainLoop* loop(NULL);
    loop =3D g_main_loop_new(NULL, FALSE);

    GstElement* play =3D gst_element_factory_make("playbin", "play");
    g_object_set (G_OBJECT (play), "uri", "C:\\test.mp3", NULL);

    ....

    return 0;
}

play is NULL.

That=92s because it can=92t find the libgstplaybin.dll in C:\Program
Files\Common Files\GStreamer\0.10\lib\gstreamer-0.10.

If I CD to C:\Program Files\Common Files\GStreamer\0.10\bin and run
gst-launch-0.10.exe playbin uri=3Dfile://C:\\test.mp3

This works great.  Plays the file and everything.  I think what=92s =
happening
is that within my app (which is in a totally different directory), it =
can=92t
find that DLL, and so it can=92t create the =93playbin=94 element.  I =
tried
copying those DLLs into my application/debug directory but it didn=92t =
help,
that kept returning NULL.

Any help would be great, thanks!
