AC, i've got it to work on Leopard 10.5.2 too.

In fact the installation in pretty simple, it just takes time to download the plugins with Macports.

Here is how i did:

- Download and install macports (http://www.macports.org)

- Follow the steps to check if your installation is ok (https://weblion.psu.edu/trac/weblion/wiki/MacPorts).

- Open a terminal and type the following commands:
(install them one by one in the same order as below)

- Before installing the plugins you must replace all the licence by license in the dist.py (make a backup) file located here
/opt/local/lib/python2.5/distutils/
otherwise you'll get an error when installing.
Code:

/opt/local/lib/python2.5/distutils/dist.py:247: UserWarning: 'licence' distribution option is deprecated; use 'license' 

Don't forget to restore dist.py after installing.

Code:

sudo port install gstreamer 

Code:

sudo port install gst-ffmpeg 

Code:

sudo port install gst-plugins-base 

Code:

sudo port install gst-plugins-good 

Code:

sudo port install gst-plugins-bad 

Code:

sudo port install gst-plugins-ugly 

(if you've got a problem/error with some plugins, just continue and at the end of all the commands restart the commands where you had the errors. It will finally install all.

Once finished, to make sure everything is well installed, just retype the commands again and you should see a message similar like this one:
(xxxx = base, good, bad, ugly and also ffmpeg)

Code:

Skipping org.macports.activate (gst-plugins-xxxx ) since this port is already active
--->  Cleaning gst-plugins-xxxx 

Now you just need to copy the gsvideo library in processing library folder and open one of the Movie example (Video Capture doesn't seem to work yet).

You can now play movies, it supports so many different codecs including flash movies with sound (FLV) !

The best result in term of speed is when using JAVA2D as renderer.
P3D is a little choppy and has this annoying diagonal sliced screen effect.

Forget about OPENGL is it simply too slow.

The playback performances are much better than the FasterMovie solution.

I tried to use the Video Capture but the only thing i get is this error:

Code:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: No such Gstreamer factory: qtwrappersrc 

Now i just hope the gsvideo Capture for OS X will come soon

Cheers !

Another succesfull OSX install on a 10.5.2 imac (leopard)

1. Install Xcode -> http://developer.apple.com/tools/download/

2. Install Macports -> http://www.macports.org/install.php

3. Edit path in '.profile' for macports -> https://weblion.psu.edu/trac/weblion/wiki/MacPorts

4. Open Terminal and install gstreamer via macports -> http://gstreamer.darwinports.com/

5. Download gsvideo lib for processing -> https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=225389

Thanks a lot for this lib!

Hm, its not working on my powerbook with 10.4.11 (tiger) ?

Can we find a faster solution to pass huge videos as a background video without all the PImage stuff? via glpixeldraw/opengl or something.
Videos 1280x720 are still not fluid on a 2.4 GHz Intel mac.

greetings ascorbin

Wait a second... I just remembered that you can actually load very large video files with the current version of the glgraphics library, which you can download from here:

http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=225391

Look at the MovieFilter example, where the video buffer is directly transferred into an opengl texture by the following function:

tex0.putPixelsIntoTexture(movie);

where tex0 is a GLTexture object. I've been able to load and play HD video files at smooth framerates.

BTW

In addition to all the warnings in PDE 0148 I get a truly annoying pop-up that says "This application has failed to start because libpng13.dll was not found..."

I think it's referring to this warning:
** (java.exe:3788): WARNING **: Failed to load plugin 'C:\Program Files\Common Files\GStreamer\0.10\lib\gstreamer-0.10/libgstpng.dll': The specified module could not be found.

Which is strange because that file does exist at that location. Perhaps it's related to the '/' vs '\' (platform issue?)

So strange... I cant get it to go away :/

I'm guessing you export to application doesn't carry through for you right?

Bundling GStreamer would be key :/

It's probably completely naive to think about bundling all the dlls and jnilib files in a jar right?

Ok... figured out that the application export issue pertains to the library looking in the "data" folder instead of the "data" folder inside the jar.

It works fine if I recreate the data folder relative to the executable (although it seems to crash on exit each time).

Hi,

I never seen this error...

It seems that it doesn't recognize the codec of the video file.

Did you install all the gstreamer packages for windows (gstreamer, gst-plugins-base, gst-plugins-good, gst-plugins-bad, gst-plugins-ugly and gst-plugins-ffmpeg)?

Code:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: No such Gstreamer factory: qtwrappersrc


Now i just hope the gsvideo Capture for OS X will come soon  

Cheers !

yes on my mac this is the only one problem
