is this a kind of demo for gstreamer integration? it seems not to run in latest alpha. i followed the readme and tried the birds mp4 from the vvvv assets. renderer is black, no texture

Running HowTO Play a video file returns an immediate error:

Error: The type initializer for 'VL.Lib.GStreamer.Player' threw an exception.

I tried changing the gstreamer installation but it doesn't seem to make a difference.

I need to use a rtsp source in gamma and unfortunately the current vl.MediaFoundation can't do this. Is there any possibility of Gstreamer being modified to work with Gamma 2021?

Atthe moment using gamma 2021.7 and creating a player node in VL.GStreamer with https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/data/pkg/windows/1.16.2/gstreamer-1.0-mingw-x86_64-1.16.2.msi causes Gamma to crash hard without an error message.

I hope a solution can be found.

All the best, H

Should be possible once 1.13.1 gets release - see https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=783581

I would like to play video and audio together from a single file. This may not be immediately possible but is there a way to access the audio stream to use in an external process (e.g. VL.Audio)?

• let video play to end
• then toggle from play to pause
