The GStreamer adventure part I: creating a Windows installer

Update (February 11, 2009): The work originally presented in this post evolved into the WinBuilds project, maintained by Andoni Morales and myself. For more information check out the wiki, where you can download the latest gstreamer installers for windows, as well as access the help forum and register to the mailing list.

One main limitation when trying to use the GSVideo library for processing on windows was the relatively difficult task of installing GStreamer on a windows machine. Besides, the latest “official” installation packages for windows haven’t been updated for some time, while GStreamer code has been making continuous progress during the last months.

GLGraphics update compatible with Processing 0148+

The opengl rendering/threading mode in Processing received some major changes in version 0148. These changes are incompatible with old releases of GLGraphics, but this is solved in the latest release, 0.8.2. This release adds a new class, GLGraphicsOffScreen, which implements off-screen rendering to texture. The downloads are available here.

Another advantage of 0.8.2 is that there is no more need of installing a hacked version of opengl.jar, so things like applets and exported applications that use glgraphics should work fine.

New version of gsvideo

Here you can download a new version of the gsvideo library for processing (0.3.3). It fixes a bug in the calculation of the playback time, and adds a few examples in the library package:
