In a post from a while ago, I mentioned an “experimental” installer of gstreamer for OSX. Some people found that libraries bundled with the installer (libiconv.2.dylib in particular) conflicted with versions of the same libraries deployed by other applications. Brad Borevitz just suggested a hack to remedy this issue. As with any hack, no responsibilities are taken for unexpected/undesired effects:-)

Solving library conflict with the installer of GStreamer for OSX 1 comment
GStreamer installer for MacOSX 46 comments
Update: the installer described here is known to cause incompatibilities with other OSX applications. The latest version of GSVideo for mac bundles the GStreamer libs inside the library package, so there is no need for a separate install of GStreamer. If you need a system wide installation of GStreamer for OSX, please try out the one provided by David Liu. Or just use macports.
One of the main limitations for a wider adoption of GStreamer on the Mac platform is the lack of a binary package installer. MacPorts certainly offers a great help to get GStreamer compiled from the source packages on OSX, and the Songbird music player has been making significant inroads by adopting GStreamer as its main media core on the Windows, Linux and OSX platforms (the GStreamer build environment used by Songbird can be browsed online here).

New release of GSVideo: 20080911 68 comments
Yesterday I finished a new, “preview”, release of GSVideo (this is the reason for the numbering scheme being just the release date). One of the main novelties here is the availability of a simplified and up-to-date GStreamer installer for Windows, which hopefully will make easier the process of using GSVideo on the Windows platform. The download link is below:
which includes the GSVideo binaries, source and also the GStreamer installers.

The GStreamer adventure part I: creating a Windows installer 68 comments
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.
