GSVideo on a Mac (Read 1335 times)

GSVideo on a Mac
Jan 8th, 2010, 10:32am  
Hi all, just had a "bug" of mine knocked down by fry ... and now I need to jump the hurdle of installing GSVideo on my Mac.  

I cannot use sudo on this particular unit, so it is posing a challenge.

I installed GSVideo 0.4.6, because it seemed easier, and I could do all of the steps without extra administrative support.  Great.  But, my
Invalid memory access of location b100e848 eip=92f8fdc1
error has not gone away.  So, while I am getting no other errors that tell me that my video is all wrong, or that my GSVideo is not installed properly, or not being used, I am not getting the results I need either.

I am not running QT movies, by the way.  Just drawn animation from Processing.

Any hints from experienced hands on the board?

Mac 10.5.5, Processing 1.09, GSVideo 0.4.6

thanks

hi, so you need gsvideo to generate a video file from the frames rendered by processing?

Thanks so much for responding.

No, actually.  I was informed by fry that I need it (and the gstreamer) to display simple drawn animation, period.  But, installing the gstreamer components using sudo is not possible on my unit at this time.  This thread is in response to bug report 1431.

I can't post the direct link.  I am still a n00b on the board.

I am not sure how to implement it at all.

I haven't managed to solve the installation issues of GSVideo on OSX yet. So you might want to try out the JMCVideo library, which is a good option for playback.

If you want to stick to GSVideo and don't have administrator access, all I can suggest at this point is the following:

1) grab the latest version of gsvideo:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/gsvideo/files/gsvideo/0.6/gsvideo-0.6-pre0.zip/...

and install in the libraries folder as usual.

2) download the zip file I made of the gstreamer binaries for osx

https://sourceforge.net/projects/gsvideo/files/gsvideo/0.5/GStreamer-MacBuild-0....

and uncompress somewhere in the hard drive.

3) grab the following startup script

https://sourceforge.net/projects/gsvideo/files/gsvideo/0.5/p5-gsvideo.sh/downloa...

First, make sure it is executable (open a terminal, change to the directory where you copied the script and run: "chmod +x p5-gsvideo.sh"). Also, edit the script (with any text editor), to set the correct locations of the gstreamer files depending on where you installed them in step 2. Then you can run processing with gsvideo/gstreamer support by executing the script from the terminal

It is not very nice, unfortunately gsvideo/gstreamer integration with osx is poor at this point. I hope this helps.

Thanks so much for the reply, I appreciate the help.  I will investigate these options as soon as I can and give you feedback on how it went.
