Hi Guys,

I'm trying to get the GStreamer Perl api working on Linux. Does anybody have it working? The core GStreamer module is currently working on my installation, which I can test through wxMediaCtrl, but wx has some bugs which I'm hoping to avoid by going straight to GStreamer. I have installed the api from cpan and I'm running the 'synopsis' from the top of the doc.

I get the following error message: Stream contains no data. at /home/image/Documents/Endoscopia/GStreamer_Demo.pl line 28.

Here is the code itself. The print statements give 1 (playable) and 010280 (version), respectively.

regards

Steve 

#!/usr/bin/perl
    use strict;
    use warnings;
    use Glib qw(TRUE FALSE);

    use GStreamer -init;

    my $loop = Glib::MainLoop -> new();
    print GStreamer->init_check, "\n";
    print GStreamer->version, "\n";

# set up
    my $play = GStreamer::ElementFactory -> make("playbin", "play");
    $play -> set(uri => Glib::filename_to_uri "/home/image/Documents/E
+ndoscopia/media/a_100_23_1.avi", "localhost");
    $play -> get_bus() -> add_watch(\&my_bus_callback, $loop);
    $play -> set_state("playing");

# run
    $loop -> run();

# clean up
    $play -> set_state("null");

sub my_bus_callback {
    my ($bus, $message, $loop) = @_;

    if ($message -> type & "error") {
        warn $message -> error;
        $loop -> quit();
    }

    elsif ($message -> type & "eos") {
        $loop -> quit();
    }

# remove message from the queue
    return TRUE;
}
