Gstreamer installation
|
|
**********************
|
|
|
|
To use the `Gstreamer <http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/>`_ backend, you first
|
|
need to install Gstreamer and its Python bindings.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Installing Gstreamer on Linux
|
|
=============================
|
|
|
|
Gstreamer is packaged for most popular Linux distributions. If you use
|
|
Debian/Ubuntu you can install Gstreamer with Aptitude::
|
|
|
|
sudo aptitude install python-gst0.10 gstreamer0.10-plugins-good \
|
|
gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly
|
|
|
|
|
|
Installing Gstreamer on OS X
|
|
============================
|
|
|
|
To install Gstreamer on OS X using Homebrew::
|
|
|
|
brew install gst-python gst-plugins-good gst-plugins-ugly
|
|
|
|
To install Gstreamer on OS X using MacPorts::
|
|
|
|
sudo port install py26-gst-python gstreamer-plugins-good \
|
|
gstreamer-plugins-ugly
|
|
|
|
|
|
Testing the installation
|
|
========================
|
|
|
|
If you now run the ``gst-inspect-0.10`` command (the version number may vary),
|
|
you should see a long listing of installed plugins, ending in a summary line::
|
|
|
|
$ gst-inspect-0.10
|
|
... long list of installed plugins ...
|
|
Total count: 218 plugins (1 blacklist entry not shown), 1031 features
