Hi Guys,

I'm having difficulty rendering a GStreamer video onto a wxPerl panel.

According to the doc it should be something like this:

my $video_panel=Wx::Panel->new($i_main_menu, wxID_ANY, wxDefaultPositi
+on, [800,600],);

(... lots of code goes here and the full executable version is here:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/23547043/gtk-window-pointer-for-a-wxpanel-to-render-a-gstreamer-video
)

my $g_window = $video_panel->GetHandle;
$message->src->set_window_handle($g_window);

But I don't get a pointer from GetHandle just an integer as explained here (from the doc): 
    vir tual WXWidget wxWindow::GetHandle()  const

        Returns the platform-specific handle of the physical window.
        Cast it to an appropriate handle, such as HWND for Windows,
        Widget for Motif or GtkWidget for GTK.
        wxPerl Note: This method will return an integer in wxPerl.

and then it errors like this: 
The program 'GStreamer_test_6.pl' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)'.
   (Details: serial 17 error_code 3 request_code 3 minor_code 0)
   (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronousl
+y;
    that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
    To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
    option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
    backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() 
function.)

I guess I need to convert the integer to some sort of pointer object that GStreamer recognises.

Does anyone have any idea what the correct code should look like?

Regards

Steve.
