Beta-testers for GStreamer plugin (OS X)

@fiensinn: Can't check at the moment, but I think GStreamer string should be

@eight would love to try this with youtube. Than kyou very much for your time and your effort with this cool plugin.

Sorry I haven't been able to get into this yet..

@eight - thanks for developing this awesome tool!
Testing now and the bunny video stream worked fine (along with other test streams), so everything seems to be installed right- however I can't get a youtube stream to work. Tried removing 's' in the https, tried using different versions of embed url- nada. What's the secret? (@feinsinn - you also got it right away?).This leads me to suggest one feature for the plugin- is it possible to have some text debugging output from the plugin? Info to know if an url is loading, failed to load/why, buffering.. etc.example youtube url I've tried to load:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YqSvkNjWnnQ*forum is automatically embedding youtube instead of displaying url.. so added break after https:// -
youtube stream worked fine

are you simply typing in the url like above, nothing else? is there a command required in front of it? just tried loading through VPN, restarting, nada. also running 10.9.5, izzy 2.0.5 and other streams work without a problem...
-
@FFD8: That url is a youtube page url, not the video stream url. You have to get the latter in order to be able to use it in the plugin. There are a few ways to achieve this, one is to use livestreamer http://livestreamer.tanuki.se/en/latest/install.html

@eight - aha! Thanks for the tip.. I thought GStreamer was designed to auto extract the stream (since this magic takes place in VLC when giving the page url). Nevertheless, got it working now! Strange bug I've encounter- Isadora crashes when I grab the stream of the video above at both 360p and 720p - 270p loaded without a problem. Just tried it out with about 4 other random videos, no problem when using best or worst streams.. so maybe it's a fluke in that video's settings.
For future youtube interested folks, once livestreamer is installed, desired command line is:$ livestreamer *full_youtube_url* best --stream-urlMain feature request I can think of: adding a trigger input/output for starting the stream, and knowing when it's done. A loop toggle might be useful too- at the moment there's no way to restart the stream unless removing stream string and reentering it. -
@FFD8 Thanks for the input. Could you provide that url that crashes gstreamer?
Regarding the feature requests, I have planned them out, as well as producing a gpu output, but that is dependent on the new version of Isadora SDK, which Mark said is to be released sooner or later.--8 -
Hi All,
My initial intent was to release a final version once the updated Isadora SDK is available (so that I could use gpu-output). However, I keep getting requests about gstreamer, so I decided to release it as is at this point. Attached is the same beta build all beta–testers were testing, from which the time restriction has been removed.NB: I don't have a computer with Isadora with me at the moment and can't test the small change above. Hence there is a slight chance this build will not work. Please report if this is the case, and accept my apologies in advance.----8//////////The prerequisite of this plugin is gstreamer runtime framework. Please download its installer and run it before attempting to use this plugin: [http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/data/pkg/osx/1.4.5/gstreamer-1.0-1.4.5-universal.pkg](http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/data/pkg/osx/1.4.5/gstreamer-1.0-1.4.5-universal.pkg)Once downloaded and extracted, the GStreamerIsadoraPlugin.izzyplug plugin folder should be placed into /Library/Application Support/TroikaTronix/Isadora Plugins/ folder.Isadora should be restarted. -
I have tried GStreamBeta with Isadora 2.4.5. Nothing happened. Is there new developments? or another possibility to input streams (IP webcam or others) in Isadora

@jfguiton: I tried it in 2.4.5 and see no output. I will have to take a look at why this regression. I think it is Isadora related.

Thank you.
